Episode: Too Much Fun
City: Portland, Ore.
Hospital: Legacy Emanuel Hospital
Doctor Profile: Dr. Everett Lam

In a remote ravine off Mount Saint Helens, a 42-year-old man was enjoying his snowmobile. That is, until he flew off a 20-foot cliff and landed on the snowmobile's windshield. He was stranded in the snow for hours before someone could find help. Now it's up to Dr. Lam and his staff to make the man's endless wait for a rescue worthwhile.
