Als das schlimmste Unglück in der Geschichte der Besteigung des Mount Everest passierte, war Ken Kamler der einzige Arzt auf dem Berg. Bei TEDMED teilt er mit uns die unglaubliche Geschichte des Kampfes der Bergsteiger gegen Extrembedingungen und benutzt bildgebende Verfahren der Hirnforschung, um ein Wunder der Medizin aufzuzeigen, bei dem ein Mann überlebt hat, der rund 36 Stunden im Schnee verschüttet war.

Ken Kamler has served as doctor on some of the world’s most daring expeditions, but also performs delicate microsurgery when at home in New York. Full bio »
