Or... you could be like ANY person that uses the proper term, and look at both people like they were idiots.
How so? I just browsed multiple dictionaries, all of which said "Injured or killed", not just killed.

Point me to a single MEDICAL dictionary that says "injured or killed" as the primary definition. Doesn't exists, because that's not the true definition.

Dont care. Common sense ( at least around here) understands. And yes, I would feel comfortable being cross examined by a patient's attorney on this.

I vote that if we use near drowning, we should also use near electrocution
On that note i called DHS and got a hold of them the first time, apparently ive been calling the wrong person this whole time :sad:

We have a doc in the level one who has an issue with incorrect terminology. I asked him about this a few minutes ago. He claims the proper report should be:
15yo male who received a self inflicted electrical shock by sticking a foreign object into an electrical socket. Patient complaining of tingling and spasms in left arm blah blah blah.
He did say something that made me think. By definition electrocution = death. That means every time we used an AED we would be effectively killing the patient if we consider all electrical shock to be electrocution.

Sounds like we're getting a little bit too on topic. Time to get directionless, please.

Sorry to get back on a topic but if you guys are all debating about that then when I tell the doc that my patient "rode the electrical wave" is probably not a good thing....... Lol

Wonder who took the longest hiatus between posts on EMTLIFE?
I imagine we "announce" birthdays for people long gone.

One of the docs I work with gave me a Stetson fedora as a graduation present tonight! I am thrilled.
