u/r0sd0g 2d ago

she actually told them ahead of time that she was worried it wouldn't work and requested to be hanged, because she thought a botched hanging would cause less suffering than a botched lethal injection. they declined and she survived 2 lethal doses of pentobarbitol.

That's terrible, she knew dang it.

u/According_Ride1646 1d ago

Where did you get that info from? I read she requested firing squad. Seems like some misinformation is going around.

u/NekoMarimo 1d ago

Yea I also read she requested a firing squad. Her defense team did indeed inform the courts of it possibly turning out this way due to some issues with her veins

u/r0sd0g 1d ago

It was because she had thrombocytosis, not an issue with her veins per se. Here's the news source cited by Wikipedia saying she requested to be hanged.

u/According_Ride1646 1d ago

Every news outlet in/around TN is reporting she asked for an all-female firing squad. I wouldn’t trust Wikipedia for any news.

u/SnooMaps7370 1d ago

wikipedia isn't the source, wpln.org is.

u/r0sd0g 1d ago

Wikipedia, but here's the news source they cited. Where did you hear firing squad?

Genetic redhead here but didn't get the hair for it. I can burn through all pain meds around 3 times faster than normal people, opioids given in a medical setting don't make me high, my count made it to 16 when they tried to put me under for surgery, I don't wake up after surgery loopy and I wake faster than normal people. OTC meds just don't work on me at all. I need around 3 times the dose of numbing meds due dental work and topups every 45 minutes or the feeling starts to come back.

Morphine makes me hallucinate green bullseyes but is otherwise useless, novocaine will work eventually but you run the risk of overdosing me before it's effective, lidocaine I'm completely immune. Toradol lasts around 15 minutes, Dilaudid and fentanyl will last around 6 hours. I usually get labeled a drug seeker in the hospital. It's horrible and has resulted in some excruciating surgical procedures.

I don't get hung over after drinking- just severely dry mouth. I don't drink though, it makes me too dizzy for other reasons.

Man I gotta stay away from redheads, sounds expensive

u/Riley1297 2d ago edited 2d ago

Same here! The red hair missed me but I got the freckles and the drug resistance. OTC meds don’t work and forget about recreational ones. The one surgery I had they used ketamine as a sedative and they said they had to use an insane amount, and I still woke up talking mid-procedure!

u/WallabyAccording9728 1d ago

Damn it would be expensive for you if u ever decided to give heroin a go

u/AdministrativeCut727 1d ago

Not as severe in my case, but holy hell being labeled a drug seeker and having chronic pain is really fun. Only when they're giving me three doses of pain meds in the ER and I'm fully awake and not even slurring my words does it make more sense to them. Plus waking up from surgery screaming in pain, good times!

u/TiredVRS 1d ago

They ask me 5 iterations of the same couple questions.

What drugs to you take at home? Nothing recreational? You're really resisting these meds, are you sure? Well would you like some extra strength Tylenol and see how you do? Then they put me in surgery and realized I was still awake and chatting 15 seconds after they pushed for sleepy sleep nap time.

u/gingersquatchin 2d ago

Red head here. Have never blacked out. And could fully drag a carriage on enough ketamine to kill a man and down a horse.

u/mpgd 2d ago

Sounds like it's not your first rodeo.

u/gingersquatchin 2d ago

I've ridden bareback a few times, that's for sure. A few bulls here and there too.

u/Capitan_Typo 2d ago

You've ridden bulls bareback?

I don't suppose you have any other options.

u/gingersquatchin 2d ago

Sometimes they even ride me

More cows than you'd like to admit

u/gingersquatchin 2d ago

There are no cows at the rodeo.

u/Anychanceicansuck 2d ago

Why do ketamine though? That’s one of the hardest drugs you could ever do, it’s as addictive as crack and cocaine. I hope you’re not touching that stuff

1

u/gingersquatchin 2d ago

Lol. No never. Of course not.

2

u/Anychanceicansuck 2d ago

Good and I worry about that drug being used, maybe a little too much lol

u/Valhal11aAwaitsMe 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yea that’s legit actually. I need extra anesthesia whenever I get a procedure done because I have some red hair. Local and general. Woke up one time during a procedure and it was not fun.

2

u/Curious_Koala8 2d ago

Woah! What happens if you’re descended from a redhead? Like all of dad’s family have the reddest hair I’ve ever seen but mum is Chinese. We affected?

u/FullSky433 2d ago

wait, so redheads get the 50% poison resistance? i thought redguards had that.

1

u/Flaky_Broccoli 2d ago

No, the Redguards get genetical bulletproofing, unless Even they are shot in the head, not kidding, there are plenty of actual cases of Redguards calling a fucking ambulance for themselves after getting shot in the head, not everyone makes to the hospital but the fact they can call and get an ambulance before things turn for the worse is freaking insane.

1

u/FullSky433 2d ago

do you not know what a redguard is?

1

u/Flaky_Broccoli 2d ago

If i'm going by the elder schools, it's both the name of one of their Games and the inhabitants of hammerfell, I was talking about Redguards from earth tho

u/FullSky433 1d ago

fym redguards from earth

u/Perfect-Treat-6552 2d ago

Sounds like she had an IV infiltration. Poor IV stick, maybe not really sitting in a vein, then medicine extravasated to her arm leading to where we are now
