Ep. 14: Expedition Medicine (cont.) - What it is like working as an MD at Mount Everest Base Camp with Guest Dr. Sophie Wallace

The world of medicine is notoriously complicated, especially when it comes to emergency care. There’s a wealth of information available. Unfortunately, much of it is overwhelming and difficult to understand. And when you add a pandemic into the mix, it’s easy for patients and their loved ones to feel scared and uncertain. Episode topics range from particular diseases, disease processes, interviews with leading doctors, and interviews with patients.
