WHAP ! Saw a friend pass completely out at work - cbelt3 - 04-16-2009

A friend was sitting in the cafeteria at lunch this afternoon, a few tables over. All of a sudden one of the guys I was eating with jumped up and ran over. We turned and looked, and our friend was completely grey-white, eyes rolling up in his head, completely limp, mouth hanging open. The people sitting with him caught him and held him up.

Fortunately the work EMT's (we have a very professional group of EMT's here, it's a 'second job' for all of them), the company medical director and the doctor were all a few tables away, and ran over.

They got him to the floor, assessed, got him on O2, stablized. He came to after a few minutes, and they took him off to the hospital.

Just got an email from him- he's fine, the hospital couldn't find anything wrong.

Man ! He scared the hell out of all of us- he looked just plain dead.

dysautonomia or vasovagal episode?

how old is he? the cause of syncope can be difficult to find (sometimes), but some forms of syncope are associated with increased likelihood of death.
