8:00 p.m. Special Guest Speaker: Dr.
Kenneth Kamler, The Everest Doctor
Dr. Kamler is an orthopedic surgeon and vice president of The Explorers
Club. Author of "Surviving The Extremes" and "Doctor on Everest",
Kamler’s
Everest exploits were chronicled in the bestseller "Into Thin Air" and
in the
IMAX film "Everest".
He will discuss his exploits and the human body’s
reaction to extreme adventure, with an eye toward keeping our
adventures safe and sound. Physiological constraints confine our
bodies to less than one-fifth of the earth's surface. Beyond that
fraction lie the extremes. What happens when we go to them?
Dr. Kenneth Kamler has spent years observing exactly what happens.He
has climbed, dived, sledded, floated, and trekked through some of the
most treacherous and remote regions in the world. A consultant for
NASA, Yale University, and the National Geographic Society, he has
explored undersea caves, crossed the frozen Antarctic wastelands, and
stitched a boy's hand back together while kneeling in knee-deep
Amazonian mud. He was the only doctor on Everest during the tragic
expedition documented in Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" and helped
treat its survivors.
Kamler has devoted his life to investigating how our bodies respond to
"environmental insults" -- a nice way of saying the things that can
kill us -- and watched while some succumbed to them and others,
sometimes miraculously, overcome them. He will share his experiences
with Spring Outing attendees in what promises to be an extremely
memorable presentation. For more on Dr. Kamler’s exploits, visit:
