Excerpt from Thermometer Pills
Tracy Wilson
- Over the past ten years more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical condition known as heatstroke. Heatstroke
occurs when the body's internal temperature becomes so elevated that its cooling system begins shutting down. Who is most at
risk? Surprisingly, it is younger athletes. They often either do not recognize or ignore the warning signs until it's too late. To

“I didn't know," ventured the nurse, “that he thought he had a lump on his spine.
His back is weak because he won't try to sit up. I could have told him there was
no lump there."
Colin's tantrum had passed and he was weak and worn out with crying and this
perhaps made him feel gentle.
He put out his hand a little toward Mary, and I am glad to say that, her own
tantrum having passed, she was softened too and met him half-way with her
hand, so that it was a sort of making up.
"You stop!" she almost shouted. "You stop! I hate you! Everybody hates you!!
wish everybody would run out of the house and let you scream yourself to
death! You will scream yourself to death in a minute, and I wish you would!"
Last question please!
