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.
It was not the first time that Dr Kamphee participated in HHE. He was with the group several years ago and published a book in 2014 about HHE titled Himalai Tong Chai Hu Fung (Himalayan Health Exchange I). In Himalayan Health Exchange II, Dr Kamphee worked with healthcare professionals at 15 clinics and examined 2,736 patients.
