Former Tennessee Titan Myron Rolle on the frontlines against COVID-19
Football has never left me. I still wake up in the morning and think of the operating room like a game, like it's showtime, let's perform. I gotta do what I gotta do because people are counting on us right now.
Words from Myron Rolle, who was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL draft.
Rolle, who spent three seasons as a defensive back for the Titans, left the organization in 2013 to enroll himself into medical school, fulfilling his dream of becoming a brain surgeon.
As the COVID-19 pandemic swept the nation, the neurosurgical wing at Massachusetts General Hospital, where Rolle is a third year resident, quickly became a point of treatment for the virus.
Our neurosurgical floor has been transformed into a floor just full of COVID-19 patients. It is hectic, that's for sure, Rolle told ESPN.
Rolle, along with his colleagues, are doing their part to treat those afflicted by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic throughout Massachusetts.
Though he may not be focusing on the neurosurgical aspect of medicine at this time, the former Titans safety is doing what he set out to do, helping those in need.
This is our time to help very sick people. So that motivation continues to drive me every single day.
