You'll be able to add Hayley Wickenheiser to the list eventually as likely the only Hall of Famer on the list. She was wrapping up her final year of medical school before COVID hit.

I don't think he has any cards, but NASCAR driver Don Tarr was a dentist in his day job.

NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo is not a doctor but has single handedly paid for several hospitals out of his own pocket.
