Nosocomial Infections/Sasha Cohen
As a nurse myself, practicing for 29 years full time, I fail to see what nosocomial infections have to with this discussion-even as a joke. But if you want a serious response- for a start, try washing your hands for 30 seconds, every time, before and after taking care of a patient. We were talking about figure skating I believe.
I think you would understand the relevance of my previous comment if you did try and stand up on the ice and do what Sasha Cohen does in competition and practice.
Sasha's spins, spiral and layback have raised the standard for ALL skaters. Her flexibility has also had an impact i.e. notice all those spiral/Biellmans (sp?) lately? Her balletic quality has everyone trying to figure out how to compete at the artistic level, except for Kwan who has her own special brand of artistry. When Sasha showed up on the scene she blew everyone away and rightly so. She is uniquely gifted. The fact that she hasn't fullfilled her initial promise and media hype doesn't mean that she won't. The sad thing about some of this commentary is that I think some of you hope she doesn't. Even though I am a Michelle Kwan fan, I am a little more generous of spirit, and I want everyone to skate their best.
