Mongolian Expedition
No full textExpedition medicine is becoming a lot more popular with travelers now, so 'tis important to
have some idea about it when advising on issues of remote travel. I was approached to give
medical expertise on an expedition to Outer Mongolia whose role was to find out how
many snow leopards are there in the region. The task sounded quite exciting actually, and
apart from my role as Expedition Doctor (ED), I figured that I would have an equally hard
task of keeping beloved Lynne, also known as 'the Memsahib', actively enthusiastic about the
journey. When I mentioned the idea to her, she was bland faced and not too much excited;
so I declined to tell her about the camping we would be doing at altitude in the snowline.
OK, so it was a mistake, more so because the region just happens to be 'quite' windy and
she hates wind. Had to be careful, else I fear that morale could dip a little on our journey.
Figured that I would take lots of happy-juice and family photos along with me.
The modern practice of expedition medicine is to encourage adventure but to attempt to
minimize the risk of trauma and diseases by proper planning involving risk assessment, preventive
measures such as vaccinations, prophylactic drugs and medical equipment, knowledge
of first aid, emergency and primary healthcare skills, communication skills, and an attitude
of caring for both the anticipated team and the anticipated cultures of the expedition. So,
the usual 'medical stuff' but with expedition planning needs to cover all contingencies: from
mild illnesses and disease to group health insurances, through to unforeseen events such
as evacuating a seriously-ill, injured or dead person. Important also in the pre-trip planning
is local knowledge of the area to be traveled. To tl1is end, the ED needs to investigate local
lmowledge in the country. This was hard to do in Mongolia, mainly because very few people
speak English and there are very few adequate medical facilities outside the main city of
Ulaanbaatar.
Many groups of expeditioners travel without a doctor, nurse or suitably qualified paramedic.
Notwithstanding this, an experienced doctor is a valuable member of any team and
has the role of looking after such medically related issues as managing pre-existing health
problems, advising on suitable immunizations and anti-malarials, assessing any travel-related
health risks, and finally making preparations for the trip that include the assembly of a suitable
medical kit. Good stuff, but hard work. Medical problems may arise during or after the expedition and the ED needs confidence in dealing with the varying demands of an
expedition team, which will vary enormously depending on the individuals, the task of the
expedition and the location
Confessions of a 'Reality TV' doc
No full textI am bulked into the middle seat on the right side of the plane while coming back to New Zealand from Namibia. On my left is a fat man with body odor 'big-time' and on my right
is a lovely French woman who has a lilt to her voice that makes your heart sing. I am
cramped - again. My long legs. For a moment I wonder whom to ask if I can rest my head
on their shoulder, but a puff of fetid breath makes my mind up for me. I snooze and reflect
on a successful journey to Southern Africa, as a doctor for 25 folk on a reality TV program.
I don't get to go on TV, damn it, but I do get to care for the group's medical needs
The musical life of Artie Shaw
No full textArtie Shaw (1910-2004) was born to a poverty-stricken family of Jewish immigrants. In
addition to his family’s economic standing, Shaw faced many hardships during his youth
including abuse, sickness, and discrimination. Through all of these adversities, Artie came to rely
on music to fit in and be successful. After gaining a reputation as a skilled sideman on clarinet
and saxophone, Artie launched a career as a bandleader, which spanned nearly two decades.
During his career, Shaw gained more wealth and fame than he ever imagined as a
troubled child growing up in New Haven, Connecticut; but early in his career, he came to detest
the dealings of the music business, of which he was at the forefront by 1938, and the pressures of
being a celebrity. Although Artie made several attempts to leave the music business, he
continuously returned either because of contractual obligations or to make money.
In addition to Artie’s complex musical life, he also led a difficult personal life. In a 53-
year period, Shaw had eight marriages, all ending in divorce or annulment. Half of these
marriages were with Hollywood actresses, and he allegedly had dozens of more affairs. In 1954,
Artie Shaw made his final retirement from performing. He lived another 50 years working as an
author and following other pursuits outside of music.Thesis (M.M.
