They cant blame this on the heat..people get heat exhaustion absolutely, but they dont look STIFF like that..they get overheated, someone fans them, gives them water, sits them on the floor to help them get better..not like this..this isnt from the heat, she looks like someone already dead and they are dragging her lifeless body into the van
Plus I read it was only 78 degrees at the time in NYC. Hardly enough to cause heat stroke.
Yeah I checked the weather sites and it was 80F to 82F not long ago and this happened hours earlier so it was cooler than that at the time. Who collapses from the heat in less than 80F weather?
It was reported it was not a hot day there. It was pleasant weather.
I believe heat stroke is more significant that heat prostration.
My experience as a military medic was 30+ years ago, so I’m very reluctant to make any kind of call on Hillary’s episode. But later in my career, I was an ROTC instructor and supervised summer training for cadets at two encampments in Texas, both at Lackland AFB in San Antonio.
As you might expect, we had problems with cadets passing out in the heat, usually during parade. So, we went to great lengths to keep them properly hydrated and told them to never lock their knees, and if they felt faint, to sit down immediately. We also learned to recognize some of the signs of heat stress and heat stroke and pulled them out if we thought they were about to pass out.
Unfortunately, it was difficult to recognize some of those signs when the affected individual was in the middle of a 300-member parade. And, as I recall, most of the cadets went down quickly, as do other victims of heat stress and heat stroke. You might see them sway briefly, then they would go down like a ton of bricks. Our standard protocol called for medics to be present at outdoor training events when the temp reached a certain level. Fortunately, we only had a few cadets fall out during our six-week program and in most cases, it was because they locked their knees at the position of attention.
What I saw on the videotape of HRC didn’t look like a heat stress or heat stroke episode. And if it was heat-related, I don’t think she’d be up and about as quickly as she was. Of course, her handlers understand the campaign is on the line and I’m sure her personal physician has been instructed to give her anything, medication wise, to get her back on her feet.
I would welcome insights from physicians on this board who have reviewed the video.

The press is lying about the heat.
