[wanabidii] Two Toronto doctors rescue stranded 6-year-old boy on Mt. Kilimanjaro

Two Toronto doctors scaling Mt. Kilimanjaro with 13 others are being hailed as heroes after 
attending to a 6-year-old boy stranded 13,000 feet up the mountain. 
Howard Ovens and Bjug Borgundvaag, both emergency room physicians at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada, 
helped revive a 6-year-old boy who was found wandering alone, clothes tattered and stomach empty, after two days 
on Africa's highest peak.
"We're all travelling around here and this little boy is walking around in a pair of torn pants with open-toed sandals 
and a sweatshirt over a t-shirt," said David Cynamon, the lead climber. "He was very cold."
