 Cindy Nelson is well known for having skied on four US Olympic teams and also winning Olympic medal in downhill but four is a small number compared to the number of surgeries that you've had through the Stevin Clinic and Dr. Stevin. You want to talk about that relationship? Well I was his first elite athlete way back in 1974 and I skied on the International Circuit for 14 years. I had 13 injuries, 11 surgeries and I never missed an entire season and that speaks volumes for Dr. Stedman's ability to get us back on our skis, get us working again and each time I came back after the surgeries I was better and stronger than before the injury. That's extraordinary. When you're a downhiller you know that injury at sometimes almost inevitable. When you know that there's a Dr. Stedman who's there does it give you a sense of reassurance? I mean you're not thinking about getting hurt but you know that that's who can fix you? Absolutely. I'm sure it gave us the edge we needed in many races. What do you think is the magic of Richard Stedman? I think it's Dr. Stedman is a unique individual. He's brilliant, he's a surgical genius but that's blended with the man that he is and his interests in helping you. He's humble, he is focused, and a whole lot of fun. You also serve on the Stedman Philippine Research Institute board. You want to talk briefly about that and is that sort of giving back for you after all that you got from him? Yes in a way it is. I think it's I love my board seat there and I think it's it's so inspiring for me to continue to be close to true pioneers in medicine. What they're doing at the Stedman Philippine Research Institute is so amazing that you know the world is their oyster. They keep pioneering methods and new treatment techniques and then they prove it through the they prove the science through the Research Institute. So taking all the creative energies from the doctors and letting them come up with the new better way to treat that problem. Well the problems that you had were treated very well. Cindy Nelson one of the best there ever was.
