Complaint accuses doctor involved in failed Tennessee execution of violating ethics

Tonya Hervey, sister of death row inmate Tony Carruthers, filed a complaint against Dr. Mark Fowler for violating medical ethics during a failed Tennessee execution. The execution was halted after IV insertion issues caused Carruthers visible distress, and the governor granted a one-year reprieve. The complaint alleges Fowler administered lidocaine without allergy checks, continued procedures despite Carruthers' agony, and lacked recent qualifications for central line placement.
