Kansas City Chiefs guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, who holds Doctor of Medicine and Master of Surgery degrees, has been working at a long-term care facility in Canada to help during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Duvernay-Tardif wrote of his experience in a first-person article for Sports Illustrated:
"A few days ago, health ministry officials started a campaign to recruit health care professionals, especially students in medicine and nursing. It's now possible for me to go back and help. I had already wanted to, but when it's real, it hits you, the gravity involved.
