Christa Pike was “angry and confused” in the hours after regaining consciousness following Tennessee’s failed execution attempt, first asking, “Where am I?” her lawyer said Wednesday.
Pike, believed to be the first person to survive after receiving lethal injection drugs during an execution, stunningly woke up as plans were being made to remove her from life support, just six days after she was strapped to a gurney in the death chamber, said attorney Randy Spivey.
“But on Tuesday, to the shock of everyone … Christa woke up and began talking,” Spivey said.
You died. Welcome to hell. It’s the same as when you were alive.
What a terrific and underrated show
Rightfully pissed.
Yeah, I bet she is.

Yeah I imagine I’d be pretty pissed off too
It’s not clear from the article if she’s angry at what happened (rightly) or angry and confused as a state of conciousness.
When my dad regained conciousness from a stroke he was angry and confused for days. He’s an absolute sweetie and had to be tied down.
I’d be pissed too especially because if I recall correctly she requested a different method of execution which was denied and then they went and fucked this up. :/
The state was made aware well in advance of this that she had a medical condition that was going to prevent the lethal injection from working.
They knew that this was the only possible outcome but went ahead anyway because performative cruelty is the core conservative value.
If only someone would perform cruelty on them.
