He not only won one Olympic Gold Medal, but two in men's platform diving in 1948 and 1952.
Dr. Sammy Lee also won bronze medal in the 3 meter springboard and coached Bob Webster and Greg Louganis to their Olympic medals.
In terms of his medical career, he studied pre-med at Occidental College followed his MD from University of Southern California (USC) Medical School in 1947. He than went on to become an ear, nose and throat specialist.
Yeah!
There are other ENTs who are former Olympians, but none who won gold including Dr. Valeria Silva Merea (2004 and 2008 Olympics).
