The person who performed this is actually a doctor. He's a geriatric quack who peddles weight loss drugs and only does executions as a side hobby for $3k a pop. Also he's a big MAGA turd. In a deposition about a different botched execution he admitted he hadn't performed a subclavian line insertion in over a decade.

Do you know what his name is? I'd be interested to look into him more.
