Mountains, Lions, and Massive G.I. Issues! - Ep 029

Join me on this episode of The Spinoso Podcsst as I recount one of the most challenging and unforgettable experiences of my life. Over 15 years ago, during medical school, my then-girlfriend and I embarked on a journey to Africa that would test our physical and mental limits. From exploring the ancient wonders of Egypt to immersing ourselves in the vibrant culture of Kenya, our adventure was filled with awe-inspiring moments and profound encounters with the people of Africa. But it was our decision to climb Mount Kilimanjaro that would push us to our limits in ways we never imagined. As we ascended the mountain, we faced unexpected challenges, including a debilitating illness caused by contaminated water. Despite our determination, we ultimately fell short of reaching the summit, but not before enduring a harrowing descent that would land us in a Tanzanian hospital. Through moments of despair and triumph, this episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the kindness of strangers who helped us along the way. Join me as I share the highs and lows of our African adventure and reflect on the  lessons learned from facing adversity in the pursuit of our goals.
