I don't think that modern medicine matters if lightning strike strikes you.
The main method of dying is probably cardiac arrest, caused by the electricity flowing through ones heart, modern medicine is useless for that. (Except maybe if you happen to get stroked by lightning inside a hospital or something, right next to the right equipment and personnel)
Most people who survive lightning strike won't get hit by the main arc anyway.
Main point being that modern medicine probably does not affect that much on survival percentage from lightning strikes, I guess it can make recovery easier and maybe treat some disabilities from it.
