Paranoia & First Aid, Period 3, 25 Jun '08

Today the Danger Shop looked like a classroom, with one wall removed, backing onto a beach, where the temperature was degrees hotter. Standing in the shade of the remaining walls Mohinder waited as the students arrived.

"Dehydration, or fluid loss," said Mohinder, "Heatstroke can give you a headache, make you tired and dizzy. The longer your temperature is elevated, the worse the symptoms - a 5 or 10 percent drop will need hospitalization." Mohinder went on to discuss countering a heat wave.

"A hangover is a mild form of alcohol induced dehydration. Nausea, vomiting..." Mohinder paused - letting the students fill in the blanks. "The symptoms are unpleasant but temporary, and there are a number of attempts to alleviate the the symptoms - though feel free to make your own inventions instead, and have a good summer."

[OCD is up!]

Still (unnecessarily) bandaged up, Adah was a bit more reserved during this class than she had been during the previous ones; she still smirked, though it was fairly hidden behind a curtain of hair, at Dr. Suresh's failure to cover how to help with the worst hangover symptom of all of discovering who you ended up sleeping with.

She also had to admire him on his cruelty of holding last class with a view of the beach, temptingly nice if it weren't for the heat, or, perhaps, even more so because of it. Despite herself, she still rather appreciated that sort of torture, whether he intended it or not.
