I’ve Fallen Over and I Can’t Get Up: Part I—"Children Playing in The
Heat" Questions
What signs and symptoms did Greg exhibit when he was in the house?
Greg felt dizzy and thirsty, and when he tried to sit up he felt worse.
Was Mrs. Myron correct when she said that Greg was dehydrated? Which signs and
symptoms are consistent with this notion? Mrs. Myron thought that it was not
necessary to seek medical treatment. Do you think she was correct?
Greg may have been a little dehydrated, but most likely not enough to cause him to pass out.
Dizziness and thirst are symptoms of dehydration but unconsciouness is typically only on
extreme symptoms like fever , extreme thirst, headache, rapid heart rate and rapid breathing.
She should have gone to the doctor to find out what was going on after the first episode.
I’ve Fallen Over and I Can’t Get Up: Part II—"The High School Football
Game" Questions
What were Greg’s signs and symptoms before the game and during the warm up? Can
you think of any reasons why Greg exhibited these signs and symptoms?
Greg was fatigued, dizzy, sweating, and unsteady and did not have an appetite.Greg
experienced some of these symptoms because of his condition that he was unaware of,and he
was ignoring the signs.
Greg is taken to the hospital after being injured during the game. What problems do
you think the physicians will find with Greg when they examine him, or do you think he
is only suffering from dehydration?
Due to the weather conditions, I believe that Greg could have been a little bit dehydrated, but
these symptoms were not caused by dehydration alone. The doctors may find issues with his
blood pressure and /or his nervous system.
