How is it that doctors can use the electric paddles on patients with ear or body piercings in place? Won’t the electric shock burn the piercing sites around the metal?

Yes it can. You generally have to sign a waiver that says they aren’t liable if surgery comes to having to use the paddles. If you come into the ER and the paddles are needed then you can’t sue the hospital because they did what they could to save your life.
