    Someone else mentioned in another comment here that medical professionals can’t purposely kill someone because of their oath, so I’m guessing the people administering these execution methods are literally unqualified to do them.

      I’d argue that a doctor would also be unqualified, since their entire qualification revolves around not killing people.
      But yeah, one major problem with the death penalty is that it is carried out by people who have no education or training in that matter.
      No one goes to school to learn the trade of an executioner.
