Red Cross Wooster oh Fairgrounds building I had serious heat exhaustion & was DENIED am empty cot, & had to go by squad to ER. Cot could've served me as I was real weak from heat exhaustion. Incoming kid cot was reserved for wasn't there for quite a while, & I NEEDED the empty cot in my weakened condition. Another empty cot was offered by a lady in the other room, she said she didn't need it, but I was denied a cot, had to wait a very long time before squad was called. Wooster, oh Ohio

I had serious heat exhaustion & was DENIED am empty cot, & had to go by squad to ER. Cot could've served me as I was real weak from heat exhaustion. Incoming kid cot was reserved for wasn't there for quite a while, & I NEEDED the empty cot in my weakened condition. Another empty cot was offered by a lady in the other room, she said she didn't need it, but I was denied a cot, had to wait a very long time before squad was called.

below is a copy of my sad story I from my time of need:

I should do the right thing and kindly alert those who are prone to problems requiring you to immediately lay down. BEWARE if you go to the First Aid Building at your local fair, or anywhere. Be VERY wary if you need a bed, and one's EMPTY, but you're denied in your time of immediate need. Cots should be first come first served (if someone says they NEED to lay down). If you need to lay down NOW in an emergency, someone who's "enroute" doesn't need the cot now if they're NOT there. First aid crews aren't serving those who need to lay down NOW.

Having someone enroute isn't helping someone who needs to lay down NOW in THEIR time of need. "We have someone coming" isn't helping someone who NEEDS a bed NOW!!!!! NOW is the time to help, NOT shove them aside to a chair and wait to call a squad. If the bed you're reserving for an incomer is needed by someone ELSE who needs to lay down NOW, then put THAT person down, and send the incoming person you were saving the cot for to the hospital if you're out of cots!!!!!
