March 15 -- A student passed out during her health class this afternoon in Lecture Hall 106. A witness said that “her head hit the desk and her paper’s went flying.” Students and faculty tried to revive the student using wet paper towels and water but she was un-responsive to their efforts at first.
A few minutes later, she woke up but was still dazed. The instructor called campus Sheriffs who responded almost immediately to the call. Once there, the officer called paramedics. In the meantime representatives from the American Red Cross administered some cold packs and gave the patient water.
When the paramedics arrived, they got their patient on a gurney, wheeled her out of the class, and confirmed her vitals. By this time the student was fully conscious though still a bit groggy. The paramedics advised her to go to the hospital, but she declined. Instead, they had her call someone to pick her up. The cause of her incident was determined to be an Iron Deficiency for which she had forgotten to take her medication.
