we don't know his condition. they say it is stable. how complicated is it to rescue someone from the south pole? >> it's extremely complicated. i did this a couple times when i was stationed at the south pole with the air force. what essentially happens is you're at mcmurdo, on the coast, sea level. most people don't realize the south pole is above 9,000 feet in altitude. when people get there, number one, there's not a whole lot of f facilities, a lot lot of medical condition. most of the evacuations i did were because of high altitude pulmonary edema, the same thing mountain climbers get. they take them to new zealand, which seems to be what happened here. >> thank you very much. yes just know john kerry was just down there, the secretary of state, the first to visit the south pole. it is a very difficult challenge, especially for someone of his age. thank you, doctor. coming up next, bernie
