An electrical shock is not at all the same thing as the medical state of being 'in shock'. Also, it sounds like the injury he sustained was an RF burn, which is not quite the same as a 'shock' - although it's caused by electricity, the sensation and damage are local to the contact site.
Basically this guy was likely no more 'in shock' than if he'd hit his thumb with a hammer. In pain, yes, but not delirious.
