For context, a modern defibrillator is about 3,000 volts and 15 amps.

It seems a bit too much, but in any case it's direct current. Compared to AC there's almost an order of magnitude difference.

It's not just AC vs DC, but frequency changes a lot. High frequency AC can be safe at 30000V can be safe at 10^6 Hz.
