Okay. Your body shuts down your extremities to support your core organs. If you rewarm too fast, your heart can get irritable and possibly have a ccareful if someone is cardiac arrest.

You need to be careful rewarming for that reason. The heart is a very finicky muscle. I am sure that both Zach and Dick have a case of hypothermia, not matter if the temp didn't get that cold. You would be surprised.

people can doublecheck my facts but i've done a lot of fishing, like in a ski town and hypothermia.

the core of the body has to be warmed up first. When the body gets too far under temperature there is a risk that blood will clot in the extremities, (arms legs)

There have been deaths from people who are hypothermic and jump into a hot bath/tub. The body needs to be slowly warmed.

In emerg they wrap the body in warming blankets with arms and legs outside of the blankets.

((i'm not a nurse, not a doctor, just have some experience in real life and have seen people worked on in ER))

Seriously, I am not a Dick fan, but the man earned respect tonight...

ITA!!!! I have bounced back and forth all season on being an ED fan. Tonight ED IS THE MAN!!! I was crying for him and really hope he is ok.

He just needs to bring his body temperature back up. Living up north, I know that sound of shivering fairly well....if he keeps calm and just lets it warm up, he'll be okay.

Damick, me too. I'm a Dick fan, but I could not have lasted like either of them did. Heck, I wouldn't have made it as far as Daniele. I think this is the most brutal comp. I've ever seen.

It sounds like BB is doing everything to help. That is good cause Dick needs to be observed closely.

Dani's okay, she made Zach the tea, she is just concerned about making sure her dad is okay.

Thank you, Sunshyne, Dolphin & Ms & Loppes for answering. I appreciate the medical knowledge, didn't know that.

I believe that BB has always had medical professionals on staff, just in case.

If Dick was in dire straights, they would not allow him to sit there and smoke...he would have been taken to the DR ASAP....

Its ok...Dick will be fine...

It was changed to eight hours...still same opinion. He treated people like they were nothing. I happen to think people BESIDES Dick deserve better treatment.

Dani helped Zach zip up his jacket. She just gave Zach aspirin and water.

I can't say that they need to see a doc. But I don't think it would hurt either one of them. At least get a baselline and watch them closely.

(If you are wondering where I know this medical info. I was a paramedic for about 5 years in Virginia. Had a share of drownings where the person was considered hypothermic.)

Hyper yes,,,seems to me it was.
I bet if the rabbit hadn't died, that it would have been over sooner. Seems they had to readjust the game with just the water, and it took longer.
But gosh its unreal I was riveted for 8 hours.
Two men, two different techniques. Unreal stamina.

Dick should have used his brain... take a good look at Zach and say right away, this ain't worth it and quit and save yourself a lot of suffering for nothing. They've got the game anyway.
