joseph brewshack, the author of "the native american sweat lodge." those numbers, 55 to 65 people, that sounds like a lot. can a sweat lodge accommodate that many people? >> generally a sweat lodge is much, much smaller than that. you are responsibility for the health and well being of everyone in that lodge. if anyone has discomfort you have to let them leave. if you have that many people crammed in that space there is no way anyone could be aware of what was going on with everyone there. >> lynn, were there medical personnel onhand? >> there was one nurse hired as a nurse, not as a participant who was there. >> so one nurse for 55 to 65 people. joseph, i'll go back to you. i don't know what goes on. i have not experienced that myself. that doesn't sound like enough to me especially when conditions are so hot and you could have medical stress. >> a traditional sweat lodge is a sacremental experience. if you know everyone in that lodge you know if someone has emphzema or a medical condition. >> would you normally have medical personnel nearby? >> no.
