I don’t think so. Gurneying him was probably a very good idea. He was drinking a lot of water, and not urinating, so water intoxication is one possibility.

And lactic acid buildup (from climbing) is another possibility. Potentially life-threatening because it can also affect the heart. Lower blood ph, lowered ability to absorb oxygen, thirst that cannot be relieved with water, muscle weakness and fatigue, irregular heartbeat, circulatory shock follows.

The good news is he’s young and fit, so he may pull thru just fine.

I'm not sure, but this might just be the biggest load of crap I've ever read on the entire internet.
Replying is therefore problematic - do I get angry at the casual insolence and utter intellectual contempt and disrespect, or do I laugh at the ridiculous absurdities being proffered as factual knowledge, or do I point out the frightening historical similarities with the Soviet Union and Communist China bundling up political protestors in insane asylums?
How about this: go to hell.
