Nationwide — Dr. Myron Rolle is a Rhodes Scholar and college football player who was drafted by the NFL to play for the Tennessee Titans in 2010. But nowadays at 33-years old, he is a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston helping to fight the Coronavirus pandemic.
During a recent interview with ESPN, he reveals what its like trying to save the lives of patients infected with Coronavirus. He says that he is “seeing so many individuals with respiratory distress and respiratory compromise, and the numbers are staggering.”
“It is hectic, that’s for sure,” he adds. But he explains that being a former football star still comes in handy. “I 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. This is our time to help very sick people. So that motivation continues to drive me every single day.”
Myron is also founder of the Myron L. Rolle Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the support of health, wellness, educational and other charitable initiatives throughout the world that benefit children and families in need.
