In the case of the arrogant electrician, and to teach his boss, I would go to the doctor anyways to get a doctors note, and file a suit against his insurance, or better yet report him to the BBB ( Better Business Bureau), maybe a suspension on his license will teach him a thing or 2, some of these kinds of people give the actual real electricians a bad rep, most of these types are scab workers anyways.....I can tell you that you are painfully aware that you are being electricuted. I felt the pulsations of the electricity rushing through my body from my chest to my arms and I could hear myself yelling. My body was no longer under my control. I remember feeling intense pressure in my head, knowing that I would die soon...not wondering if. That 3 seconds was one foot in hell, like being mawled by a grizzly bear.
The very electrician who was at fault for not warning me was my biggest critic. He told me that I did not recieve the full 277. He also went around the jobsite with a giddy attitude towards me and mockingly about what happened.
While working on a kitchen hood exhaust I noticed that it was hooked up, electrically, naturally I asked the same guy to disconnect it. Arrogantly he told me what to disconnect and expected me to do it! I told him that I wasn't gonna touch it. The bastard disconnected the wires and to my surprise he left the wires exposed not only to the kitchen hood...which were not connected to anything...but 4 wires comming out of a box in the wall. Man, I got irrate and went to his boss. I showed him the wires exposed without wirenuts, and having been through what I had been I told his boss that he needed to put a leash on this guy. The word got back and to make a long story short I threatened the guy with a 277 of my own that I would gladly hand deliver.
Shure, so would I. Here where I live the private "ER's" are everywhere, it's only a matter of pick and choose. It might seem like my bad experience with the emergency room was the main point of my post, but it more to tell the OP what serious medical treatment he really should have been trough after his experience.Tell you the truth, I would go which ever is closest.

Hi JR:Hello guys. Recently I was working on a project and was electricuted for 3 seconds of 277. It was extremely painful and, thank God, the breaker tripped knocking out 9 2*4 layin ceiling lights.
My question is what are some immediate symptoms and what can be some longterm effects?
