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
I spent the morning at Daughter's house carefully dismantling some wainscotting in the hall so that I could tackle the last of the downstairs socket rewire. What's that got to do with electric shocks? Nothing, 'cos I practised safe isolation.
If medical stuff makes you queasy, go and read a different thread!
I knew that the cables exited the back box at 3 o'clock and I was hoping to find some capping, but no, some b'stard had mortared them in so I had to get out the SDS chisel and expose them the hard way. By early afternoon, they were free. ?
Unsurprisingly, my throat began to feel a bit dry with all that dust, but it was as if the front was sticking to the back. Water didn't help much. By them my eyelids were quite swollen.
So I locked up and went off to A&E to get treatment for my allergic reaction. NB, the time to seek help is whilst you still can! ?
So you are still wondering what this has to do with electric shocks? Well, they did an ecg didn't they. The atrial flutter (not quite the same as fibrillation) is back and now I have to get it treated. Which is where electricity comes in! ?
