Outcry after Oklahoma prisoner vomits and convulses during execution | Oklahoma | The Guardian
“Almost immediately after the drug was administered, Grant began convulsing, so much so that his entire upper back repeatedly lifted off the gurney,” Snyder reported. “As the convulsions continued, Grant then began to vomit. Multiple times over the course of the next few minutes medical staff entered the death chamber to wipe away and remove vomit from the still-breathing Grant.”
It took 15 minutes for Grant to be declared unconscious by medical staff, after which the vecuronium bromide, which paralyses the body, and potassium chloride, which stops the heart, were given.
On Twitter, Snyder gave his response to the state’s official claim that all had gone according to plan. “As a witness to the execution who was in the room, I’ll say this: repeated convulsions and extensive vomiting for nearly 15 minutes would not seem to be ‘without complication’.”
Accounts of the botched execution of Grant, who was being put to death for the murder in 1998 of a prison cafeteria worker while he was already serving a sentence for armed robberies, will come as a deep embarrassment for Oklahoma. No judicial killings have taken place in the state since 2015 after a spate of botched procedures caused widespread alarm and forced the authorities to review their use of lethal injection drugs.
In 2018, officials in the state went as far as to announce they would abandon lethal injections entirely, due to the protocol’s lack of transparency and to the inhumane executions that had taken place. But in August the state reversed that decision, saying it would resume executions without giving an explanation for the U-turn or revealing critical details about how it intended to carry out the killings.
The state’s six-year hiatus was prompted in part by the execution in 2014 of Clayton Lockett, who writhed and groaned on the gurney for 43 minutes before he was declared dead after the intravenous line through which the lethal drugs were delivered was inserted improperly. The gruesome descriptions of his death by eyewitnesses in the Guardian and elsewhere caused nationwide revulsion.
The following year the state used the wrong drug to kill Charles Warner. In the wake of these botched procedures a bipartisan commission reviewed the state’s death penalty system and issued a highly critical report that called for the moratorium on capital punishment to be extended.

“40 seconds guaranteed!”
What was Charlie talking about, now? The singing had stopped, replaced by a few screams, here and there.
“We have to do it, quick!”
A large Police van had just pulled up, and was starting to load the women in, shoving most of them none too gently up and through the door. One had fallen over, and she lay half in, half out of the van. A burly officer had drawn his arm into a curl, ready to backhand her. The woman appeared to be cringing in fetal position where she’d fallen in the doorway.
This looked sub-optimal. If the shit hit the fan, nobody would believe them without proof. Adagio pulled out that new Android he’d gotten for his name day. Time to figure out how to film on this thing. Another officer was…

Pressure ulcers: what is right is not always popular – Chen Song Ping
Google translation:
Pressure ulcers : What is right is not always welcome.
I am not proud of writing this article. When friends ask for help; their relatives are discharged from the hospital with pressure ulcers…
“My mother is bedridden. Please keep her dry and turn around regularly. …let her skin crumble.” “It’s too harsh and impossible; …because we are understaffed!” The right things are not always common. use. However, some hospitals can maintain a zero pressure ulcer rate among their bedridden clients.
“Since five years ago, I have been in a wheelchair and my hips don’t have any ulcers. What do you know? The therapist showed me a picture-an ugly pressure ulcer!!! I tried not to develop one!”
“We take turns to take care of our mother in the hospital. Change her when she gets dirty, often turn her around with the help of the staff.”
What is generally done is not always correct. Unfortunately, pressure ulcers did develop during their hospital stay. Preventing pressure ulcers is a multidisciplinary responsibility (physician, physiotherapist, dietitian, nurse), although nurses play an important role.
Do you agree that family members and caregivers should also play a role in preventing pressure ulcers?
The spokesperson said: “First of all, pressure ulcers should not be allowed to develop. Because it takes a long journey to heal this “wound”!” … to prevent her skin from collapsing. “
