A member from the UAE needed field rescue while trekking Broad Peak Mountain in Pakistan after having trouble walking following a fall into a crevasse. She contacted Global Rescue, and the medical operations team advised her to descend to base camp, the highest elevation allowable for a helicopter transport. Despite suffering additional symptoms including shortness of breath, a cough, generalized weakness and diarrhea, she was able to descend off Broad Peak and undertake a short hike to the K2 base camp where she was transported by helicopter to a hospital and treated for frostbite on her nose and large toes in addition to left knee trauma from her fall. She was admitted for two nights before recovering sufficiently and being discharged.
