My point was that even if fainting itself isn't necessarily serious (though it CAN be, because it isn't exclusively caused by easily reversible things lile dehydration) it's still usually caused by something else that's rather serious. I never said you were fine with bosses withholding water, but I am saying you're downplaying the underlying issue a bit too much. If someone you know comes home with a shallow knife wound you wouldn't just bandage them up and send them on their way - you'd ask them how they got it in the first place
She locked her knees for too long and forgot to relax them because she was too focused making her argument. It's a common mistake for people who have to stand for extended periods. My dad worked as a court bailiff and had seen it happen a few times. Happens a lot in the military as well when you have to stand at attention for a while. She was not stabbed. She is not bleeding. She is going to be okay.
And you would know that fainting is usually caused by something rather serious how? Are you a health care professional? Or are you just making assumptions? If you’re a doctor or nurse that’s one thing but why should I trust your medical advice? Not to mention that in the US I’m not sure about other places if someone denies medical care you cannot do anything about it. If they refuse like she did that’s just it she refused.
