yall Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 You should never give fliuds to people in shock. (Let me be more clear... you should not let them drink) However given the circumstances it would have been ok to do so, because heat stroke/exhaustion may have been the problem, in which case fluids are good. Edit: Few peeps beat me to it, but all in all, it sounds like you used good judgement. These types of "rules" for treatment need to be applied with a dose of common sense.
Dwight Drane Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 The juice made sense because she could have been having a hypoglycemic reaction which would give the same symptoms. Especially if she had been up there standing and cooking for a while. If the shock was that bad, she'd just throw it back up on you. Between a ruptured cyst and blood-pressure meds, that could get you in trouble.
