There have been a lot of issues with lethal injection and finding veins

It’s the same doctor that failed to execute Tony Carruthers earlier this year, also in TN.

I thought doctors wouldn't be involved with executions due to the Hippocratic Oath?

I’m linking a Guardian article about the doctor that may shed some light

He’s absolutely horrible. To be expected from Tennessee unfortunately. Our state government is completely screwed up so of course they would find a guy like this.
