    I'm 17 years old and I don't know much about electricity, electricity, etc.
    Dad used a drill, and when he turned off he put it on the floor. It was unfortunate that I was reaching for something (I forgot what for) and touched the still rotating drill. I feel the kick of electricity and my skin is red (right hand, middle finger almost in the middle). My whole hand seems to be numb, but not like, for example, after getting up in the morning from bed.
    Oddly enough - almost my arm hurt and a moment after the kick I don't feel any pain (only when I bend my arm).
    Could something serious happen to me? In general, I would ignore it, but never after a kick (I don't know if it can be called a kick) has my arm felt as if it went numb, and moreover, my shoulder is not felt as in the morning.

    It was probably just an ordinary puncture, if it does not stop after a few days, then just in case, go to the doctor, because there may be something wrong with the nervous system

    Maybe you can march to the doctor? In the medical forum you will be asking about the types of cables?

    It's one thing to see the doctor, but this entry:

    I conclude that it was not the first time, but it was the first time so serious.
    If I am not mistaken, both the electrical installation and these power tools can be checked by a qualified electrician. I advise you to do it as soon as possible, because it's a pity such a young life. You are only 17 years old and it would be a shame to end this life at such a young age.

    Maybe you just got a mechanical injury. It might not have anything to do with the electricity at all.

    Or he strained an arm or a tendon with a quick reflex.

    Maybe he even has soreness. This is probably not what this topic is about - he may not survive the next shock. :idea:

    Do you care too much sometimes? in the past, you saw blisters, burned skin and no one made a scandal or scared you to go to the doctor.

    Several people I knew personally died immediately as a result of being electrocuted or in a burns place in Siemianowice.
    Have you ever released a person electrocuted even at 0.4kV? Have you performed CPR?
    So I don't need such farmazons! :|

    There aren't even two sentences. A visit to the doctor is necessary, whether it is an electric shock or a mechanical trauma. I hope that the author did not delay it.

    And I think that the author registered on the Forum and immediately set up a topic in the Electricity section to have fun. Everyone in their right mind and with a serious approach to life after paralysis talks about it with the father standing next to it (the drill was still rotating when the father put the drill down) and in case of pain or other disorders, goes to the doctor. And here we have a curious case - after being electrocuted, he flies to the computer, registers at the technical (not even medical) forum and asks electricians what is wrong with him.
    Where's the point?

    And no one asked if there was a pool of water or mud on the floor.
    If there was no moisture and the father is alive and well, it means that the trolls come here.
