Frantically takes husband to ER for serious medical problem (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heatstroke

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'serious medical problem' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'frantically takes husband to er' is the wordplay.
'frantically' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'takes'+'h'+'to'+'er'='takeshtoer'
'takeshtoer' is an anagram of 'HEATSTROKE'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heatstroke that I've seen before include "Kos at three (anag) - cause of high temperature?" , "Sickness" , "Malady from over exposure to the sun" , "Complaint from Sun" , "holiday upset" .)
