Appalling treatment in resuscitation room? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shocking

This clue is a double definition.

'appalling' is the first definition.
('shock' can be a synonym of 'appal')

'treatment in resuscitation room?' is the second definition.
(as in defibrillating with an electric shock)

(Other definitions for shocking that I've seen before include "form of execution?" , "Horrific (pink?)" , "Dreadful (shade of pink?)" , "result of bad wiring?" , "Traumatic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
