Final Log: Amazonas adventure

the Sir Peter Blake Expedition in Brazil and Venezuela, countries in South America that
I had often dreamt of though never thought I would venture to
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
UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)
No full textThis draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive
databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate
to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators
