BTW

It's amazing how virtullay everybody outside the medical world (such as lay 
persons) and many inside it (such as EMTS') don't understand that heat 
stroke is a true medical emergency. I think that holywood, with its reknown 
scene you see in every third movie of someone lost in desert, starting to 
get delrious then crashes, later to be "saved" with a few drops of water, 
has much to do with it.
