Not trying to be an ass, but have you never been shocked before? Why the hospital visit? Get burned or something? Scared to ask how they hooked it up so poorly.
My dumbass pulled a move and stuck my hand in the washer power after I plugged it up. Yelled so loud the wife came running and the kids heard it outside and came running. Scared the shit out of me, zero damage.
I've hung from a support line, that was not a power line and should never have been energized. Locked on, 220V of FUCK YOU from one hand to the other, across the chest. Finally broke free by kicking myself off the pole and crash landing. Damage? Palms were pink.
Point being, that's so abnormal it's scary. My man! WTF happened?!
You should always go to the hospital after a decent shock to make sure you're good
My dad worked with electricians and a dude had a heart attack a few hours after a good shock because it had slightly fucked with his rhythm or something (I ain't no heart man), from then on they enforced sending people to the DR if they got a numbing shock or worse
Same was the case when I worked in a warehouse and we only dealt with 110v
Not to mention electrocution leads to various other organs being damaged, like the kidneys, so OP might want to make a full health check.
