Franco_92 Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 So it wasn't for his own health but to spend time helping others? Commendable 12
Augie Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Life is more than how much money you made. Have to respect this guy! Giving up the paycheck to help others is amazing stuff. It reminds me a bit of Pat Tillman. Look at the big picture, your values and not what’s easier, safer or makes you rich. That’s hero kind of stuff. I’d be very proud if he was my son. .

Poleshifter Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 He will work as an orderly? I thought he got his MD. Is this the Canadian version of a residency that US doctors must go through?

Duvernay-Tardif graduated from medical school. I guess he is not a supporter of "Fake news". He graduated and spent some time as an intern during offseason. 4
TroutDog Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) He’s a hero. Pushing through the garbage of MSNBC and FOX news to speak the truth. If only every day people would follow suit and recognize that slanted channels/news is detrimental to this country. There is no Dem and GOP...we are all Americans. He’s a hero to me, plain and simple. Edited July 25, 2020 by TroutDog 3 4 1
Don Otreply Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Good on him, he has his head on straight, and is a serious role model.

Mike in Horseheads Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Not sure how anybody on here can't say thats awesome of him but someone will I bet. As someone up^ said hes a hero! 1
K-9 Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Rare strength of character and conviction to be sure. Something for all of us to aspire to. I wish him well.

machine gun kelly Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Hapless, if you think about it, he doesn’t have a nursing license so he can’t work as a nurse, nor a scrub tech in the OR, and if he hasn’t done an internship or residency, then it actually does make sense he could only contribute as an orderly. Everything is licensed as I’m sure you know. Regardless, very, very honorable of him to help out, and if this is how he can help his neighborhood, god bless him. I could care less if it were Canada or the US. Does it really matter? Last time I checked, not for you Hapless, but the other person, Canada is still part of North America. Growing up in Buffalo and a lot of blurry nights north of the border at 19, Canada was a suburb of Buffalo.

Perusing the reactions to the tweet(mostly good some vile) I got the impression their might some sort of shortage of them causing it. 1
Special K Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 In case you hadn't heard, Chiefs lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif earned his medical degree and requested to add “M.D.” to the nameplate on his jersey. The NFL reportedly denied his request. It started with a simple tweet saying the NFL rejected his request, and buzz and reaction continued to grow.Jun 27, 2018 I remember when the above happened a couple years ago, and thought the NFL missed a real opportunity(as usual) to promote a player with a great story by allowing the MD on his nameplate. I'm sure the league regrets that decision now, as he's showing himself to be a high-character individual, worthy of recognition. 2
