Scale Mount Everest with a daring team of trauma doctors as they attempt to make medical history. Using themselves as guinea pigs and the mountain as a laboratory, watch them risk their lives in the name of science. Discover what it means to struggle in the Death Zone - an area with little oxygen - as the climbers' bodies fight for survival on the mountainside. Although their quest is extremely dangerous, their work could possibly change the face of emergency medicine.
