I was watching trust me I'm a doctor yesterday and there was a bit on how to spot and help someone suffering from heat exhaustion. I thought it would be a good one to share.

Great post RFC, just what we need to know at the moment. Any chance you can put it in the pinned posts for a couple of weeks? x

I watched this too.. so easy to miss, and so easy to get... had a small dose myself, this year...husband more so.. a few years back. Quite terrifying.

Thank you for this :)

Yes I thought that was good. It was in my mind trying to get round that Olympic park yesterday.
