I work in healthcare, I don't know anyone in my field who would think executions are something they would be willing to apply their skills towards. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ManosTheHandsOfFate@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I bet some phlebotomists could be convinced. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, but they're typically only trained to take blood. You wouldn't want one trying to insert an IV on ya or anything. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ManosTheHandsOfFate@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Better than someone with no "real medical training." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago Yeah, prob better than nothing.

Something tells me the state isn't paying a whole bunch of bonuses to people on the execution team. permalink fedilink source parent
