A dozen or so years back a brilliant surgeon from Texas braved Everest. He came back, alive, no toes, fingers or nose. No more surgery. They did affix some sort sort of nose from butt skin.
Totally worth it, lol.
Beck Weathers. He still practices medicine.
“They did affix some sort sort of nose from butt skin.”
Whenever he sneezes everyone shouts “Hey, who f@rted??”
I had read Into Thin Air by Krakauer and saw the movie version last night; the doctor was Beck Weathers, left for dead to freeze to death, he miraculously got up after sleeping overnite in crazed weather and walked to the camp! Krakauer didn’t like him bc he was conservative - never in my life has someone’s political view been the way I judge them and their character and dismiss them out of hand.
