Everest ER

Synopsis

Documentary following a team of British doctors as they run the highest hospital in the world on the foothills of Mount Everest.

Avalanches, mountain sickness, cerebral oedema, helicopter rescues, violent storms and air so thin it barely sustains life. A cast of highly-motivated, charismatic adventurers and doctors, focused on one thing - standing on the summit of Everest. Real human drama set against a backdrop of the most spectacular mountains on Earth.
