During 5 days in the Swiss alps, the last course in the UK Diploma in Mountain Medicine curriculum was held in Arolla, a parallell valley to Zermatt. In the charismatic hotel Mont Collon we held base, under Andy´s supervision. Graham led the guides as usual, the staff consisting of Steve, Nigel and u.t. It was a pleasure to see Brian again and along with Andy, the two created medical scenarios in the field. Heatstroke, cardiac problems and a sprained ancel were some of the problems that had to be solved. Two of the nights were spent in mountain huts, spending the day before and after to practice different alpine skills. All were drilled in crevasse rescue, prussiking and other rope techniques. As usual, with Brian on the team, the week ended in the piano bar. Another good week logged;)
