What has testing revealed regarding the Taser?
Anesthesiologist and specialist in medical electronics, Dr. Frank Summers, MD of St. Joseph’s Hospital, Orange, California, directed tests of volunteers at St. Joseph’s in 1971 and 1974. Dr. Summers stated, “…We undertook this [volunteer test] in the operating rooms at St. Joseph’s Hospital. We had an assembly of cardiovascular surgeons, cardiologists… we had a real [TASER]. We tested extensively and made movies. The tests were impressive. We monitored all parameters of physiology, including electro cardiographs. The tests did not produce any lethal effects and we found that the background work that had been done did indeed pan out in practice.
