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.
06:14And as you can see,
06:15it has a cloth
06:18to protect our skin.
06:20Kapuso,
06:21we got a hand fan
06:23on how to reduce the heat
06:25of the summer season.
06:27But the question is,
06:28what can you do
06:30to help
06:31if you see someone
06:33who has a heatstroke?
06:34Let's find out
06:35from Dr. Jessa.
06:38First of all,
06:39is to call for help.
06:40That's the first thing you need to do.
06:42There are people
06:43who call for help
06:44to be brought to the nearest
06:46hospital or medical center.
06:48Second,
06:49we need to put it
06:50in a cooler place.
06:52Third,
06:53you need to check
06:54if it's still responsive,
06:55if it's still moving,
06:56if it's still recognizing,
06:58if it's still moving its hands.
07:01If the patient can still talk,
07:03let them drink water
07:05to replenish
07:06and replace
07:07the body's fluid loss.
07:09The next thing you need to do
07:10is to remove the clothing.
07:12Lastly,
07:13you need to wipe it
07:14with cold water
07:16to lower
07:17the body's temperature.
07:19But if the patient
07:20loses consciousness
07:21and the blood pressure
07:22drops,
07:23this is what Dr. Jessa says.
07:25We can also raise
07:27the patient's legs
07:28because
07:29if there is dehydration,
07:31most likely,
07:32there will be hypotension.
07:33The help that
07:34elevating the legs can do
07:36is to raise
07:37the patient's blood pressure.
07:40Ah!
07:41So, my dears,
07:42you already know.
07:43It's good that we know
07:44so that we're always ready
07:46in case someone needs help.
07:48And to avoid a heatstroke,
07:50here are Dr. Jessa's tips.
07:53First,
07:54restrict physical activities.
07:56I mean,
07:57if there are things
07:58that we want to do,
08:00if we can do it
08:01on a later day,
08:02for example,
08:03if you plan to exercise,
08:04why not do it
08:05around 6 to 7 p.m.
08:07where it's not hot anymore.
08:09Second,
08:10drink lots of fluid,
08:11especially water,
08:132 to 2.5 liters of water a day.
08:16If there's nothing important
08:17to do outside,
08:18it's better
08:19to stay inside
08:20your homes.
08:22One of the articles
08:23that I have read
08:24helps in wearing
08:25breathable clothing
08:27or light-colored clothing
08:29like cotton,
08:30anything that is pastel,
08:32not dark-colored clothing.
08:34It can help
08:35in reducing
08:36body heat.
08:39Meanwhile,
08:40good news.
08:41Because in the last update,
08:42a man in a good condition
08:44appeared in a viral video.
08:46Bernaline is happy
08:47that she can help
08:48the elderly
08:49in times of danger.
08:51Helping others
08:52is not only
08:53if we are rich
08:54or have money.
08:55We can also
08:56help others
08:57by taking care
08:58of them
08:59in times
09:00of need.
09:04This summer season,
09:05beat the heat!
09:06Not only in cooling,
09:08but also to ensure
09:09that we are safe
09:10from diseases
