It has been a memorable 24 hours for Jairah Zinni, one of the 76 frontline health care workers who went on an all-expenses-paid trip to the Super Bowl courtesy of the New England Patriots.
"It was once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was so wild," she said. "I've always watched it on TV, and you kind of have to pinch yourself while you're there and seeing everything."
Dr. Michelle Diop, a resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, was also chosen to go.
"We got off that plane, the sun was just — all the warmth was amazing," Diop said.
