In a movie, where the protagonist is badly injured and about to die, they start using defibrillators, they start from the lowest amount of shock/power, to the highest, so why dont they just start at the highest?

In real life, when someone presents with a “shockable rhythm” (that is, a faulty rhythm that is still working and can be “reset”), the reason medical professionals start at low power is because it’s a better idea in every case to use the least amount of power needed to reset the heart’s rhythm, because you could end up doing serious damage otherwise.
