lololsu - If you're using one of those defibrillators that are now available at airports and such, you can't shock the person deliberately. All you do is follow the instructions, putting the pads on the body and the machine reads the heart activity and will decide if a shock is the appropriate treatment. If there's no sign of v-fib, the machine won't fire off.
