Information on Electrical Shock-Help please!?


Question:
I am in need of some information & where I can go to find information in medical literature regarding electrical shock. My precious (a young surgical RN) daughter-in-law experienced a serious electrical shock at work (in an operating room). To this point, I have not talked to her to get more details but she is still very ill from this. She has migraine headaches, abdominal cramps, tingling in her arm & etc. I am very worried about her. Some type of equipment malfunctioned & it destroyed the equipment & severely shocked her.
I am not certain of what tests she has had done & all, as she is sleeping all the time from the exhaustion & too ill to be up much.
I just need medical information so I can give her to make sure she gets proper tests & such & is properly informed as to what all she needs checked out.
She has never yet had children & wonder if this will affect her eggs?
Please help. She is too ill to research this & my son is very busy & away some.

Answers:
This site seems to imply that burns are the greatest risk, followed by "internal injuries" and suggests emergency room treatment:

This site:

suggests: An ECG, cardiac enzymes, full blood count and a urinalysis are baseline investigations required for all electrical injuries.
