ANS was supposed to submit to a DNA test that theoretically could have been used to check for drug use. Saliva drug tests can detect recent opiate use accurately and that may have been their fear.
If this was the case that might have been a motivation for a quick detox off of methadone using the chloral hydrate.
If they started in the Bahamas and she couldn’t keep the chloral hydrate they may have tried to inject it. I don’t think Dr. KE has a lot of experience with drugs as her specialty was being a work comp drug whore.
An injection is almost a certain abscess...
“An injection is almost a certain abscess...”
Thanks for the timeline of the “pressures”HKS and KE faced in detoxing ANS. So, then what you’ve said is probabaly true about it causing an abcess.
An injection of CH would certainly produce an abcess.
That possibility is mentioned in almost every site. Acidic, irritating stuff. I just wonder if KE and HKS were dumb enough to have injected Chloral hydrate that was in an oral suspension form. That certainly wouldn’t have been sterile enough to use as an injectable. Even if it were sterile for injection, as you point out it would have produced an abcess by virtue of it’s acidity.
You think they were dumb enough to inject an oral suspension or solution of Chloral hydrate?
This was reported on February 8, the day ANS died:

Anna Nicole Smith has been ordered to submit her baby daughter to a DNA test by February 21 in an effort to end the dispute over who the baby's biological father is.
Birkhead had petitioned for drug tests for both of them in October. With the results of the DNA test, the drug tests would probably have followed.
