The most recognized male figure skater in history doesn’t define himself that way. Instead, he jokingly mentions his “hobby of collecting life-threatening illnesses” and then moves on to how his celebrity combined with the blunt fact that he’s survived against the odds gives him a powerful platform to help others. That, it would seem, is how Scott Hamilton sees himself these days. As a man working hard to make sure others have it better than he does, even in the midst of horrible circumstances. "The more you go through it the more you learn and the more you wish you would have known earlier. "I just really want people that are just diagnosed with cancer […] to truly understand what the implications are for this path forward and your treatment options." Scott Hamilton also has thoughts for the healthcare system as a whole, along with health entrepreneurs, healthcare executives, patient advocates and the biomedical research community on how we can improve outcomes and make cancer a much more manageable process for those affected by it.
