“You think they were dumb enough to inject an oral suspension or solution of Chloral hydrate?”
Yes. Given ANS’s condition that morning...I personally don’t believe she had the ability to chug down the stuff orally. I’ve said from the get go, CH can be injected and probably was. Though I believe it would have required a larger needle, no? And, IIRC, wasn’t there some information somewhere about larger needles?

It certainly could have been, it wouldn’t have been sterile, it was only an oral suspension. I don’t know about the needles. I just can’t imagine even a desparate doctor or RN injecting a non-sterile oral solution into a person’s muscle. However, street addicts do this kind of dumb stuff themselves, but like you said, ANS was probably too out of it to even hit the bottle. Maybe HKS would have drawn it up (simple) and injected it (simple again). I think an MD or RN would have been really scared to inject a non-sterile oral suspension or solution into someone.
