N2  - Accidental electrical injuries are quite common, but suicide attempts by electrocution are rare and are scarcely mentioned in the medical literature. The author describes the case of a male nurse who unsuccessfully attempted suicide by applying a 5,165-volt cardiac defibrillator to his head. The author also reviews the electrophysiology involved and discusses the psychodynamics that prompted this action.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
