Prologue : My BMC at ABVIMAS July 2015 – 1

(Originally intended to be published in September 2015!)

Its now been a month and a half since I completed the course that has been a distant dream to me ever since I can remember. To give you a better perspective, my love for the mountains goes back more than two decades, probably back when I was turning into a rebellious “eigh”-teenager (yep I was 18) looking for something to take me away from…

ONGC raised me to live and make live: Dr Nitin Chawla on doctoring ONGC Everest Mission

“Since the ONGC team needed a medical doctor who could support the expedition, I got selected in the team”, recalls a shy-yet-smart Dr Nitin Chawla, a member of the victorious ONGC team which summited Mount Everest in May this year.

This hardcore doctor stands firmly by his Hippocratic Oath as he decided to embark on the ONGC Mission Everest, safeguarding the lives of his team mates. For Dr. Nitin Chawla, the real adventure commenced when over sixty selected ONGCians arrived in Dehradun to undergo a 20-km Koti-Bhadraj-Haathipaun Test trek. Considering the safety of participants, the senior doctors asked him to accompany the team to provide medical aid if needed.

His being a fitness enthusiast since his medical education aided him a lot in the strenuous training schedule that required them to start at 0530 hours and go for a 5 km jog followed by aerobics and stretching exercises. This strenuous regimen primed him and his team mates for the expedition, recalls the doctor. After an early breakfast, there were sessions like rock climbing, jummaring, rapelling and hiking, etc. Post-noon, it was theory and practical training followed by an obstacle race of 3-10 laps around the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Mountaineering and Allied Sports (ABVIMAS) campus. The movie-enthusiast says that the way this training transformed the ONGCians and enthused them with a never-before-confidence, it was nothing less than a Bollywood thriller.

He recounts with excitement, 2 of his patients; A Japanese climber named Thai from Tokyo who had developed severe mountain sickness but had to descend down for his safety. Another patient was a Sherpa who gifted him a rock from the top of the Everest for receiving Nitin’s timely medical aid. “We developed a special relationship with the Sherpas, which was a significant part of the expedition”.

4 REASONS FOR HIS SUCCESS

Wonderful training cum selection plan by ONGC and IMF

Best climbing gears provided by ONGC

Well trained Sherpas and adequate oxygen supply support provided by Asian trekking

Favourable weather conditions

But the most thrilling experience for him so far was crossing Khumbu icefall. “Crossing those 100-150 metre crevasses with the ladders gave me goosebumps and made me feel how close one is to death.”

Backed by supportive and enthusiastic family, he owes his success to the blessings of his parents and good wishes of his wife, daughter and brother.

“When one sees such huge mountains standing tall with all humility, one’s own problems seem frivolous.” The entire experience humbled Dr. Chawla who took this time of solitude to introspect his life and become a self confident man.

Nitin engrossed in examining a Sherpa during the Everest Expedition

Nitin wants more medical doctors to join such expeditions. He considers physical fitness and mental resilience as two important benchmarks for it. He also advises body training in gym with cardio and weight training exercises especially for core muscles. Also some yoga or meditation will go a long way to help survive the wilderness.

Now that is someone truly insurmountable!
