                    [Summary] => Doctors yesterday amputated the toes of adventure sportsman Dale Abenojar and 21-year-old Nepali Sherpa Pasang Dorchi Sherpa, who helped him reach the summit of Mount Everest last May 15.


Their gangrene-infected toes were amputated at the Cardinal Santos Memorial Medical Center in San Juan to prevent infection which could have threatened their lives.


Abenojar lost his left big toe while nine of Pasang’s toes were amputated.


Vascular surgeon Dr. Ricky Quintos first examined their toes to determine how deep orthopedic surgeon Dr. Edgar Eufemio should cut.

                    [Summary] => An attending physician treating Dale Abenojar and his 21-year-old Nepali guide Pasang Dorchi Sherpa lambasted Dr. Ted Esguerra of the First Philippine Mount Everest Expedition (FPMEE) yesterday for accusing his patients of faking their injuries to support their claim that Abenojar reached the summit of Mount Everest ahead of celebrated climbers Leo Oracion and Erwin "Pastour" Emata.


Esguerra had expressed skepticism that Abenojar managed to scale Everest despite a gangrene infection in his left big toe caused by frostbite.
