I recently received an electrical shock. I was examining some 480V feeders in an in-ground pull box and I touched the ground water that had filled the conduits. One of the feeders had damaged insulation (which we didn't know about at the time) that electrified the water. I didn't suffer any burns, but my two fingers that touched the water had some stiffness and a sensation of mild cramping. I also felt a little tightness in my chest (may have just been anxiety) and I was sweating mildly (may have just been from the heat and stress). In any case, I looked online and read that one should seek medical treatment for any electrical shock.
I went to the local emergency room and, even though I was ambulatory and showed no external symptoms of any kind, the medical staff seemed to think it was pretty urgent, rushing me immediately into an examination room and before I had even completed any check-in paperwork. They connected me to an EKG monitor, took blood, and administered an IV drip. Apparently, one of the body's organs most susceptible to electrical damage are the kidneys (I'm guessing that it's due to the high concentrations of sodium and potassium electrolytes within them, although I did not ask the doctor about the reason). They also took urine samples to check for blood, and two full chest x-rays.
After several hours of monitoring and a clean bill-of-health based on the labwork, EKG, and X-rays, I was discharged. I asked the ER doctor if I had overreacted by going to the emergency room and she stated, quite emphatically, "NO!" She told me that ANY electrical shock requires immediate medical attention because even a person who presents no symptoms of injury can have life-threatening internal damage.
