ORIGINAL: AbsitInvidia I can't believe he's ever done that before, since the nipples generally provide a path directly through or near the heart, and a powerstrip would so oversupply the current as to pretty much nail closed the coffin. Not really. It's not something I'd do, but the way the M.D. explained it to me, the current is so high that it stops the heart for a while, but needn't always induce arrythmia or fibrillation. Actually, at a party, when someone went into cardiac arrest, a crafty cardiologist, who was at the same party, successfully improvised a defibrillator with a lamp cord with a switch on it. Granted, there's a fucking huge difference between a trained cardiologist performing a last-ditch effort at preserving the life of someone that has gone into fibrillation already, and some clueless twat that tries to use it as a form of sexual play. Also, additionally covering her mouth with tape tells me he probably does not have the requisite intelligence to live among the general public. Again, if you know exactly how to do electroplay in that area, or have a unit that is designed for it (medical grade current limiting, etc.), it's entirely possible to do similar things in a manner that some might deem an acceptable risk. But I would advice anyone who insists on trying it to acquire a cardiac compression unit (a thing you strap around the chest which will compress the entire cavity without breaking the ribs, but hard enough to ensure sufficient circulation; it requires very little training to use, and is superior to a defibrillator for most uses- the air ambulance doctors use it around here) and a manual ventilator. Either way, though, there doesn't seem to be anything RACK about what he did, let alone SSC. As for her; nominee for the Darwin Awards? Health, al-Aswad.
