Do you remember the time quite a while ago when Brunei army recruits on some hill in Tutong were struck by multiple lightning strikes ? I think this was last year in March or February. Violent lightning storm it was. I was told that a few soldiers were hit directly by lightning and died on the spot. Many were 'electrified' through water or direct body contact.
About a 4-5 soldiers were admitted to ICU as there were 'bradycardic' but this was a misinterpretation of their normal physiological state. These are fit fighting soldiers hence you would expect them to have a normal low heart rate.
One of the patients there was struck by lightning directly. Note the picture of this patient's chest, right nipple on the left, and white 3rd degree burn marks into this skin of the chest (gauze is covering the burn area) like a fingers of lightning protruding and burning into the chest. The lightning went into his chest, and somehow did NOT defibrillate his heart and went out the exit wound ie. Left thigh. Note the 3rd degree burn on the thigh. He was intubated and observed in Surgical Intensive Care Unit for a few days.
Miraculously, this man survived with no internal organ damage. He must have had a low 'resistance' to electricity. Unfortunately, I was told that his colleagues who were next to him died instantly.
This man must be Mat Kilau.

in this case, is defibrillation a bad thing? Defibrillation can act to 'jumpstart' a tachycardic heart. Is this right?
