A physician is one of the most respected careers, but like others, they also face difficulties. In a new book titled Himalai Tong Klub Pai Fung (Himalayan Health Exchange II) published by Salmon Books, Dr Kamphee Sruamsiri, a freelance emergency physician, wrote about his identity crisis which led him to participate in the Himalayan Health Exchange (HHE), a medical service that brings international healthcare professionals and students to treat people who live in remote areas of the Indian Himalayas and Indo-Tibetan borderlands.
