Stumble Thisthe jolt at 0:15 is the implanted defibrillator working perfectly as it detects a problem. incredible.

'Soccer player Anthony Van Loo was diagnosed years ago with a heart condition, but was again allowed to play after the implantation of a defibrillator. This was done a few years back. Last weekend, playing with his team Roeselare in Belgian First Division, he had an actual heart attack during the game. After a few seconds the defibrillator diagnosed the arrhythmia (his heart is supposed to have reached 300 bpm for a few seconds) and autonomously administered a corrective jolt, as can be seen at the 0:15 mark. He was allowed to leave hospital the next and no additional damage (but the existing condition) is expected to be found as there is almost no delay between the attack and the treatment. The miracles of science....'
What I'm wondering though is - did the manufacturer make provisions in the case he were having an intercourse at the time of his heart attack? And if that happened, would the ensuing jolt make his partner (female, presumably) have an orgasm?
Not that I need any help with my sex life: my 40-inch schlong instantly satisfies any woman that puts her clitoris in my prostate. Yeah, baby - I'm THAT experienced!

Possible replies:
1) Ya. Just a little gas.
2) My defibrillator! Get me to the hospital!
3) Fuck you, asshole.
As to external shock, the defibrillator's leads are inserted some distance apart inside the heart, so the electrical path of least resistance shorts across the heart muscle and doesn't travel externally.
Although with nine lives, I suppose they have eight.
Battery life is pretty variable; it depends on how much pacing (if any) the device is doing as well as the number of shocks delivered. I used to be a software engineer for one of the big three ICD manufacturers and there were at least a couple of cases where patients had received dozens of shocks over a roughly 3 year span before they needed replacement. (Sorry; no recharge or battery swap. The whole thing comes out and a new one goes in.)
That'd be cool if you could just plug yourself into a wall at night
