Anna’s doc pal real pill
By AP
MIAMI — One doctor authorized all 11 prescription medications found in Anna Nicole Smith’s hotel room the day she died of a drug overdose, according to documents released by the medical examiner’s office.
More than 600 pills — including about 450 muscle relaxants — were missing from prescriptions that were no more than five weeks old, according to information obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request yesterday.
Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, a psychiatrist and friend, authorized all the medications in the room where Smith was found on Feb. 8.
62 VALIUM IN 2 WEEKS
The powerful sleeping aid chloral hydrate, the drug blamed with tipping the balance and causing her death, was prescribed Jan. 2. About two-thirds of the bottle was gone. And 62 Valium tablets were missing from a prescription less than two weeks old.
None of the drugs were prescribed in Smith’s own name. Eight were issued under in the name of Howard K. Stern, her companion; one under Eroshevich’s name; and two were under the name of Alex Katz. Katz’s identity is unknown.
The documents did not mention methadone or Ativan, both of which were found in Smith’s system. Also missing from the report was who prescribed human growth hormone, the muscle-building, weight-reducing agent Smith was taking.

Dannielynn Today: ET's Exclusive Update
Howard K. Stern's family blasts reports that Anna Nicole's baby girl is unhealthy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Headlines claim that ANNA NICOLE SMITH's daughter, DANNIELYNN, is underweight and not thriving. BONNIE and GARY STERN -- HOWARD K. STERN's sister and brother -- are with Anna's baby girl today, and they say that's just not true!
"Dannielynn is doing absolutely beautifully," Gary tells ET. "Her weight is perfect, her height is perfect, and she's meeting all her developmental milestones," he adds. "I went to her sixth-month check-up with Howard and my mother, and she had a beautiful report."
"Her hair is filling in and it's changing color," Bonnie adds. "It's turning brown, and she has two bottom teeth that are coming in the front."
Dannielynn is starting to roll over and trying to sit up on her own. She also loves to take baths, and her favorite food is applesauce.
Bonnie can see the resemblance between the little girl and her famous mom more and more every day.
"You know, she looks like mini-Anna," she says. "She really does. She's got her little sweetheart lips and her blue eyes."
