Uhhhhhh....... Nope.
It is an extremely painful way to go.
The burns get worse over the course of time because you cook from the inside out.

You made another good point about the previous person not wiring properly.
I've seen breakers wired backward. Hot on bottom and load on the top.
I was once told to remove conduit that was no longer being used. As I was taking it apart, water poured from it.
It had 3 wires in it. I was about to cut them when I decided to find out where they went to see what they had powered and verify they weren't hot. I got to the end of the conduit and found a push button start/stop station. It was hot. Worse yet someone had wired it with full power to the motor starter. Rather than 120 volt control power, it had 480 volts on it. I think my boss wanted to kill me, telling me it was no longer used.

Did you know when they used the electric chair, they had to tape the eyes to keep the eyeballs from shooting across the room?

Sounds like it is a good thing you checked!
 
It's funny. I just realized that I have mentioned two incidents that happened within a month of each other in the last few days.
When I was 12 -months-old, I fell head first out of my crib onto a cement floor. I fractured my skull. Apparently a lot of people (even really old, mean Optometrists) are not aware of the nerve damage that does, but that is another story.
One month later, I received third degree burns on my back. I almost didn't live through that one.
Neither did my family. My oldest brother has never forgiven me for the consequences. In Boston, there had been some really bad things happening to babies around that time. Children's Services were called, and they spent over two years tormenting me. My parents had to leave the house, and a woman would stay with us (five of us at the time). She would grill everyone. Then she would force me into her lap. Often making the others leave us alone. She held me so tight! I wasn't allowed to get down. Leaving Massachusetts was a good thing. I don't know how many years it would have taken for them to leave me alone.
 
Good morning folks.....sorry I'm not on much right now.....grandson and son visiting.
Hope everyone is good....I'm trying to get through some rough patches with my asthma....but after a few days of increased prednisone I'm back breathing at least ok.
Our summers are around here so I'm busy....but winter is coming I'll be able to keep up here a bit better.
Just want you all to know I'm thinking of you and praying for you all.
Please drop me a PM if you get a minute
(Open invitation to all)
Have a great Sunday......Phil
