Heat illness.
A 17-year-old girl collapsed during a field hockey practice on a hot August afternoon, apparently suffering from heat illness, which is responsible for about 5,000 deaths annually. A panel of experts explores this girl's case, discusses heat illness in general, and makes recommendations about diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
