Dr. Mark E. Franke, a grade school friend of Ben Glass, stopped by to discuss his path into a career in medicine and gives tips and preventative measures for the coronavirus pandemic.

While the coronavirus disease is popularly referred to as just coronavirus, coronavirus refers to a large family of viruses which can cause illnesses in human and many animals. Some of these illnesses are rare but severe respiratory infections, including Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and, as most recently discovered, COVID-19.

Dr. Franke is an emergency medicine physician in Fairfax, Virginia and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Inova Fair Oaks Hospital and Fauquier Hospital. He received his medical degree from New York Medical College and has been in practice for more than 20 years.

Emergency medicine specialists diagnose and treat patients with life-threatening conditions like heart attack, drug overdose, shock, or massive bleeding.
