I'm not Doc Sharon, or even a Doc, but I did have a close friend who was hit 
by lightning several years ago.  He was holding his toddler child at the 
time.  The insides of his watch were fried and his child's shoe came off 
(and flew about 10 feet), but that was the only reaction.  No 
unconsciousness, no CPR, no fuzzy head or smoking head or spiked hair.
