How Esprit did NOT become a communist!

Communism – is the Soviet Government plus

electrification of the whole of Russia.

V.I. Lenin

About fear! Everyone probably has fear, but I’m talking about cowardice!!! When a person lets fear take over completely, uncontrollably, it is cowardice.

Do you feel the difference?

The instinct of self-preservation screams from our every cell, but brave people and

reasonable people with a strong character turn off this feeling. I remember that

the “devotion to the goal” helped me, that is, the emotional desire to fulfill the task,

the mission! And this dominant feeling took away the fear somewhere.

That’s what I have.

Once I got under 220v voltage at the most unfavorable current flow —

right – left hand. I was sorting through the wires in the drawer and didn’t notice that the desk lamp in the drawer was plugged in, and the wire was exposed in one place. There is a metal lamp in his right hand, and an exposed electric wire in his left palm. A seizure has occurred! I couldn’t unclench my hands or pull out the smooth cable with my foot. There I was one in the lab. I couldn’t scream, the current was coming through my throat, and my ligaments were paralyzed. Breathing, too. I stand at the table and calmly think: “And so I can croak.”

And the current is getting stronger! Burned the skin on the palm and continues to burn through the tissues.

Inside, there is a feeling that an electric train is rushing through the chest. Rips the fabric,

He grinds, twitches my face, and the paralysis creeps up and down to my legs, too.

Bending over, I crawled to the outlet where the main wire was connected, and punched it out

using my elbow (it could still move it), I began to knock out the plug. And there was a grounded operating lamp at the outlet. With every movement, I had to touch it with my forehead. As a bonus, I received a deafening electric shock to the head, dazzling phosphenes poured out of my eyes. If there had been paper nearby, it would have caught fire. I knocked it out, tearing his elbow into the blood, but was it important at all?!

The feeling of electricity through my body disappeared, but everything inside was “buzzing and shaking” like a rail after a train had just passed. Ten or fifteen minutes later, it was gone.

But the funny thing is, I wasn’t afraid to die.

The only task was to get rid of this terrible feeling of current rushing through

body.

An hour later, my colleagues came and insisted that I take an electrocardiogram.
I did it reluctantly. The norm!

Well known Russian poet M.Y.Lermontov could describe this incident in his famous verse as follows:

Alternating current is spasmodically

Shocking Esprit! But the Master sensed:

An empty heart beats rhythmically,

The ampermeter did not wavered in his hand.

The next day, I made experiment copying incedent. It turned out that I was electrocuted.

seconds – 25-35. The current is decent – half an ampere! If I had shown a little more

patience, I would have turned into a roast and “served – for bon appetite!”

It’s a pity, this patience wasn’t enough!

I was very unlucky!

Maybe in a few more seconds, the heart would have started to fibrillate, and then

it stopped, but already with the onset of ventricular fibrillation, I would have lost consciousness and would have gone to “another, the best world» without any problems!

I later read in the literature that as many as 20 microampers THROUGH the HEART can cause fibrillation. And I have a decent current through my heart there, I think.

The body’s resistance was falling! The current increased, the skin at the point of contact

burned out, exposing well-conductive tissues.

I became a 110 watt heating element!

All in all, it’s a funny case. I was most interested in one fact: My complete peace of mind, no panic, no fear, no hysteria.

If it had been, I would have to die.

And I’m just a very emotional person, irritable and so on.

And I’m also listed as neurotic…
