Electric shocks

Hi i was admitted to hospital a few days ago (am home now) with chest pains I won't go into medical details but the cardiac doctor who saw me said they want to put me to sleep then deliberately shock me to bring my heart back into rhythm  now I've always tried to avoid shocks so was wondering is this really a good idea? I know it's DC from a bank of condensers and not 50 cycle mains but all the same I'm not keen

  • Hi Kelly, there are lots of examples of the use of controlled electricity. I have recently had pulsed radio frequency therapy to calm down a set of overactive nerves. Four probes inserted into my abdomen and ten minutes of 3mA 20 kHz pulses. Did the trick, pain free for 3 months.

    My wife had probes inserted into her heart to shock her heart into the right rhythm. Go for it.
