iluka Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 If you're planning a trip to Nepal, Peru, Kilimanjaro or any other high altitude location and not sure how you'll do with the altitude, there's an upcoming lecture on the topic. Tuesday, October 4 at 7PM at Wide World Books and Maps in Wallingford. The talk is dedicated to teaching people how to recognize, prevent and treat high altitude illness when they travel to the mountains. Admission is free.

catbirdseat Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 May I ask, who is the speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluka Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 The speaker is Andy Luks, a pulmonary and critical care fellow at the UW who, in addition to his medical work, does research on high altitude topics and has also spent 3 months working in Nepal for the Himalayan Rescue Association at their clinic in Pheriche as well as some time working at a few other high altitude research stations.
