“A chronicle of all of the lives claimed by Mount Everest”

The mountain was just standing there minding it’s own business, it claimed no one’s life.
I worked at Shanta Bahwan Hospital, outside Katmandu, in 1972.
We were treating Sherpa guides for severe frostbite while guiding Everest climbers. The money was too good for poor men to pass up. They were not supplied boots or proper clothing for the conditions.
I don’t have much sympathy for adventurers that take risks they are not prepared for, and endangers others in the process.

I worked at Shanta Bahwan Hospital, outside Katmandu, in 1972.

I will be on a project detailed to the World health Organization through USAID and US Pharmacopoeia, "Promoting the Quality of Medicines" in Katmandu next month.

Have you been back recently and do you recommend a hotel there?
