Final Days in Manang!

HRA Patient Waiting Area










We are leaving Manang on Monday. For the sake of our knees, we are flying from a dirt airstrip near here (two hour walk) to the city of Pokhara. From there we'll travel on through Kathmandu to Singapore for a few days of warmth before heading home.
Lexi treated and evacuated another case of High Altitude Cerebral Edema, and treated a Nepali man with pneumonia that had been living at 17,700 feet for six weeks!

  3. Will look forward to hearing from you guys once you are out of the rarified air. Great photo of the recovery room (you called it patient waiting area)it is truly a keeper. I am anxious to hear the real story. Will your departure leave them w/out support or are you to be replaced?

    Have safe and low stress travels. Looking forward to having you back home...Dad
