Running medical camp in such high altitude is a difficult experience for her. When asked about her project, Dr. Freer said: The way I ended up here was simply a product of following my passion for the mountains and be open minded lucky enough to follow. I guess I can thank my intuition about just knowing what was right. I feel very fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time and have the support of my co-workers so that I will develop this clinic. Despite suffering setbacks in her first year, she did not end motivation. An incident in which a goalkeeper rescued was a few minutes of death from high altitude cerebral edema (HACE) marked a turning point in her life on Everest. In the first 9 seasons, the clinic recorded over 2,500 patient visits. Everest has been a considerable amount of deaths over 60 years.
