Cuando el peor desastre en toda la historia de la escalada del Monte Everest sucedió, Ken Kamler era el único doctor en la montaña. En TEDMED, él comparte la increíble historia de la batalla de los escaladores en contra de condiciones extremas, y usa la tecnología de imágenes cerebrales para mostrar el milagro médico de un hombre que sobrevivió aproximadamente 36 horas enterrado en la nieve.

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 »
