Well, after trying six times to post a reply, I figured out that it just doesn’t like me putting links in here. So let’s try again xD
For electrocution, I went to the BRCA (Burn and Reconstructive Centers of America) website. Under “community resources” and “safety”, they have a page with a lot of info about electrocution.
For prolonged standing, OSH Wiki has a page on “musculoskeletal disorders and prolonged static standing” that looks promising.
As far as losing a limb to burns, I think absolutely. I doubt it would just burn off, but I bet the flesh could be so badly damaged that an amputation becomes necessary.
And those effects sound reasonable! I don’t have any research to back that up though.
As far as sites to research things, any medical site would be good for things like diseases. For other things, I end up just Googling my questions and using whatever sites come up. But I’m also very hard to make uncomfortable or nauseous (as far as wounds and diseases are concerned). I know that’s not the case for everyone lol. If I come across any sites that look useful, I’ll let you know!
Hopefully some of this helps!
