Quand le pire désastre de de l'histoire de l'ascension du mont Everest s'est produit, Ken Kamler était le seul médecin présent sur le sommet. À TEDMED, il nous fait découvrir l'incroyable histoire de la lutte entre les alpinistes et les conditions extrêmes et utilise l'imagerie du cerveau pour comprendre le miracle médical de la survie d'un homme enseveli sous la neige 36 heures durant.

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 »
