Don't we have some state physician whose name we know and who won't lose patients doing this?

JHC! This is ridiculous. Firing squad, or you insist on drugs, a valium followed by morphine or sodium pentothal. The endless back and forth is driving me nuts. The very idea that TWO doctors need to give testimony about giving an injection is idiotic. A vet tech will do just fine.
11:09–You're right, but it's even more fundamental than that.
As 12:40 points out, it's all a bunch of noise signifying absolutely nothing, so we can and should all tune it out.
Doesn't matter whether a physician is needed to inject the drug(or otherwise opine on its reliability and effectiveness), or whether some other medically trained specialist will suffice.
Issue is much more basic than that. Issue is no one will be injecting Zane Floyd with anything–at least not for an additional decade or two, if ever.

Can anyone recommend a practice guide/handbook/ or manual for criminal defense in Nevada? The bar and other publications offer so many on other practice areas, but I can seem to find a good criminal defense one. Any recommendations are appreciated!
Sorry Zane, it's probably a little late for that now.

Any news on Zane Floyd's(supposedly) pending execution is non-news as it will never occur.
I'm not discussing whether Nevada should maintain the death penalty, or whether it should occur in this case.
It's simply a matter that it will not occur. Floyd committed his murders in 1999 and his supposed execution is still a big issue which apparently warrants millions in fees for legal proceedings on both sides(time that could much better spent elsewhere), a lot of pointless media attention, etc.
And worse than the Floyd situation, is Nevada still has people on death row from the 1970's and 1980's.
So, the issue should not be framed "the two physicians overseeing Zane Floyd's execution wish to reman anonymous". A far more accurate headline or statement would be "the two physicians assigned to oversee an execution which will never occur wish to remain anonymous."
Like in many other states, all the death penalty means in Nevada is that a quarter century later that person will still be on the death row, millions of tax payer money is spent on both sides litigating such issue, and that eventually the person will die on death row.
But it's like that in a lot of states. But a couple states, like Florida and Texas, err in the other direction. They are too "efficient", thereby creating far more likelihood of error and grave injustice.
Whether it's for cost savings, moral conviction, or just pragmatism, let's just get away with the death penalty. I personally think I'd prefer execution to life w/o parole – but even if it's not preferable, it's a pretty significant punishments. I just hope he's vaxed.

I'll tell you what's way more interesting than any bench-bar meetings – I just ran out of my Alpine Village dip. I probably won't make anymore as I'm waiting for someone to post the chicken soup recipe.
I ordered the Accent seasoning from Amazon. Have never had the Alpine cottage dip. I arrived in Vegas after the Alpine restaurant. Wife asked, "What is this?" I tried to explain that a bunch of Vegas lawyers were giving rave reviews, anonymously on a blogspot page, to a cottage cheese dip from a defunct restaurant and that we had to try it. She said nothing, but the look she gave made the message clear: "The fuck you talkin' 'bout?"
Am still planning on making the Alpine cottage dip tomorrow night. Will return and report.
Can't speak for the dip, but today's business court meeting was more helpful and on-task than the majority of ordinary EJDC bench bar meetings. I hope they hold these regularly and maintain quality control, because it was actually worth attending.

I had a settlement conference scheduled for this week that the judge insisted on conducting in person. Said ignore the AO 22-02. Cancelled at the last minute due to the Court being sick. Ahem.

The jail death case sounds brutal. But can someone please explain this to me?
Jail staff should have known that Jason Dickman fit into the category, Goldstein wrote in the lawsuit, because he had been arrested about 20 times in recent years, mostly for minor charges like vandalism or failing to appear in court.
Jail staff is supposed to know someone has a mental illness if they've been arrested a bunch?

Not unusual, this was the same circumstance with Scott Dozier not getting the death penalty a couple years ago as well.
Texas is believed to have executed at least two innocent men in the last 30 or so years: Todd Willingham and Carlos DeLuna.
