Nurse Hikes, Gets Poked by Pole | Boston News
Description
A Montana wound nurse on a solo summit attempt slipped and had a trekking pole impaled through his side—no chest injury, but a seven-hour ordeal before medics pulled it out. With grit, quick thinking, and a GPS SOS, he avoided a chopper and convinced ER doctors to let him self-extract under sedation. His lesson? Always have a reliable emergency contact—even pros get freak accidents. Now sore and disappointed his crew missed the peak, he’s already plotting a return next year.
