Dr Phil Hammond tells the story of another GP who experiences extraordinary journeys as part of their work.
Frostbite, altitude sickness and machete accidents. All injuries that expedition doctors can come across as they travel throughout the world with charity fundraisers, gap year students and adventurers. All fairly unusual for your standard practising GP.
As Alex Hoskin prepares to climb Africa's highest mountain, Phil Hammond tells his story of nerves, excitement....and potential lion attacks.
Produced by Lucy Adam.
