Doctor Anyone?

Last year in the class Biomed year two we were required to read the book called Surviving the Extremes. I wasn’t really interested in it much and we always had well over enough work to do for that class including labs and dissections. I finally decided to read the book this week as the description on the back drawled my attention.
Surviving the extremes is a true story that a doctor has written when traveling to many environments and curing different people. Some of these environments include Jungle, High seas, Desert, Underwater, High Altitude, and finally Outer Space.
In the first chapter Dr. Kamler a doctor from New York City is on an expedition with various other scientist. The doctor has accommodated on the trip to serve as the team doctor and watch over everyone’s health at the extreme conditions of weather, adaption, as well as lifestyle changes. Reading through the first few chapters I came to realize that Dr. Kamler is a doctor who is confident of his actions and can adapt to environmental changes. In addition, Dr. Kamler reacts to medical situations in different environmental areas very calmly as well as accurately. In other words in challenging locations and environments Dr. Kamler can pull of a medical procedure and treat patients. For example, as Dr. Kamler is in the Jungle a young Indian boy has cut his wrist open by mistake. Although the doctor does not have the right supplies needed nor the language needed to communicate with the young Indian boy he proceeds with the stitching and successfully reunites the boys wrist to one. The first few chapters focus on Dr. Kamler's attitude, nature, and adaption towards new environments. These new environments come to show and explore different medical options to the extremes.
