Interesting documentary on Hypoxia/AMS

I'll admit, I'm a wilderness/mountain medicine geek. I've only taken 300 hours of backcountry medicine training in the last year or so :P

Tack on another hour to that 300! Thanks for sharing! It is buffering up right now.

From WFA to WFR to WEMT, altitude illnesses and acclimatization have always interested me. Throw into that mix the fact that I'm a licensed pilot (haven't flow for about 9 years, though) and I've been up to 10-11,000' in unpressurized aircraft before, I've learned a bit about hypoxia over the years.
