But I like it when my patients are impressed not knowing that I was an Olympian.

Figure skating was a pretty individual sport. I've grown up a lot since those days and enjoy being part of a team now. Being a doctor is about working with nurses, therapists, anesthesiologists, and I've learned more about team play being a doctor than when I was in sports.

My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.

It is great to be a part of the whole skating family, and it makes me feel ecstatic that my name will be among the greats of the sport.

If you trust your nerve as well as your skill, you're capable of a lot more than you can imagine.

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.

Just because you didn't start out perfect doesn't mean you can't have an excellent result in the end.
