Medical Miracle on Everest

The second deadliest day in the history of Mount Everest climbs happened in 1996 — and Ken Kamler was the only doctor on the mountain that day. He shares the incredible story of the climbers’ battle to save lives in extreme conditions, and uses brain imaging technology to map the medical miracle of one man who survived roughly 36 hours buried in the snow.

The best seller used by outdoor programs across the country as a resource and textbook.
