That’s not the way refrigerators... heat stroke... the human body...
That’s not the way ANYTHING works!
Actually, if he had put the baby in the fridge while dialing 9/11 (and not closed the door) that might not have been a bad idea...when you come in with heat stroke, you are likely going to be surrounded with ice packs and have chilled saline run into your body.
But it doesn’t sound like that is what this person did. For all we know, he might have put the child in there for an hour.
Point is, chilling is a good thing in this case, but only if you are not delaying medical care.
