- Abstract
Electricity needed in all our daily activities. Ranging from household life to low scale low voltage, medium to high scale industrial activities with high voltage. Electric shock trauma is a rare case. Electric shock victims are generally caused by workplace accidents. Electric shock that causes injury to death is related to alternating current and rarely due to direct current. humans are more sensitive 4 to 5 times more sensitive to alternating current. A man claimed to be a 36-year-old construction worker fell and hit the State Electricity Company (PLN) cable to get an electric shock alternating current. the patient was referred to Dr Soetomo hospital Surabaya and received emergency assistance and subsequently received joint inpatient services by plastic surgeons, internal medicine doctors and psychiatric doctors. Patients suffering from severe burns on the left hand and right hand 10% with a muscle base and emergency surgery performed at an emergency care installation. This paper comes from a clinical forensic case report at the Forensic and Medicolegal Installation of Dr Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. Alternating current can cause injury to death. The clinical forensic service is intended to explain that an electric shock incident is an occupational accident
