KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Two days after signing a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs worth $41 million, guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif was back in his hometown of Montreal tending to his other passion: medicine.
Duvernay-Tardif was making his rounds visiting geriatric patients at an area hospital Thursday as part of his medical school curriculum at Montreal’s McGill University.
“The cutoff is usually 65 and older and we’re kind of the specialist in geriatric syndromes: delirium, dementia, really frail people and polypharmacy [the effects of taking multiple medications for differing health problems]," Duvernay-Tardif said in a conference call with reporters who cover the Chiefs.
