The only reason this one has taken so long is because the executioners were unable to find a vein for lethal injection. They spent two hours.
Should've called me.
Do you charge by the hour or by piece?
Can they afford you?Also curious ... do you have to be certified to carry out the procedure to fulfill a death sentence? If so, what is that certification?

Yes
Can they afford you?
NoProbably, now that I'm retired and I could use a little walking-around cash.

No clue.

Is Nitrogen in tires worth the trouble or expense? Sometimes.
When?
When the expense is zero.
When the trouble is zero.
See the AAA for more.@George-K said in An Experiment:
Perhaps not "the same,"
Yes, exactly.

Why the hell don’t they put in a central line (femoral, jugular) if they can’t get a peripheral vein. If u put local in the puncture site it won’t be painful. That’s what I would do if they paid me to be the professional potassium injector.
I think $10K per execution would be fair. -
I think they have determined K is cruel and unusual?

If given alone, I can see it being cruel and unusual.
We used to joke about the "Texas penal anesthetic":
- Pentothal
- Pancuronium
- Potassium
Effective, reliable, and always successful - if you can find a vein.

The problem is finding a practitioner who would do that. Even finding a doc to administer whatever cocktail you choose can be hard, even if you find a vein.
Then, I'm sure some attorney would argue that putting in an IJ line is "cruel and unusual." At the university, we always put them in with the patient awake.
ETA: I had a classmate who offed himself with an injection of KCl...

Just send them into a doctor's office without a mask, during covid season.
That should do it.
Make sure...Make them take the jab, too!
