The Enemy Within - S1-E15

Factual error: MacGyver and Victoria go back to the location of the science event to think about the incident. MacGyver's friend, Bannister, suffers from a heart attack. MacGyver cuts a microphone cable and binds the cords to a metallic candlestick. MacGyver uses his creation as a some sort of defibrillator. Of course it works and MacGyver saves his friend. The maximum power in the wire is 11-48v DC with the maximum current of 10MA - not enough for giving huge electric shocks.
