Life is like a mountain you climb defying all odds to reach the top. Dr Wade Brackenbury however takes this proverb literally as an avid mountaineer, doctor and author. Having sustained a sports injury at a young age and struggled with dyslexia, he dedicated himself to medicine to help others and is now the director of the American Chiropractic Clinic in Vietnam. He shares with us his amazing story of perseverance and anecdotes from his book, Yak Butter and Black Tea, about tackling life headstrong as an adventure.
