About WildMedic

Welcome!

I’m sure if you’ve stumbled across this blog it is due to an interest in the wilderness, medicine aviation, or some combination thereof.  If you’ve just stumbled along, make yourself comfy and look around.  Although I’m an infrequent blogger, I try to include useful information and resources inbetween my musings.  For writing, information and images specific to my time on expeditions to Antarctica, look at my AntarcticDoctor blog.  This WildMedic blog is for everything else; adventures, meddling with aviation, philosophising, quirky medical anecdotes and whatever tweaks my fancy.

I’m a doctor trained and practicing in South Africa, with primary interests and experience in the fields of trauma, emergency medicine, anaesthesia, critical care, pre-hospital and aeromedicine.  I’ve spiced things up with some Antarctic expeditions, have too many outdoor hobbies to keep up with, and recently embarked on a very daunting challenge (getting married, *grin*).

Nothing in this blog is meant to be used as a replacement for sound medical judgement by a licensed doctor who is physically present, so please don’t use it as such, ok?

Enjoy
