if she was given potassium - would that temporarily artifically elevate levels to ‘normal’?

why would anyone need rx potassium?

Whoever was taking Lasix (diuretic) needed their potassium to be replaced.

‘’’’why would anyone need rx potassium? ‘’’

There are different types of potassium drugs. This one, is
Klor-Con which is potassium chloride.
diuretics can cause low potassium. SOME quacks RX them together to prevent low potassium from occurring. However, a really good doc would prescribe the diuretics and check the potassium levels rather than dump drugs without knowing. It is an age old argument. Anyway,this one is sometimes prescribed in relation to some specific high blood pressure cases.

Since it is the only one in KE’s name, it could also actually be her own RX too. Dr Death wouldn’t self medicate, how foolish of me, that would be against the law.
