A power-strip/surge protector is not the same thing as a GFCI power outlet of circuit breaker, interesting enough with all of the above reports of electrocution, the bottom line is if it's not grounded you are asking for it.  I worked as a certified biomedical electronic tech in multiple hospitals, Operating rooms, ICU & CCU units, you will only find  GFCI outlets in the bathrooms, and this is with patients with indwelling catheters directly into their hearts. the majority of bio-med safety checks is lifting the ground & testing the chassis leakage current presented to the patient leads of main equipment case that may come into contact with people. 

make sure the damn thing is grounded & the freaking outlet is grounded too.

Ok thanks. For some reason I thought they were the same thing. Thanks for clearing that  up for me.
