[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 4930939, member: 79761"] I agree wholeheartedly, and after all the training modules they've had me do in the past two weeks I don't know why my management team allowed me to tell them I'd be okay and refuse any kind of treatment with my cascading muscle cramps all over my body well into the night/next day. It's literally in the modules that an employee suffering heat exhaustion or heat cramps for more than an hour should be taken for medical evaluation despite their protests, but again, that was me making that decision and they respected it... likely because it would help minimize any hits to my center's budget if I took option days and got better on my own. Once I felt the onset a second time, I came to the realization that another night of muscle cramps put the fear of God into me and I had to suck it up and go see a doctor for the first non-emergency visit of my adult life. Man! I was one of those latchkey kids out every day for as long as I could. If it was too hot to hoop or bmx, all the kids were at one of the neighborhood pools until close. Then some time in my 20's I just succumbed to the AC lifestyle. No worries! There's always at least one person that just sees a wall of text, and before I hit post I had a feeling there'd be wayyyy more than that with this thread. I just couldn't figure out a decent summation so it ended up being as basic as it is. [/QUOTE]
