Heatstroke can sneak up on you....................
Oh yes, I am always aware of heat strokes having played lots of golf after age 60. I take plenty of breaks during mowing to hydrate and cool off. In 15 years of playing golf in WA state, I actually passed out from heat exhaustion AFTER finishing round of 18 on hilly Jackson Park golf course in Seattle. But regained consciousness as soon as I was on the floor in the golf course restaurant. Of course the the golf course people called an ambulance and shipped me to the nearby hospital. When I get to the hospital there was no opening in any rooms so they left me on a stretcher in the hallway. I kept asking for water and the nurse kept telling me no water before the doctor sees you. To make long story short, my wife drove up to the hospital and gave me water to drink. I threatened the hospital with a law suit for depriving me drinking water when I was obviously dehydrated. The hospital wrote off my bill and promised me they will improve their procedure to handle dehydrated patients.
