Was she in general poor health? Was she obese? Diabetic?
It doesn’t really matter at 117 degrees. I believe her brain stopped peak functioning and she was ignoring her body crying for help, just wanting to get done with her shift, and she started to shut down, at which point she may have “slipped away” in a state of semi consciousness. I really had a great lack of brain functioning when I was out in it. I couldn’t focus. And I am in good health.
