abstract="Lightning strikes are a relatively uncommon emergency department presentation, and  due to the very high energy involved, can present quite dramatically, including  cardiac arrest. However, as with many chief complaints, sometimes these patients can  be discharged home after a benign emergency department evaluation. We present one  such case of a male who was struck to the ground by lightning outside his truck,  which subsequently caught on fire. He demonstrated the classic Lichtenberg figures  associated with a lightning injury that evolved over time but was otherwise  hemodynamically stable. After an unremarkable laboratory evaluation and  electrocardiogram, he was safely discharged home.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
