Dan Martin is an extreme environment physiologist and anaesthetist at University College London Hospitals, and a member of the Caudwell Xtreme Everest research group. He talks to the Wellcome Trust's Daniel Glaser about dropping his trousers at the top of a mountain in the name of medical science, and how this unorthodox experiment could lead to more effective treatment for intensive care patients.

This packed lunch event was recorded live on 13 November 2009 at Wellcome Collection.
