Here is my obligatory links page, although it was the compilation of a links page that was the orikginal point of thiks exercise. There just isn't a lot of material on electrical trauma (particularly high-voltage trauma, which is my case) collected on the net, which probably reflects one of two things:
Actually both of these may be true, since something like 75% of high-voltage injuries result in amputations, if the victim isn't killed outright. I'm one of the very lucky ones.

To advance the care of electrically injured patients, the University of Chicago Hospitals have established a clinical and research program for electrical shock victims.

I'm not sure that I quite understand what
www.emedicine.com
is about as a web-site, but I found these two articles

This page appears to be the answers to some specific questions submitted by another electrical trauma victim to the panel of doctors at www.mediscene.com.
