The Doctor Who Scored Methadone for Anna Nicole

Posted Feb 14th 2007 5:09PM by TMZ Staff

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor was by Anna Nicole's side when she participated in West Hollywood's Gay Pride Parade back in 2005. He also prescribed methadone when Smith was eight months pregnant.

TMZ obtained documents which show that on August 25, 2006, just 13 days before Smith gave birth, Dr. Kapoor wrote a prescription for methadone. The prescription, RX#2846735, was written for Michelle Chase. TMZ has learned that Michelle Chase was an alias Anna Nicole used. Under California law, it's illegal to prescribe a controlled substance to a false name.

That same day, Key Pharmacy in the San Fernando Valley filled the prescription and sent it to "Vicky Marshall" (sic) in the Bahamas. Vickie Marshall is Anna Nicole's legal name.

TMZ contacted Dr. Kapoor, a 1996 graduate of Boston University School of Medicine, who said, "No comment."

TMZ also contacted Key Pharmacy. The owner said patient privacy laws prevent him from commenting.

2. Dr Kapoor should lose his medical license, if all this is verified.

4. There will definetly be an investigation into this. Someone could have miss represented themselves as Michelle Chase and filled the drug and sent it to Anna

5. Sandeep is in big trouble if this is true. I hope not. Maybe HK$ can defend him......oh yeah, he is big trouble also. Well the house of cards is tumbling down.

6. okay, where are all the nutjobs to defend her??? You know, saying things like, "poor anna, her life was so hard she had to turn to drugs", or "methadone is safe to use during pregnancy" or "that probably is a fake prescription, a fake doctor and a fake pharmacy" She was what she was, a drugged out whore, who was a terrible mother.

7. TMZ, you guys are kicking butt on the ANS reporting! Great investigation!

That's so messed up if she was taking drugs while pregnant. I don't want to think Anna Nicole was a horrible person, but evidence like this is making it pretty difficult!

8. You guys are kidding, right? She's the one who took it!

9. Wow, look whats coming out. I do expect Dr. Kapoor to loose that medical license of his. ANS sure does have some "magical" powers. Getting Bahamian Residency, getting illegal prescriptions, etc. Being a mother I can not understand why someone would abuse drugs even when pregnant. I hope the baby doesnt have any developmental delays due to the drug and alcohol use.

10. If the RX was written for Michelle Chase, why did the pharmacy fill in the name of Vicky Marshall?????? Confused here!

11. Hey VL, I'm not jealous of unloved desperate dead people.

12. Wait, I thought HKS was "the supplier." Guess not. Everyone just needs to sit back and see what the end result is. I'm sure it will be completely different than what most of you think. It's hilarious how everyone has jumped to their own conclusions that HKS masterminded all of this when they have no idea what the true facts are. Lighten up judgemental people.

13. UH OH...Somebody's about to lose his medical license. The issue will not only be that he knowingly provided the 'done to a false name, but under what circumstances did he prescribe it? He must have known she was obviously abusing it. Look how high she is in the very picture the Dr. is in!

14. Man this sher girl is really jealous of Anna. Every board I read theres the name SHER. You are one jealous skank. You act like she was with your husband.
This script does look fake. I work in a Doctor's office, and this is just not how Doctors work.

15. NO WONDER LARRY HAS FOUGHT SO HARD TO GET HIS DAUGHTER WITH HER MOTHER BEING ON METHODONE WHILE PREGNANT...I AM POSITIVE THAT MORE WILL BE OUT IN THE OPEN SOON!...I WONDER IF THE BABY WAS BORN ADDICTED AND THAT IS WHY ANNA AND HOWARD HAVE FOUGHT SO HARD AGAINST THE DNA TEST IN CALIF. WOULD THEY HAVE TESTED THE BABY FOR DRUGS IN HER SYSTEM AT THAT TIME?
