nonsense.

Keith, please explain how and why Ohm's law is "nonsense"?

Or, were you saying that the damage from a shock is not related to the energy
delivered?

To expand on my original statement, electrical shock damage is directly related
to the extent and magnitude of tissue heating. I'm not talking about
neuro-muscular depolarazation - which can produce cardiac dysrhythmias or
orthopedic damage from violent muscular contraction. I'm talking about dead
tissue (skin, muscle, fat, tendons, nerves, internal organs, internally
coagulated blood, even bones, severe swelling from compartment syndromes etc.

I want to hear more about the nonsense.
