One thing I learned back from my paramedic days was that given how much fucking power is running through the patient, theyre remarkably survivable provided CPR is done pretty quick.

Most cardiac arrests that occur out of a hospital have abysmal survival rates. You got a friend who can do some compressions after a lightning strike though? You'll almost certainly come back after a few minutes.

And for your troubles you get a cool scar (ie: ferning) and a lifetime fear of thunderstorms.
