Summiting Mount Everest – with special guest Tim Allardyce

In Ep.291 of the STA Clinician Podcast, host Matt Phillips speaks with special guest Tim Allardyce, founder of Rehab My Patient, about his recent ascent of Mount Everest — the physical challenges, medical issues experienced (frostnip, mild frostbite, and a posterior tibial DVT), and the grit it took to reach the summit. Tim shares his preparation and acclimatization strategies, the role of Sherpa teams, and the charity work funded by the expedition to support local schools, an orphanage and Sherpa communities.
