On Wednesday, Kristo Enn Vaga fell ill during the show. Peep Kala said that at first they didn't understand what had happened. The hosts continued the broadcast.
Kala said: "Vaga fell down. Andres Kuusk and Peeter Tali helped him up. Vaga wanted to continue the debate." At first, they didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.
"This has never happened before on 'Esimeses stuudios'." Kala said that sometimes it happens that someone feels unwell during a show. But this is not shown on TV.
Kala noticed that Vaga's speech became strange. He ordered Vaga to be taken out of the studio and called an ambulance. Vaga did not lose consciousness but wanted to return to the show.
Kala apologized to Vaga's family. He said they would analyze the situation to be better prepared in the future.
Vaga has a heart rhythm disorder. According to the doctor, it is not life-threatening but can be frightening. If you experience heart problems, call an ambulance immediately.
The doctor said that rhythm disorders have various causes. For example, adrenaline, fatigue, or alcohol. Sports can also cause rhythm disorders.
The doctor said that health sports are good, but long distances should be done carefully. Especially older people should keep this in mind.
