Anyways, to all you 18D's and MD's out there, when you fellows have had to cadiovert somebody say for V-fib, how many of them have remembered getting paddled?

Technicaly for V-fib (and pulseless V-tach) we defibrillate 200,300,360 joules. I know some Docs that will just use 360 to hell with the lower settings. 100,150,200 J for Biphasic.
Most of the pts Ive defibrillated were pretty FUBAR'd and they didnt remember much. A couple said they remembered being shocked. Im mot sure if I believe them.
Ive had pts tell me they remember the shock when cardioverted. That I believe-
