Too Hot
July 7th, 2008
“I woke up and I was too hot” said the 70 year old woman stood in front of me.
It was 3am on a warm July evening. She told me that she didn’t normally feel the heat and had never woken up hot before. Looking at her bed, there was a winter duvet pulled back from when she got up.
I checked everything I could, and found nothing wrong with her. Even her temperature was normal, yet she still insisted on going to the hospital “just to be on the safe side“.
She could be sure of a long wait in A&E…

Reminds me of a story in the papers back in the late 80’s. Some bloke had to be rescued from his flat which had gone on fire. Hottest day of the year during a long hot summer.
He’d had his electric blanket on.
