Idaho halts execution by lethal injection after 8 failed attempts to insert IV line - Lemmy.ca

Im not a dan of the death penalty, but how the fuck do you mess up injecting someone.
It can really tricky to locate a vein on some people, especially if they are dehydrated (and this inmate might know this). A competent person with medical training and experience can always find a vein, but I would conjecture the prison system hires barely qualified folks for this job.
Are medical doctors actually allowed to be prison executioners?

I think it violates their code of ethics and they might lose their license. I guess the prison could hire a doctor or nurse who already lost their license for other reasons.

Whole thing is a shit show.
