Is no-one surprised because no-one witnesses it? If not, are the witnesses relevant? Did the woman faint because of something she saw? Something she realised? Did she faint because she had low blood sugar? Was exhausted? Had been poisoned? Had been suddenly clubbed over the head? |

Were the witnesses aware that she was weak? Were they responsible for weakening her? Was she being held captive? Was she a protestor? Was she pulling a stunt for charity? |

was the woman famous? yes. is she in a movie? not when she fainted, but technically anybody can be in a movie. for the purpose of the puzzle, i'll say no because it might throw you off. are the witnesses people watching the movie so no. |

Is she in the hospital specifically for treatment? Has she been refusing to take treatment? Is her weakness related to her disease? Would it help to figure out what she has? Are the witnesses hospital personnel? Patients? Is she in a ward? A private room? A corridor? Is she in a mental hosptial? Is this woman a real-life person? Is the puzzle title relevant at all? It looks like a quote from the Wizard of Oz... so Judy Garland relevant? Opium/poppies relevant? Comas relevant? |

Is she in the hospital specifically for treatment? OH. ******BLOOPER******. She's not in a hospital. Has she been refusing to take treatment? So no. Is her weakness related to her disease? Yes. Would it help to figure out what she has? Yes, but the puzzle can be solved without knowing it. Are the witnesses hospital personnel? Patients? Is she in a ward? A private room? A corridor? Is she in a mental hosptial? Sorry about this. Is this woman a real-life person? No. I'm sure it's happened before, but not to my knowledge. Is the puzzle title relevant at all? Not really. Usually my puzzle titles are EXTREMELY vaguely related, but I was just lazy this time. The "Oh My!" is just.. a reaction the fainting, I guess. Nothing more. It looks like a quote from the Wizard of Oz... so Judy Garland relevant? Opium/poppies relevant? Comas relevant? None of these, sorry for throwing you off. :3 Are others fainting as well? It's possible that others may faint, but none of the observers. |

Is she diabetic? epileptic? hypoglycemic? phobic is some relevant way? Low blood pressure? Is something artificial helping her walk? Is she normally able to walk under her own power? Is there something external causing her to faint? |

Is the location she is walking relevant? Ambient temperature relevant? Does she suffer from some physical condition that contributes to her fainting? Does she suffer from some mental condition that contributes to her fainting? Aliens involved? Is the fainting a reaction to some external stimulus? A bell? Hypnosis involved? |

She has a mental condition which leads to a physical condition: Anorexia/bulemia nervosa? Depression? (And if so, has she been self-harming?) Insomnia? Alcoholism? Are the witnesses aware of her mental condition? Also, is the woman hypoglycemic? You said no to this word earlier, but yes to low blood sugar: but hypoglycemia is low blood sugar. |

Are the witnesses aware of her mental condition? No to others. Also, is the woman hypoglycemic? You said no to this word earlier, but yes to low blood sugar: but hypoglycemia is low blood sugar. Sorry. She is anorexic, so I assume she'd have low blood sugar. REALLY SORRY for the confusion. |

So the witnesses know she's weak because she's so thin? Is anorexia the disease you mentioned earlier? She's famous; is her profession relevant? Is she an actress? Model? Musician? Are the witnesses paparazzi? |

Ah, she's on a catwalk! She saunters up the catwalk, turns around, and begins walking back when she passes out. The audience aren't surprised because she was so painfully thin. |
