I think people align themselves with my way of thinking when they're talking to me. They try to create new avenues for me to pursue, so if you want to be a doctor and you have interest in human rights and philanthropy and social equality of medicine and disease, why don't you think about being surgeon general?

Myron Rolle

You would think none of my brothers have jobs with how much time they spend on the phone with our mom.

Myron Rolle

I've wanted to do medicine actually before I started playing football.

Myron Rolle

A lot of the same joy and adrenaline rush that I felt after making a good play or winning in football I feel now after a successful surgery.

Myron Rolle

I could go to Oxford, I could immerse myself in a new culture, I could develop my intellectual capital, I could expand my network, I can travel from country to country like it's state to state, and being in that fraternity of Rhodes Scholars was just a truly special demarcation.

Myron Rolle

It affected even our neurosurgical department in a way where our neurosurgical floor has now been transformed into a COVID-19 patient-only floor.

Myron Rolle

I listen to some rap music. I'm from the Bahamas so I like reggae as well. And then I slow it down with a little Frank Sinatra.

Myron Rolle

I know that my parents are proud of me.

Myron Rolle

My teammates, they kid me all the time. My nickname is the doctor or the president in the locker room.

Myron Rolle

We are trained to be medical doctors first and if you have to put neurosurgery aside to deal with the most vulnerable and susceptible patients, then that's what we'll do.

Myron Rolle

I went to Florida State for college. Then I went to Oxford in England for a master's degree. I was drafted by the Titans and was with them for two years, and then one year in Pittsburgh with the Steelers.

Myron Rolle

Here at Mass General, we're one of the largest hospitals in the New England area and perhaps even the country. We're Harvard affiliated, so we have a lot of resources just at baseline.

Myron Rolle

I think I've worked hard for everything that's happened but I know I've had a lot of support from family, friends, and even at Florida State. My coaches and teammates have supported me in everything I've wanted to accomplish.

Myron Rolle

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.

Myron Rolle

Football has done so much for me, given me friends, family, given me life lessons that now I can use in the operating room or just as a leader.

Myron Rolle

There'd be a call from Michigan Scout, then Michigan Rivals, then Iowa Scout, then Iowa Rivals. These guys are competing, and I'm just the guy in the middle giving them the story.

Myron Rolle

You know I went to the Hunt Schools, a boarding school in Princeton, and I've heard so many Rhodes scholars have gone to the Ivys.

Myron Rolle

I feel that public service is so important and giving back, being a role model and helping people in need is something that I would love to do.

Myron Rolle

I came from a prep school in New Jersey, so I get that when I got to FSU, some people weren't sure about me - I didn't play in Florida or Texas or at a powerhouse high school.

Myron Rolle

The hospital has adjusted itself in response to Covid-19, the influx of patients. So walking into the hospital, you immediately realize that you're playing a different ballgame.

Myron Rolle

It could be seasonal allergies, it could be pneumonia, it could be the common cold, it could be flu. And so it takes tests and lab work and resources and scans to parse out if this is COVID-19 or if this is something else.
