Aired (May 11, 2024): Sa kuhang video ng isang pasahero, isang matandang lalaki ang nawalan ng malay at tila na-heat stroke sa loob ng pampasaherong bus! Ano-ano nga ba ang mga dapat gawin para makaiwas sa mga sakit dahil sa tindi ng init ng panahon? Ang buong detalye, panoorin sa video na ito.
00:00The passengers of this bus that was traveling to Poplacion, Tacurong City in the province of Cotabato were shocked when one of the passengers suddenly screamed.
00:20When my father was attacked, he suddenly screamed.
00:25One of the passengers, a passenger and a teacher named Verna Lin, passed away.
00:30The man was not with him.
00:32That's why the passengers were remembering each other.
00:36I told my colleagues that if possible, bring my father to the health center.
00:43But at that time, we were still in the province of San Felipe.
00:47So our health center was still far away.
00:51At that time, the man became weak and lost consciousness.
00:55They thought that my father had a heat stroke.
00:58That's why the driver directed the bus to the nearest hospital.
01:03Fortunately, there was a passenger who thought that if we bring my father to the health center,
01:11he will surely bring my father to the hospital.
01:17While going to the nearest hospital, the other passengers in the bus helped him to be saved.
01:23While Verna Lin called on social media for the man's family.
01:35When we talked to the bus driver to bring him to the nearest hospital where the incident took place,
01:41I immediately got off the bus and went inside the hospital.
01:46I told the guard that it was an emergency and they immediately took action.
01:51They got a spine board to bring my father inside the bus.
01:56On the bus, they brought him inside.
02:05Verna Lin was very thankful when the patient's family arrived.
02:09According to what she heard from the doctor,
02:11it was possible because of the intense heat that my father experienced.
02:15He was able to breathe easily when he found out that he was saved.
02:19When my father was being brought inside the bus,
02:23I saw that his hands were moving.
02:27I felt like I was touched and I thanked God from the bottom of my heart.
02:33The patient's family refused to be interviewed.
02:36But the video that Verna Lin took was shown to a general medicine doctor.
02:41Given the symptoms that I saw in the video,
02:46the clinical presentation that my father had,
02:50it is possible that the cause was a heat stroke.
02:53It is possible that he had a previous experience
02:56and the heat was just a predisposing factor to cause a stroke.
03:02A heat stroke is a condition where the body temperature rises
03:07and drops to 40 degrees Celsius.
03:10It is possible to get exposure to hot places.
03:14What happens is that there is vasoconstriction
03:17or the blood vessels in our body contract.
03:21This is the reason why people with a heat stroke
03:24experience headaches and muscle cramping.
03:29In a long exposure to heat,
03:31the first thing that happens is the aggravating factor.
03:34The first aggravating factor is dehydration.
03:38It is possible that my father was dehydrated,
03:41which is the aggravating factor
03:43to cause a heat-related illness such as a heat stroke.
03:47In addition, one of the symptoms of a heat stroke that needs to be monitored
03:51is the rapid heart rate and breathing of the patient.
03:55The worst-case scenario is that the patient's mental sensorium degrades.
03:59It means that he can no longer understand.
04:03According to the expert,
04:05there is no age limit for a heat stroke,
04:07just like this viral post
04:09where a 6-month-old baby was brought back to life
04:13because of a heat stroke.
04:16Heat stroke is prone to the extreme of ages.
04:20When I say the extreme of ages,
04:22it is the elderly,
04:23because children are more prone to dehydration
04:26because their fluid intake is less.
04:29That is why it is important to know what to do
04:32to avoid getting sick this summer season.
04:35So, Kapuso, what are you doing this hot summer?
04:41To find out,
04:42we are here with our local nurse,
04:45Nurse Abby, on duty for PinoyMD.
04:49Yes, Kapuso.
04:50We are not going to the beach.
04:52We are not going to swim
04:54because we are here in Quezon City.
04:57And because it is so hot today,
04:59our mission is to avoid a heat stroke.
05:03That is why we are going to find out
05:05the perfect way for our countrymen to cool down
05:08now that the heat is increasing.
05:10I noticed that you are here in the dark, right?
05:12It's good that there are a lot of people here in the C-Room.
05:15Yes.
05:16Why are you here?
05:18Here in the dark, the heat is passing by.
05:22We are here to rest.
05:25What are we doing
05:26to reduce the heat of the weather?
05:28Here, water.
05:29There, very good.
05:31Just water.
05:32That's right.
05:33How many liters of water do you drink in a day?
05:36Maybe two liters.
05:38Hello, sir.
05:39Could you please tell me
05:42what we are doing
05:44to reduce the heat?
05:47This.
05:48This is a hand fan.
05:49I always bring a hand fan
05:50so that no matter what happens,
05:52there will be no heat.
05:53Sir!
05:54Sir!
05:55Is it okay if I serve you now?
05:57Can we ask
05:58what you are doing
05:59to reduce the heat of the weather?
06:01I don't care if it's hot.
06:02I just need to drink water.
06:04Do you drink this much water, sir?
06:07As you can see,
06:08this is a lot of water, sir.
06:10And this is very, very good
06:11especially that the weather is very hot now, guys.
