How to use heatstroke in a sentence?

1. Shizuo Yoshimoto:

   There are quite a few cases where patients are unable to get a hold of drugs, so one issue is how to maintain treatment for those with chronic illness. Another is acute illness, as heatstroke is on the rise.

2. Richard William Harris:

   Awesome, it's great. God bless Senior Center volunteers, man, i'm just glad Senior Center volunteers're here cause I sure needed it and I don't want to die out there from heatstroke. If it wasn't for this place, I don't know what I would do.

3. Jeremy Hess:

   I was taking care of patients in two of our hospitals out here in Seattle during the heat dome and unfortunately this was the first year I can say confidently that I and my patients very clearly experienced the impacts of climate change. I saw paramedics who had burns on their knees from kneeling down to care for patients with heatstroke. And I saw far too many patients die in the ED as a result of their heat exposure this past year.

4. Kate Carr:

   Sadly heat stroke claimed the lives of 30 children last year and 44 children the year before, so far this year, there have been two reported deaths from heatstroke in cars.

5. Aaron Swiggett:

   Since this is going to be the first heat wave of the year, it's important to be really cognizant of making sure that you're aware of any heat illness or heatstroke-related symptoms and being especially cautious of them and having extra water on hand to combat that and the importance of shade.
