Rescuing a Hiker in Zion National Park with Dr. Dominic King
In this episode of the AMSSM Sports Medcast, host Dr. Jeremy Schroeder welcomes Dr. Dominic King, a sports medicine physician from Cleveland, Ohio, who shares a gripping story about applying his medical skills in an unexpected setting.
While on a hiking trip in Zion National Park to celebrate his 40th birthday with friends, Dr. King encountered a woman with a severe ankle injury. He, along with his Eagle Scout friend and other hikers, fashioned a makeshift stretcher and splint to carry the woman to safety before a storm hit.
Dr. King reflects on the importance of his medical training, the kindness of strangers, and the power of fortuitous events in successfully managing the emergency. The episode calls on listeners to share similar experiences where their sports medicine expertise made a significant impact outside a traditional clinical setting.
