    i wonder if they are even using medical professionals to do this, just someone with “medical training”, i doubt a nurse or doctor would risk thier licenses getting revoked.

      The people who insert the IV are largely not medical professionals. Only after the fact are medical professionals involved to declare the inmate dead. They are largely just staff who have had “training” in phlebotomy. That’s why probably that there are so many botched executions. FWIW, I am strongly against executions. Partly because of how many innocents are executed. But also because it’s inhumane. How the fuck is it not unconstitutional?
