FIrst Aid: Fainting
Mayo Clinic ^

Posted on 09/12/2016 12:12:06 PM PDT by MNDude

Position the person on his or her back. If the person is breathing, restore blood flow to the brain by raising the person's legs above heart level — about 12 inches (30 centimeters) — if possible.

Loosen belts, collars or other constrictive clothing. To reduce the chance of fainting again, don't get the person up too quickly. If the person doesn't regain consciousness within one minute, call 911 or your local emergency number.

Check the person's airway to be sure it's clear. Watch for vomiting.

Check for signs of circulation (breathing, coughing or movement). If absent, begin CPR.

Call 911 or your local emergency number. Continue CPR until help arrives or the person responds and begins to breathe.

No, this is all wrong.

You’re supposed to grab their arms and drag them into your van for a trip to somebody’s lavish digs.

No, no, no!

Prop up against a concrete bollard. UNDER NO CONDITIONS sit down with head lowered between knees. And for Heaven's sake, don't lie down and elevate the legs.

Regards,

Yep.

And if heat is a concern, you start to immediately cool the person down.

They leaned her against a post like she was an old board.

No sense of urgency.

Just like they were expecting her to lock up.

There are so many problems with what we see in the video and what one might hope to be normal first aid or just common sense. The video, from the back, is cringe-worthy. And I see on Twitter claims that it was a Clinton body-double that exited Chelsie’s apartment. And some pictures show different clothes, jewelry, etc. Yep, lots of questions.

No, no, no. Proper protocol for overheating is a system flush and new coolant. She needs a proper bleeding like they did in days of yore.

OMG, I wasn’t making the connection with this post at first, which made the sudden realization all the more entertaining!

Hillary never fainted. She was in a Parkinson’s freeze. She went down because they dropped her, not because she fainted. The SS were desperate to get her out of the open, which is why they dragged her.

This is a bit hard for me to write, since I was the sole caregiver to my late husband throughout his battle with Parkinson’s.

Most do not realize how critical it is to keep a strict eating schedule with the meds (L-Dopa, particularly). They should be taken at least 1 hour before eating, and 2 hours after eating, to be sure they are properly absorbed into the system.

If these are not absorbed, there will be a flare up of the symptoms.

Also, the slightest infection can interfere with the body’s ability to utilize the meds. Even a bad case of constipation, common in Parkinson’s, can wreak havoc, as it did in my husband, causing loss of muscular control/inability to walk or move.

I have no idea whether HRC has Parkinson’s or something else with similar symptoms. But, the possibility of Lew Body disease cannot be ruled out either, which is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s, as it has some similar symptoms, but also causes a type of dementia that is progressive.

None of us can know for sure if PD is the cause of her problems, but since it is a progressive disease, we will eventually figure it out.

No, step aside until the house falls on the victim, and their feet curl up.

Then give them an ice-bucket challenge, wait for the smoke to clear, grab the broomstick..."make like a tree, and get outta there!"

They treated her like a gang treats a fellow wounded bank robber.

I thought it was appropriate.

Be carful, they’d be dealing with a system that’s nearly 69-years old.

Rust may be the only thing holding it together at this point.
