CONAN'S DAD: Dr. Thomas Francis O'Brien, MD
I'm an MD/PhD student and am a huge fam of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. We're really swamped with COVID-19 patients these days. However, Conan brings a smile to many of the medical students, residents, and attending physicians when they have a chance to listen. Major thanks to Conan for keeping us sane.
I only recently realized that I grew up knowing about Dr. Thomas Francis O'Brien's work on multidrug bacterial resistance years before I started watching the show. Conan's dad, Dr. Thomas Francis O'Brien, is such a pioneering figure and I hope Conan could have his dad on the podcast sometime soon to chat about COVID-19 and infectious disease things. I think it would make a lot of medical and science people happy to hear from him with Conan. Thanks!
