Complaint accuses doctor involved in failed Tennessee execution of violating ethics

A complaint has been filed against Dr. Mark Fowler for allegedly violating medical ethics during a failed Tennessee execution of Tony Carruthers. The complaint claims Fowler caused Carruthers excruciating pain and potential partial paralysis by administering lidocaine without allergy testing and continuing procedures despite visible distress. The execution was halted by Gov. Bill Lee, who granted Carruthers a one-year reprieve.
