In the last episode, we explored the role heat emergencies played in the deaths of Tour de France cyclist Tom Simpson and Kentucky high school football player, Max Gilpin. But why were Tom Simpson and Max Gilpin the only athletes to suffer heatstroke? The "But Why (@EMSBut)" team answers this question with guests: Evan Schwarz MD @TheSchwarziee and Kevin Baumgartner MD.

Our first episode explores why a Tour De France Cyclist, Tom Simpson, and high school football player, Max Gilpin, died competing in the sports they loved. We also have a guest physician, Dr. Salvador Rios, who explains the pathology that can cause death if not treated in a time-sensitive manner.
