- «The role of a medic on expedition has many faces, from doctor to chef, photographer, teacher, pot-washer, latrine-digger and counsellor. You have to earn your salt as a fully-fledged team member, which means being able to fulfil all of these roles and comfortably complete the expedition itself.»
