NURSE - PLEASE WIPE THE SWEAT OFF MY EYES SO I CAN READ THE TREATMENT FOR HYPOTHERMIA
A British soldier serving in Iraq tried to escape from the sweltering heat by sleeping in a walk-in fridge but ended up being treated for hypothermia.

The lance corporal, an army medic in his 20s, had sought shelter from the blazing summer sun but was found asleep in a dangerous condition by a colleague and was taken to hospital, the Daily Mirror newspaper reported on Saturday.
