Durham First Marathon (Continued from page 1) farther than one and a half miles from expert medical attention. "If the Vkfeather is as hot as it can be in Durham on Oct. 1, heat exhaustion and heat stroke will be our main concerns/' Williams said. "Of course, the major goal of the medical team will be to prevent rather than treat them." He^t stroke a medical emergency The physician explained that heat exhaustion results when the body is unable to dispel heat adequately. Symptoms, which would only cause someone to stop running, are muscle cramps, excessive fatigue, vomiting and mild dehydration. Heat stroke, on the other hand, is a life- threatening medical emergency that requires immediate treatment, he said. Symptoms resemble those of heat exhaustion, except that they are much more severe and include circulatory collapse, chemical imbalances in the body and extreme mental confusion or unconsciousness. Each first aid station will be equipped with water, ice, bandages, antiseptics, intravenous fluids, emergency vehicles and defibrillators — electronic devices that can help the heart resume a rhythmic beat after a heart attack. The cardiologist said numerous water stands will also be set up elsewhere on the course. Eleven Duke physicians have already volunteered to staff the aid stations, • Williams said. In addition, some Duke nurses and others skilled in basic first aid have agreed to help out. Three Triangle area ham radio clubs have pledged to provide communications at the aid tents and at frequent intervals along the route, he said. Runners should be prepared Williams said that anyone planning to participate in the marathon should be able to run eight or nine miles comfortably. Blood Drive The October Blood Drive will be held Thursday, Oct. 5, 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in the first floor cafeteria. "If you can't, you don't have any business trying to run more than 26 miles," he warned. ‘ Similarly, the physician suggests that anyone planning to run in the 10,000 meter race (6.2 miles) that also will be held Sunday, should be able to run two or three miles comfortably. Besides proper conditioning, running shoes are another important consideration, Williams pointed out, saying he doesn't recommend tennis or basketball shoes. e ¥ WATCHING BUBBLES GROW—Four-year-old Katrina Locklear's lips parted into a smile when she saw her mother blow through a straw into some soap suds and make "bubble magic." Recreation therapist Ninna Burkill referred to this particular playtime as an "official bubble blowing session." Katrina and her mother Judy joined about a half-dozen other children in the play session. Both Locklears are patients on Rankin Ward.
