The story is amazing, my brother who is stationed where this event took place, asked me to find the books to give to his friends. The story which was made into a television movie tells of the amazing self diagnosis and self surgury a doctor performed on herself while snowbound in Antarctica. The surgury helped saved her life until emergency flights from New Zealand were able to get into this remote part of the world and evacuate her back out into the world. During the winter season in this part of the world it is almost impossible due to the weather to fly into this part of the world. The military must send in only their most experienced pilots to try to make a pickup or drop.
Very interesting book about her life and her time in the South Pole. Good insite into all she went through with her health problems.
