Seribu Riam - 'Land of a Thousand Rapids' with Jonah Morgan

Jonah is a 5th Year Medical student at the University of Dundee. Jonah has been whitewater kayaking since he was 12. This passion recently took Jonah as part of the British University Kayak Expedition team to Central Kalimantan, Borneo. This 6 week expedition focused on descending unexplored sections of whitewater deep within the rainforest. The team had to be totally self-sufficient and with no support team everything had to fit in the back of a kayak. Jonah discusses the challenges of delivering medical care not only as a medical student, but with a first aid kit small enough to fit in the back of a boat. All the while navigating grade V rapids, flashfloods and dealing with unfriendly locals. He chatted to Deb Swann about planning and executing an expedition as a medical student.
