Immediately after completing a 2.75-mile (4.43-km) run, he felt lightheaded and dizzy, and he appeared pale. He was going in and out of consciousness, and his eyes were rolling backward. He was taken to sit in a patrol vehicle, monitored by an EMT deputy. Based on the EMT's observations, the trainee was transported by ambulance to a hospital. He was suffering from dehydration and a possible prescription drug interaction. He was hospitalized. Recruits had been told to arrive physically prepared. It appeared that this recruit was not ready.
