Now a few months on, the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs offensive lineman and the NFL's first medical doctor to play in the league, is working in a hospital assisting in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Duvernay-Tardif is on the frontline working in a "nursing role" in a Montreal long-term healthcare facility which has felt the strain on the workforce due to coronavirus.Sports Illustrated.
"I felt nervous the night before, but a good nervous, like before a game and I packed everything neatly: scrubs, white coat, extra pens, even a second pair of shoes that I could leave in my locker, knowing they were clean. "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. Honestly, I was drained after - and looking forward to going back."
