What You Know...

...may terrify you. While this very informative book gave us a plethora of creative ideas, it is possible that we may diagnose a sore muscle as a sure sign of a rare mountain borne illness.

Dave learned that treatment of any or all of the following would be most uncomfortable:

Compound fracture
Dislocated shoulder
Root canal infection (he did that in Bhutan)
Arrow extraction
Frostbite (rapid rewarming is preferable)
Riding out on a mule with a broken ankle

So, we will avoid anything that might hurt.

Safety first.
