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

  • You will be fine Kelly.  The only "Problem" I had was that they had to shave my chest first. That was OK, but I felt rather stubbly for a week or so afterwards...  

    I have read that it is best not to put any creams or lotions on your skin prior to the procedure.
