It was so hot in the waiting room at the doctor’s office that I was fanning myself. There was a fan but it’s effect was minimal. I felt so uncomfortable that I started to feel faint.

Next thing I knew,I was looking up at a couple EMT’s.

“What is going on?” I asked, trying to get up.

“You had a mild heart attack brought on by heat. We’re going to take you to the hospital.”

“Wait a minute- I’ve got an appointment. I can’t leave-“

“That can wait. Besides, the doctor will check on you at the hospital. You’re going to be admitted.”

“No, I can’t afford that. I’ll be ok. You won’t find out anything at the hospital anyway.”

I stood up, but fell back down again. I was too dizzy. I lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I was on a gurney being taking to an ambulance. What a bummer.
