My partner Sam LeBarron just got his article, Mount Whitney, High
Altittude triggers crisis, published in the February 1994 issue of the
Mountaineer magazine from Seattle Washington. He was describing how
anemia can lead to serious complications at high altitude. Our party was
approaching Mount Whitney cross country when I got seriously ill at 12,000
feet, after three days above 10,000 feet. This was a surprise to all of
us, experienced Mountaineers because I had no previous problems with peaks
above 12,000 feet. I had to be helicoptered out and spent four days in
Fresno Valley Medical Center (two days in intensive care) with both HAPE
and HACE. I was diagnosed as being extremely anemic. This taught me a
good lesson about women as mountaineers. We often neglect warning signs
of disorder because we assume that if we just get in better shape, we can
do anything. In my case, I had been bleeding heavily during menstrual
cycles due to fibroids for several years and just considered it a
nuisance. My partner noticed that I was not getting up mountains as
rapidly as before and he did suspect anemia. Before we began the Mount
Whitney trek, I was very HAPPY AND RELIEVED that my period had started and
that I would not be bothered with heavy menstrual bleeding. Never did I
guess that this would directly relate to my not receiving enough oxygen at
high altitude. You might consider putting in a section about women
climbers and the different kinds of problems that they face. I think we
are too macho to want to admit to any weakness. I'll be happy to send the
article to you if you send me your fax number. The article goes into
details about respiration rate, heart rate and the rescue efforts. My
e-mail address is ychen@spl.lib.wa.us

By the way, in writing his article, Sam LeBarron got a lot of information
from your last article in Scientific American ( which was the only decent
magazine that he could buy at the hospital gift shop when I was in
intensive care). WHAT A COINCIDENCE!
