After the surgery, I felt like I've been charged with electricity.

Last January, I've undergone a minor surgery involving my right leg. I was bitten by an insect and it got infected to the point that the surgeon had to scrape the pus off my swollen legs and put a drain on it to be removed after a week. I have never been hospitalized in my entire life and certainly that surgery was the very first I've undergone. I had several shots of anesthesia since the site is very close to the tibia also known as the shin bone (bone in front of the legs). After 15 minutes, the operation is over and I'm feeling dizzy. When I felt better, the nurses assisted me to the wheelchair. But when the nurse on my right held my arms, we both got electrocuted. She removed it immediately; then she tried to hold my arms again to assist me, the same thing happened. Up until now I'm wondering what had happened there. What could have triggered the electrocution? Was it too much anesthesia? Was it the surgery? Have you experienced this before?

I know it's not funny and no I haven't experienced it before. But, it kinda sounds cool. It's like you became a super hero!
