Greta - did they say they hid the drugs? ME: I got the impression they kept it away from her......
Dr. Baden now on - Obviously they were not monitoring her appropriately (Chloral Hydrate) - that is a huge overdose - about 30 times the normal dose to sleep - of CH.....
Dr. KE has to have a record of why she gave the CH, the dosage, etc.....we don't know if she has such a record.
Dr. Baden - Chloral hydrate is probably ok in small amounts- it's less addictive than other sleeping meds - but if you have a patient who is addicted to several drugs - you have to get them into treatment.....
Dr. Baden - when she was found at 1:00 - she was obviously dead - she wasn't breathing.....3 hrs after Stern said he took her to the bathroom.
Then they did CPR for 40 mins before calling for EMS.
Greta - if she took the CH at 10:00 AM - could she have died within 1 hr? Is there a way to know that? Baden yes - she would have gone into a gradual coma maybe an hour or two - so I think she would have been dead by about noon - because she didn't have the rigor mortis that would be there if she had been dead a lot longer......
Greta: If you have the flu, if a doctor had been called, do you think CH would have been given by a doctor to help her sleep in the middle of the day? Baden - it's possible - but NOT IN THAT DOSAGE......
Dr. KE will have to explain why she prescribed such a dosage - Greta - but the patient could have abused it (the CH) - Baden - or whoever was with her could have abused it by giving her too much.
