The shock introduced grand mal seizures, a wild electrical storm that travels around the skull seeking an exit, ripping and boiling flesh at high temperatures. The resultant dead brain tissue leaves the patient with severe memory loss. With between 120 to 460 volts scorching through steaming flesh one wonders why this treatment is not listed as torture.
