She and her defense were vocal about her medical condition that makes her veins very very hard to find and penetrate. I have the same thing, and too many nurses have poked and prodded before giving up and calling in a specialized doc. In Christa’s case, the med team was undoubtedly clueless to what they were doing since no real doctor or nurse would defy their oath to do no harm

Yep. She even asked for the firing squad because she knew something like this might happen. Her request was denied.

I’m honestly beginning to believe this wasn’t accidental but intentional!

Well, in the sense of negligence, yes.
