The emergency room staff at Brigham and Women’s Hospital was treated to a surprise Friday afternoon, when Celtics center Enes Kanter called to thank the group for its efforts amid the coronavirus outbreak.
“They’re putting their life on the line,” Kanter said in a phone conversation later Friday. “They just want to make this world better. They just want people to feel better.”
Kanter spoke to the staff via video chat and also engaged in a short Q&A. He asked a few questions of his own, inquiring, for example, about the length of a typical shift.
“I was complaining about a two-hour practice, they’re talking about 12 hours,” he said.
