## Resource

A Montana nurse named David Cifaldi survived a freak hiking accident when his trekking pole impaled his side on Granite Peak—thanks to his medical training, he stayed calm, assessed his injury, and even warned other hikers to avoid the scene. His friends called for help, but since he was stable, they hiked down instead of waiting for a helicopter. Doctors later removed the pole with a clever medical drain technique. Now recovering and feeling lucky, David and his crew are already plotting their next climb—just maybe without the pointy sticks.
