Celebrity Justice
Medical Board Investigates Second Anna Doc

Posted Apr 5th 2007 10:54AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has just confirmed the California Medical Board is conducting a formal investigation into Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, Anna's psychiatrist who prescribed numerous drugs that Anna ended up taking.

Eleven drugs were found in the hotel room where Anna died, all prescribed by Eroshevich. Eight were prescribed to Howard K. Stern, including chloral hydrate, the drug that was the most direct cause of Anna's death.

This is the second Anna doc who is being investigated for prescribing practices involving Anna Nicole Smith. The Board is also investigating Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who prescribed methadone to Smith under an alias when she was eight months pregnant.

Last September, just five days after Daniel died, a document shows that Dr. Eroshevich sent Dr. Kapoor a prescription wish list for Anna, which included methadone, Soma, Dilaudid and Lorazepam. Kapoor has said he did not fill the prescriptions.

5. It's a known fact that celebrities can get prescription drugs whenever they want it whether or not they have a real illness. They use the drugs to get high legally. If this one doc goes down, there will be ten more lined up to take her place.

Wonder if this will lead to more information.

Will she turn on Stern to get off the hook? .

7. Great news!!! It's about time she is investigated. Maybe justice will prevail for Anna Nicole.
I just had a feeling that this case was not closed for good. HK$ is being investigated behind the scenes also.

9. I also heard on CourtTv this morning that the doctor that performed the original autopsy on Daniel(the Bahamian doctor) is in FLorida speaking to authorities! Dr. Wecht is not on the witness list for Daniel's inquest (according to CourtTv).

10. TMZ: your wording always seems to favor Stern, RIGHT or WRONG?

Why do you say in this article:
...... drugs that Anna ended up taking.

Do you, TMZ, rule out that someone forced those drugs into Anna? Perhaps holding her nose to make her swollow drugs while she was unable to take meds?
Why would you assume SHE took the drugs that ended her life?

14. Anna was a grown woman, if she took Stern's pills then that was her own fault. Don't try to make it seem like he tied her up and force fed the pills to her.

15. It will all come out in the end. It may take a while but the ones who deserve to be punished will. You can't hide from the truth.
