"As an emergency room doctor, I recognized the signs of a medical emergency immediately. I could see she was in serious distress, and I knew I had to act fast. We have to take dehydration and exertion-related issues very seriously in a race scenario because it can lead to severe outcomes, including cardiac arrest."
"I kept telling her to stay with me because I knew how critical the situation could become. Time was of the essence, and it was vital for her to remain conscious and responsive while we awaited help. Keeping her alert was just as important as managing her physical state at that moment."
