Man Feels FANTASTIC After He Was Struck By Lightning
<snip>

MADISON -- A Madison man who has undergone three cardiac surgeries said he was feeling "lighter and 100 years younger" after he survived a lightning strike this week.

"I'm feeling like my body is light," 56-year-old John Corson said Wednesday, a day after surviving the accident outside his home on Route 148. "It's the best I've probably felt as far as energy in 10 years."

Corson was taken to Redington-Fairview General Hospital following the accident, which occurred shortly before 1 p.m. Corson said doctors tested his blood for possible effects to his heart condition, and released him in about eight hours.

Corson and his wife, Sylvia, had gone into the house after the thunder-and-lightning storm hit.

"We were sitting in the garage," Corson said. "I told her I ought to go in the house because with my luck I'd be struck right here by lightning."

2. He could have had depression
Shock treatments work for that sometimes. Very interesting article.
