Urgent Antarctica mission to rescue Australian researcher - BBC News

[@DeclanMBrennan]

During Antarctic Winter of 1961 on the newly established Novolazarevskaya Station, surgeon Leonid Rogozov successfully removed his own appendix which is pretty hard core.

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

And don't forget the woman in 1998! I Googled the details... Jerri Lin Nielsen (née Cahill; March 1, 1952 - June 23, 2009) was an American physician with extensive emergency room experience, who self-treated her breast cancer while stationed at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica until she could be evacuated safely. The treatment included surgery. 😮

I am thinking the port conditions cannot readily accommodate the large ice breaker. I'm imagining the ship anchors offshore several thousand feet, and the helicopter transports the patient from the base to the ship.

Just in case anyone is a bit confused by this clip... Please note the size of "Antartica" on the BBC map at 40 seconds, and then look at the map behind Mr Darke😂 at 2.10... A September to Remember

[@banksiasong]

So this medical situation is urgent rather than an "emergency", so more likely a cancer or syndrome that has occurred while at Casey, rather than say a heart attack. An American doctor at the Antarctic did develop a cancer during one winter, and trained some of the trades people to do the biopsy. Not sure how they got the biopsy out, but the doctor was eventually medivacked out. Another American experiencing what turned out to be panic attacks was rescued by a New Zealand rescue mission. So not common, but medical rescues there do occur.

Please notice your conclusion issues from *a movie.*

[@rc-st9pg]

@@emaarredondo-librarian Well the US government has now admitted to researching aliens from outer space, so at this point the box has been opened. Besides, we now have AI systems running on quantum computers. And they can now read your mind from putting helmut on your head, and reading the waves coming off your brain. And as we are now seeing from researchers studying the mrna shots it seems we also have self assembling nanotechnology. So there is that.

[@emaarredondo-librarian]

@@rc-st9pg Sources? Other than social networks posts and anonymous blogs? The USA government is not researching aliens from outer space, but unexplained phenomena in our atmosphere, mostly for obvious security reasons. It is not the government admitting anything, but just a legislative committee making questions. A couple of pilots declared having seen interesting strange things - one guy told a lot of tall tales, presenting no evidence whatsoever. AI's exist, at the level of chat GPT and Google Assistant, fake videos and photos, chess player computers, but quantum computers are by no means a widely functioning thing. No IA running on a quantum computer yet; they do calculations. The ""mind reading helmet"" is a device allowing people who cannot speak to express themselves; it is still inaccurate and requires training. Let's say, it's a way people like Stephen Hawking don't have to painstakingly form their sentences choosing letters one by one from a screen. And, mrna vaccines don't contain self-assembling nanotechnology. Nanotechnology was used to create them, and they contain *nanoparticles,* which mean very, very small particles. In that view, every one of your cells have self-assembling nanoparticles. Genetic code, anyone? Seriously? Do you ever google anything? Any attempts to discern things, look for the words you don't know what they mean? Or you just jump to conclusions according to whatever you already believe at the moment, disregarding reality itself? Life is way more subtle, nuanced and complex than what conspiracy theories tell. Way better, less fearsome, much more wonderful. Learn some actual science. You'll be truly amazed. I suggest starting with the Crash Course channel, History of Science. And that's it.

[@rc-st9pg]

@@Wherethereisnodarkness The congressional testimony back in I believe June. We now have pentagon officials, and whistle-blowers all running around saying there are aliens from outter space while calling election fraud and the current ongoing medical genocide a conspiracy theory.

[@emaarredondo-librarian]

Why do you think that before Brexit other European countries were considering leaving the EU, and now not one does? It appears you have forgotten that Great Britain is not an Empire anymore. For centuries, you had cheap commodities and cheap labor from the colonies to support yourselves; not anymore. Now you depend on actual commerce to survive, because your small island cannot sustain your population by itself. You left your hatred and despise for your "inferiors" to dictate one of the stupidest moves in human history: isolation from a multilateral treaty that gave you multiple advantages. Welcome to a world where Britons have to form in the long line for foreigners in the whole of Europe - same as every importation and exportation must do, after jumping over all the new trade restrictions. Of course, as you own no business, you have no relation to anything travel, and you are not related to anything remotely educational, you have no clue about how you were grossly misled by your leaders. Now England is about to see Scotland's independence, Ireland's unification and even say goodbye to Wales, because those countries have everything to lose and nothing to win by remaining stuck to you and out of Europe. After that, what would be the reason to the existence of the Commonwealth? The British Empire has fallen, as so many others before it. Its remaining pridefulness has led to its next dissolution. You can eat your pride with bread, sausage and eggs; most of the other foodstuffs are imported. You don't believe it? Watch the Infographics Show channel's videos about Brexit, the Maximilien Robespierre channel, and basically every video about Brexit that is not Brexiteer propaganda. Have a nice hard landing.
