Heat stroke is terrible, and unfortunately when you are the person having it, it can be very hard to recognize and very scary.
I've both been through it myself (while running a race) and shepherded a friend through a thankfully much less severe case than yours.
I'm grateful that the people with the walk took such good care of you. Obviously they have to be prepared to treat people with heatstroke, but as medeaschild said above, if another friend of mine is going to go through heatstroke, I want it to be in a place where the person can be very well cared for.
