Anna Methadone Doc -- That's Entertainment

Posted Feb 15th 2007 10:54AM by TMZ Staff

The doctor who prescribed methadone to a very pregnant Anna Nicole Smith to a phony name and had it shipped to the Bahamas -- has an interesting medical practice.

TMZ broke the story that Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who practices in Los Angeles, wrote a prescription for methadone on August 25, 13 days before Anna Nicole gave birth.

TMZ searched the internet and found a description of Dr. Kapoor's practice in an advertisement for someone who has worked "in an outpatient based settling." In the description of his practice, Dr. Kapoor lists "Entertainment Medicine."


Ad from Kapoor
TMZ contacted St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica which caters to celebrities, and a spokesman there said he had never heard of "Entertainment Medicine."

1. He should be ashamed... he should be more profesionnal. I have doubt that not all doctors are created equal...

2. Someone needs to investigate the prescribing practice that Dr. Kanpoor had for ANS. Judging from the parade photo, he has probably been prescribing narcotics for her in fairly large amounts for almost two years. This is clearly unacceptable medical practice. ANS did not have a severe chronic pain indication such as inoperable cancer.

All anyone has to do is file a complaint with the California Medical Board. (google for it). All their actions are public, and they are obligated to open an investigation on each complaint. I think having a couple hundred people complain about this might get some open daylight on a a dark, dirty medical secret that these scummy doctors call "Entertainment Medicine" - obviously it's selling prescriptions in inappriate quantities and for inappropriate or non-existant medical conditons to celebrities and those with money.

Let's all file complaints.

3. Kapoor and Kidnapper-Stern contributed to Anna's death -- there is NO DOUBT about that.

5. LOL!! Internal Medicine is a specialty - like being a surgeon or a neurologist. This would be funny except for the fact that people like ANS are drug seeking and getting their fix from these shamans. An internal medicine specialist would be involved in assessing a person's fitness for surgery, and believe me, the internists I work with would never have deemed ANS fit for surgery. This woman had a caesarian, cosmetic procedures, and a drug addiction and no credible medical professional would have prescribed or operated on her because of the risk to her life and now she's dead. A lot of people have a lot to answer for. HKS wasn't her only enabler. If one good thing comes out of her life and death it would be the exposure and tighter regulations aimed at shutting down these quacks.

10. Kapoor appears to possess very serious and legitimate credentials. A Sandeep Kapoor received his board certification in internal medicine in 2000, with a further certification in geriatric medicine in 2002. This is right on track with a 1996 graduation from medical school. Of course, Anna Nicole Smith is not elderly, she only dates the elderly, which puts Kapoor's role in this case into a very different light.

11. Now's the time for some bright person to send this horrid information to the proper government authorities and Anna's family.

12. individuals should contact Dr. Sandeep Kapoor via email at skapoor@sbcglobal.net or fax at 818-762-1167

13. Lets not be so quick to judge. Maybe Anna Nicole was not on Methadone...MAYBE it was HOAWRD K STERN who got the drugs shipped because he planned on giving it to Daniel. I think Anna Nicole was so out of it, she had no clue what was going on. It would make sense for that scum Stern to have it shipped down in her name ( or aliases ). He planned on offing Daniel. But if anything came of it, he could blame the doctor who prescribed it.

The entire thing is a crime, and American is just letting it happen. I trust God and justice today...give Dannilynne back to her REAL father, give Anna back to her real mother so she may be buried with her son Daniel.

Howard K Stern needs the death penalty...this reeks of OJ and Scott Peterson.

And..people need to boycott Entertainment Tonight, Mark Stienman and Mary Hart. I cannot believe they are promoting Howard K Stern and using all their media savvy to gain sympathy for him.
