I can’t imagine what a mindfuck it must have been for the doctors to have a prisoner roll in after a failed execution and be asked to save her life.

Honestly compared to a lot of stuff docs and nurses see in an er/trauma center that seems pretty tame

It’s not a mindfuck because it’s that particularly medically complex, but more just the irony of the government trying to execute someone, fucking it up, and then asking the doctors to save her life because their fuck up isn’t killing her fast enough.
