Dr. G breaks down the true story of Aaron Ralston in 127 Hours, explaining the crush injury, self-amputation, dehydration, and the neurobiology and psychology that drove his survival. This episode covers the medical consequences (compartment syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury), the improvised amputation and rescue, and practical survival lessons: leave an itinerary, carry communication, and never give up.
