Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is putting his doctorate in medicine to good use. ❤️
Because Duvernay-Tardif is still under contract with the Chiefs, he had to check in with them first to make sure it was OK to help out. He says they were"amazing" and"proud" to support him, and that he was back in the hospital shortly after that.
"My shift started at 7:30 a.m. I found out that I would be working for now in more of a nursing role, helping relieve the workers who have already been in place," he adds."There’s so much that needs to happen just to visit with every patient -- masks donned and hands washed and equipment like gloves and visors tugged on and off and thrown away. I handled a medication cart, making sure to administer the right dosage and in the proper way.
"I was reminded of that even at the facility, when one of the people training me turned and said, 'You’re the football player, right?' When I answered yes, he said, 'Bro, you just won the Super Bowl.' Indeed, I told him, and now I just want to help," he says."Playing in the Super Bowl vs. heading back to the medical system during a pandemic is totally different. Back in February, I knew that 100 million-plus people were going to be watching, and I wanted to win.
