Post by answerhappygod »

A 10-year-old white boy presented to the emergency center with
multiple burns. He had been playing with a battery charger that his
father had taken apart to fix. He plugged the charger to an outlet
(110 volts [V]) while holding the circuit board on the other hand
and received an electric shock. As a result, he got 3 burns; a
small one on the fingertips of the right second and third fingers,
another on the dorsum of the left hand, and a third on the chest.
After the shock occurred, the patient fell to the ground and did
not experience further trauma. However, he did lose control of his
bladder. The father reported no loss of consciousness, seizures,
muscle spasms, or bleeding following the shock.
The past medical history was unremarkable.
