We had all the water that was necessary, we just couldn’t pull it through.”The second varsity, however, took advantage of every meter of water available to eek out a gold medal win—the boat’s fourth in five seasons.

But when it comes to communicating with patients, Brickell has a problem: she's too healthy. Like most of her classmates, she has spent very little time as a patient.
