Ugh. So as an update....it took this guy 15 minutes to die, in convulsions.
How incompetent are they? This is just ridiculous. It's not like you can give him an overdose for God's sake.
The actual mechanism of death would have been apnea-the patient not breathing. That takes some time (Im a paramedic and have seen it up close many times).
He couldnt feel or think during this time due to the types of drugs he received, followed by the rapid loss of brain function from hypoxia. People gurgle and seize when they die sometimes. Its not about how it looks to us that should matter, in any case.
Would it have made you feel better to have given him a paralytic shortly after the lethal drugs? Im guessing yes-but that would mean this is about how YOU feel rather than the patient, wouldnt it?
