《在两片阿司匹林和2万英尺高空打电话:一名游走在医学、探险与科学十字路口的鹰级 scout》
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.
现代探险家迈克尔·马尼克博士将冒险爱好者带到了地球最遥远的角落,从刚果盆地的茂密森林到南极洲的冰冻地带。 许多人渴望全球各地的冒险经历,但他们几乎不可能在迈克尔·马尼克博士漫长的职业生涯中体验他所经历的许多冒险。从菲律宾进行热带医学训练到作为安第斯山脉深处徒步旅行和潜水器前往泰坦尼克号沉船遗址的探险医生,作者将医疗与冒险相结合贯穿了一生的主题。 他的旅行遍及几乎每个大洲,在那里他曾遇到濒危和稀有物种,包括骆驼、蛇、大象等等。他曾在犀牛、稀有大型猫科动物、猩猩以及甚至一头巨大野猪身上进行过手术。有些经历对他和他的同伴来说都很危险。他在伊拉克的战区指挥撤离,并在一个危险的第三世界国家中遭遇政变。他曾帮助营救近100名因船只沉没而受困的人。 马尼克博士有时能目睹历史事件的一幕,其他时候则是偶然被卷入了不寻常的情况。他见证了9·11袭击五角大楼的情景。他在美国和其他国家管理过高级政府官员的医疗保健。在旅途中,他遇到了各种各样的人物,其中有些人是家喻户晓的人物,而有些则更适合留在历史尘封的角落。 《在20000英尺高处服用两片阿司匹林》一书总结了作者为了成为一名学术癌症外科医生和实验室与野外探险者所经历的非凡旅程。
