Since my surgery a week ago, when I returned home it seems like every time I touch a light switch I get a small shock from electrostatic discharge. This has never happened to me around my house before and it seems odd. I have wood floors and wear slippers. Has anyone noticed something like this before?
I am surprised after being exposed to the electrosurgical unit which is used during surgery to cauterize the bleeding tissue the lack of pain, it basically implodes the cells. I would have thought that there would be a feeling of being burned, maybe the tissue is cooled by the internal body which makes if feel less affected. The ESU uses current with a return pad under your body that should act as a path of least resistance.
