I worked this weekend and a Critical Alert was called on a patient being transported by EMS from home. Her power had gone out, and she lost her heat. She was found under her kitchen table in the fetal position, wrapped in a thin blanket. High temp that day was 16 degrees F. Her core body temp on arrival was 26.4 degrees C. That converts to 79.5 degrees F.
One of the EMS workers mentioned that the house across the street had a wood-burning stove. It is so sad that people no longer know their neighbors or even care about them.
Fortunately, she was found in time, we warmed her up and she is doing fine. Still in the hospital, but she is now talking and in a warm bed.
