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.

I've got this thing with skating and school - to see how much I can accomplish.

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

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.

I am not really sure how I got interested in medicine.

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

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