Abstract
While the immediate effects from electric shock injuries are obvious in terms of entry wounds, exit wounds and cellular damage to the pathway traversed by the current, the long term effects are often unpredictable. Furthermore, in electric shock injuries of either extremely short duration or of less than 500 Volts, there may be minimal or no observable diagnostic evidence that an electric shock actually occurred. Still, it is not uncommon to find individuals who suffer from a diverse set of neurological, physical, and psychological problems that seem to post-date the injury. When taken in conjunction with the litigious nature of our society, it becomes essential to develop a protocol to relate cause with effect in the absence of solidly quantifiable evidence. The protocol must provide a basis upon which a treatment plan can be established, blame can be assessed, and fraud can be detected. (Keywords: Electric Shock, Electrical Injury) 1,2
