It’s not even May yet, and Dr. Susan Anderson of Woodside has already traveled around the world twice this year.

Yes, twice. In January and February, Dr. Anderson served as physician and lecturer on a National Geographic Society expedition by private jet to the world’s “Seven Continents.” On April 6, she returned from a similar Smithsonian round-the-world tour of “Extraordinary Cultures,” where she also served as physician to some 70 partici-pants, plus the expedition staff, and the crew of the 757 plane they traveled in. “It’s a big responsibility. I’m always busy,” says Dr. Anderson in an interview crammed between the demands of her day jobs at Stanford and the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. On the last tour, the Smithsonian group immersed themselves in more than a dozen cultural centers from Machu Picchu and Easter Island, to Papua New Guinea, Angkor Wat, Petra, and Timbuktu.

One of the high points was din-ner with the queen of Bhutan, Dr. Anderson recalls. Actually she is one of four queens, sisters who all married the king. Also in Bhutan, Dr. Anderson, a marathon runner, took time out to run up to Tiger’s Nest, a Buddhist monastery on top of a nearby mountain. “That’s how I get exercise. I get up at 4 a.m. and go running,” she says. “I get to see areas wake up. That’s my private

time to explore.” Another high point came a couple of days earlier, when the famed Khmer temple at Angkor Wat was opened up for a special dinner and dance performance for tour members. Sitting among the dramatically lit towers, they enjoyed costumed performances of dances, songs and martial arts. “That was over the top,” recalls Dr. Anderson. Dr. Anderson brings enormous

energy and zest to her life and travels. She has traveled to more than 150 countries on some 15 tours, visiting some of them 10 times or more, she says. “Each time is different. Every place has a highlight.” When she’s home, Dr. Ander-son appears to lead an equally full life. She’s an adjunct clinical assistant professor in the Division

of Infectious Disease and Geo-graphic Medicine at the Stanford School of Medicine; and practices travel medicine and emergency medicine at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. She is also a con-sultant in travel, tropical, and wilderness medicine, and lectures and publishes widely. Working as tour physician, Dr. Anderson has also amassed a huge range of experience serv-ing large numbers of individuals in remote and exotic conditions over the world. “With 70 pas-sengers, I get to see how people respond to altitude or diarrhea or environment,” Dr. Anderson says. “It can be anything from simple to complex. It’s a whole new specialty.” As a result, Dr. Anderson is a leader in the movement that has established travel medicine as an official medical specialty with exams and certification. On the home front, Dr. Ander-son gets up close to 4 a.m. most mornings to run. She loves the trails on Windy Hill, near what

she calls her “Woodside Tree House” that she bought on Sky-line. She often runs the trails in the dark with a headlamp, or by moonlight. “It’s like therapy,” she says. “One of my goals is to keep peo-ple traveling until they’re 100.”

Fulfilling dreams Growing up near Boston, Dr. Anderson always wanted to be a doctor. “I always wanted to save the world,” she says. She’s been on that track ever since. She put herself through Yale Medical School, and moved to Stanford for her residency and work toward a Ph.D. in public health.. At Stanford, she talked the university into supporting her in research projects around the world. Doing a thesis in Nepal “changed my life,” she says. While Dr. Anderson worked to develop a DNA probe to diagnose trachoma, an eye infection that can cause blindness, she also lived in villages and worked in Tibetan refugee camps. Through the Himalayan Rescue Associa-tion, she helped treat trekkers and

locals who were sick from altitude and a range of maladies. “In addition, I followed my passion. I ran to the Everest base camp, and the Annapurna base camp,” Dr. Anderson says. “I learned about altitude first hand. I went too fast.” Dr. Anderson also spent time doing research and working with local doctors in Zimbabwe, Indo-nesia, and Ecuador, where she studied screening for women’s cervical cancer. She taught a course in travel and wilderness medicine for physicians while hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. “I remember running in the Andes, and starting to speak Nepalese, by mistake,” she admits. About 10 years ago, Dr. Ander-son was invited by TCS Expedi-tions to join their staff as a physician and guest lecturer on tropical medicine. The company organizes expeditions by private jet that are sponsored by leading universities and scientific orga-nizations, such as Stanford, Har-vard, the National Geographic

Tips for healthy travel

DR. SUSAN ANDERSON OF WOODSIDE, a travel physician, recommends the following tips for people planning major trips.

■ Do your homework. Check out the Centers for Disease Control Web site (www.cdc.gov/travel) for recommendations about locations you will be visiting.

■ Make an appointment with a travel specialist for a pre-travel consultation. Consider seeing a travel physician or nurse before traveling. (cdc.gov/travel/contentSeeDoctor.aspx) Get prescriptions for medications you may need.

■ Check your vaccination status. Make sure all your routine vaccinations are up to date. Check to see if any particular vaccinations are required and/or recommended based on your itinerary and/or activities. For example, certain areas require vaccinations for yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, hepatitis A, and typhoid. Vaccination for rabies may be called for where there is significant danger of animal bites.

■ Wash your hands. Get a good supply of anti-bacterial hand gel, and use it frequently. Attach a supply to your belt or waist pouch.

■ Watch what you eat and drink, and where you swim. Almost everyone gets traveler’s diarrhea, so you need to be prepared. Wash your hands at every opportunity, and pack in your medical kit medications for diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.

■ While traveling, eat food that is freshly prepared and cooked; peel your own fruits; drink water that is boiled, bottled or carbonated; and avoid ice.

■ Avoid insects. Use personal protection measures to prevent insect bites, including an insect repellant on your skin such as DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) in concentrations of 30 to 50 percent. If you are an “insect magnet” it is also important to use a permethin-containing product to treat your clothes, hats, bednets, camping or other gear

to prevent insect bites. Depending on the product, it will last many washings. Obtain malaria chemoprophylaxis if indicated for travel to a particular areas. There are a number of options. It is important to talk to a clinician with some expertise in this area.

■ Assemble a personal travel medicine kit. This should include prescriptions for medications for diarrhea, malaria, altitude sickness if indicated, and EpiPens for people with a history of allergic reactions. Over-the counter remedies should include sunscreen, cold remedies, pain medication (alcohol, aspirin, Tylenol or ibuprofen), anti-diarrhea medication such as loperamide; antibacterial and anti-fungal creams; hydrocortisone cream for itchy rash. Also bring first-aid remedies to treat wounds, such as bandages, Steri-Strips and Ace Wraps.

■ Check your medical insurance coverage to find out what is covered during travel. Consider purchasing additional medical and evacuation insurance, if needed. The CDC and Department of State Web sites provide additional information.

■ Post-travel illness. If you develop a fever or unusual symptoms after you return home, it is important to be evaluated by a physician, and review your travel history. Be alert for swine flu.

Society, the Smithsonian, and the American Museum of Natu-ral History. Since then, Dr. Anderson has accompanied some 15 expedi-tions to some of the most glam-orous and exotic spots on earth. And she loves it. “This mixes my love of travel and exploring with medicine,” she says. “We’re trying to make a difference.”

Bridging cultures Dr. Anderson pursues at least two missions in her travel expeditions. First is to keep her guests and crew healthy and deal with the medical problems that inevitably arise. Second, Dr. Anderson tries to engage her clients with the cultures they are visiting. “I like to design a curriculum around dance and music,” she says.

“Dance and music are good for health.” Dr. Anderson does frequent rounds on flights and at meals to meet participants and get their baseline medical informa-tion. She also gives lectures with advice on cleanliness, eating and drinking, plus frequent problems such as sun and altitude or colds, infections and diarrhea. “We try to prevent them before they become too serious,” she says. When people fall and hurt themselves, or other problems develop, Dr. Anderson knows how to marshal local resourc-es, and evacuate if necessary. “I usually partner with the patient,” she says. “We figure what the options are and make a choice.” On her most recent trip, Dr. Anderson discovered the power of dance to build bridges between cultures. “Maybe because I’m blond, I always get picked out (by natives) to dance,” she says. Now she tries to involve everyone in music and dance as ways to con-nect with locals. “We tried to learn a new dance on every continent,” Dr. Ander-son says. “We get local people to teach. If we each learn a dance step, it’s a way to get exercise and learn culture.” Dr. Anderson also tries to arrange visits to local schools and interact with children. In Petra, Jordan, where boys and girls are educated separately, she says that girls particularly want to talk and practice their English. In her years with tours, Dr. Anderson has had adventures as exotic as the places she has visited. She recalls when their airplane froze in Mongolia and wouldn’t work. “We had to get out little hair dryers to unfreeze the plane,” she says. Or the huge sandstorm they encountered coming into Petra the first time. “It gave me a whole new way to see the desert.” Or the time she was running in the Gobi Desert and encoun-tered a dog. “I outran the dog,” she says. What is Dr. Anderson’s next travel adventure? Another National Geographic expedition to the seven conti-nents is in the planning stages for later this year or next, Dr. Anderson says. She may also join friends on a trip to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. “I would love to do that,” she says. A

Let’s Ask Ann . . .Dear Ann, a super agent...

Our home is listed for sale and our agent has a buyer for the property. Is it legal for her to be both the sellers and buyers agent?Thanks, Robert & Jean

Dear Robert & Jean, Absolutely! An agent may act as both the listing and

selling agent provided the agent has made a disclosure and the principals have given their consent. Certain conditions apply in the agreement: 1. The agent will not disclose to the seller what the buyer is willing to pay. 2. The agent will not disclose to the buyer what price the seller is willing to sell their house for.

All the best,Ann Griffiths
