服用两片阿司匹林,在20000英尺的高空呼唤我:医学、探索和科学十字路口的鹰级童子军

English | September 17th, 2024 | ISBN: 1636983936 | 258 pages | True EPUB | 14.04 MB

In his own words, modern-day explorer Dr. Michael Manyak transports thrill seekers to the farthest reaches of the earth, from the dense forests of the Congo Basin to the icy expanses of Antarctica.

While many may crave adventures around the globe, they are unlikely to experience anywhere near the many escapades that Dr. Michael Manyak has had during his prolific career. From his tropical medical training in the Philippines to his stints as the expedition doctor on hikes deep in the Andes and in a submersible to the Titanic wreck site, the author has made the combination of medicine and adventure the dominant theme throughout his life.

His travels have taken him to nearly every continent, where he has encountered endangered and rare species, including camels, snakes, elephants, and more. He has operated on rhinos, rare big cats, gorillas, and even a huge boar hog. Some of his encounters were dangerous to himself and others. He orchestrated evacuations from battle zones in Iraq and was caught in a coup in a dangerous third-world country. He helped rescue nearly 100 victims from a sinking ship.

On occasion, Manyak has been afforded a ringside seat for historical events, and other times, he has been thrust into unusual circumstances by chance. He witnessed the Pentagon attack on 9/11. He managed the healthcare of high-ranking government officials in the United States and other countries. Along the way, he encounters quite a cast of characters, some of them household names and others better left in the dusty corners of history.

Take Two Aspirin and Call Me at 20,000 Feet encapsulates the incredible quests the author experienced on the road to becoming an academic cancer surgeon and explorer in the lab and the field.

中文| 2024年9月17日|国际标准图书编号:1636983936 | 258页|真正的EPUB | 14.04 MB 用他自己的话说,现代探险家Michael Manyak博士将寻求刺激的人带到了地球上最遥远的地方,从刚果盆地的茂密森林到南极洲的冰天雪地。 虽然许多人可能渴望在全球各地冒险,但他们不太可能经历迈克尔·曼亚克博士在其多产的职业生涯中所经历的许多冒险。从他在菲律宾接受的热带医学训练,到在安第斯山脉深处徒步旅行和乘坐潜水器前往泰坦尼克号沉船遗址担任探险医生,作者将医学和冒险相结合作为他一生的主题。 他的旅行几乎把他带到了每一个大陆,在那里他遇到了濒危和稀有物种,包括骆驼、蛇、大象等等。他曾为犀牛、稀有的大型猫科动物、大猩猩,甚至一头巨大的野猪做过手术。他的一些遭遇对他自己和其他人来说都是危险的。他策划了从伊拉克战区的撤离,并在一个危险的第三世界国家的政变中被捕。他帮助从一艘沉船上救出了近100名受害者。 有时,Manyak会被安排在历史事件的场边座位上,而其他时候,他会被偶然推入不同寻常的境地。他目睹了五角大楼在9/11事件中的袭击。他负责管理美国和其他国家高级政府官员的医疗保健。一路上,他遇到了很多人物,其中一些是家喻户晓的名字,另一些则最好留在历史的尘埃角落。 Take Two Aspirin and Call Me at 20000 Feet概括了作者在成为癌症学术外科医生和实验室和现场探险家的道路上所经历的不可思议的任务。
