ER doctor tells us how to beat the heat

Well, it seems that our moms were right. Medical experts say that is the best way to beat the heat.
Dr. John Marshall, chairman of emergency medicine at Maimonides Medical Center, 4802 10th Ave. in Borough Park, said that the best way to deal with the oppressive summer heat is to take the proper precautions.
