Welcome back to the World Extreme Medicine podcast, where we delve into fascinating and sometimes unexpected stories from the world of expedition medicine.

From treating common colds to unexpected cases like a yak herder's rectal wound, our medical student-turned-expedition doctors Matt and Priya shares their experiences and the moral dilemmas they faced in providing care.
Join us as we explore the intricacies of delivering medical help in a remote and unpredictable environment, where practice guidelines may need to be adapted, and where limited resources can shape life or death outcomes.
