Jeremy Pruitt surprises coronavirus intensive care worker to say thanks for all the hard work
Published:
Kipp Shipley doesn’t have an easy job, he’s an intensive care worker for Vanderbilt University Medical Center dealing with patients during a global pandemic.
While nothing Jeremy Pruitt can say is going to make Shipley’s job any easier, the Volunteer coach likely made the Tennessee graduate’s day recently after surprising him on during a video interview with radio host Chris Russo.
How big of a Tennessee fan is Shipley? During the interview, he shared that he named his son Knox in honor of his love for the East Tennessee area.
“I just wanted to tell you from the UT Family, the job all the nurses, doctors, first responders across our country, the courage that it takes to go to work every day and fight this disease, I can’t thank you enough for what you do,” Pruitt says in the video below.
