One doctor ordered Anna Nicole’s drugs
Psychiatrist prescribed 11 meds found after death
April 5, 2007
MIAMI — One doctor authorized all 11 prescription medications found in Anna Nicole Smith’s hotel room the day the Playboy Playmate died of a drug overdose, according to documents released by the medical examiner’s office Wednesday.
More than 600 pills — including about 450 muscle relaxants — were missing from prescriptions no more than five weeks old. It was unclear if Smith took all of them.
Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, a psychiatrist and friend of the starlet, authorized all the prescription medications in the Hollywood, Fla., hotel room where Smith was found unresponsive shortly before her death Feb. 8, the medical examiner’s office said. Eroshevich could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Most of the drugs were prescribed in the name of Howard K. Stern, her lawyer-turned-companion; none were in Smith’s own name, according to documents.

I think, in Annas's case, it was done so they could get through customs with the patient and doctor right there.
Can someone ask Greta? I haven't been able to get an email to her. Thanks.
Los Angeles-based shrink Dr. Khristine Eroshevich penned prescriptions for all 11 medications found in the tragic model’s Florida hotel room after her death, the documents from the Broward County medical examiner show.
More than 600 pills were missing from the prescriptions written to Smith - although it wasn’t clear if the former Playboy Playmate of the Year downed all of them.
The powerful sleeping aid chloral hydrate, the medication blamed for tipping the balance in the toxic mix of drugs and causing her death, was prescribed on Jan. 2, the record show.
Eroshevich was briefly in Smith’s traveling party during the model’s stay in Florida, but left before her death.
The doctor could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Eroshevich, who was graduated from Ohio State’s medical school and was first issued a license to practice in 1978, has no record of disciplinary action, according to the California medical board.
In other developments yesterday, auctioneers in Dallas said the diaries of a young, insecure Smith will be sold to the highest bidder next week in her native Texas. The items will share the spotlight with mementos from Elvis Presley and Ava Gardner.
Heritage Auction Galleries will sell the journals on April 14 during its Spring Music and Entertainment Auction, which includes a Presley guitar and belongings of screen legend Gardner. Heritage auctioneers are selling Smith’s journals, penned between 1992 and 1994, for a German man who just purchased them last week for $512,500 on eBay. “This is going to be great,” said Doug Norwine, director of music and entertainment memorabilia for the auction house.
Smith’s former boyfriend, L.A. photographer Larry Birkhead, is suing Stern, claiming to be the girl’s father. A Bahamian judge ordered a representative from the lab that conducted DNA tests of Dannielynn and Birkhead to be in court next Tuesday, when it’s expected lawyers will learn the results.
