Thank you for this article-it explained/confirmed many things to me that my NY doctors could not. I had extreme heat stroke in Aug 2022, i had a vigorous stress test on a 95F day,
went home and my a/c failed. I was home alone in and out of comas for a
week, could not make calls, until I was found and hospitalized for a week and returned home. There is no info re this, as I was informed no one survives to study.(from Nat research library, D.C.)
I searched the net and found no info. I understand health, nutrition etc very well and slowly recovered- slept a lot, then started progressive exercises, many nutrition supplements etc, also mental exercise. I am completely well now, but only recently. I’m 73. I’m writing in case this may be helpful to you or anyone.
It was pretty lonely to be told no one survives a serious case. But I’m fine.
