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.

Anna’s doc pal real pill
By AP
MIAMI — One doctor authorized all 11 prescription medications found in Anna Nicole Smith’s hotel room the day she died of a drug overdose, according to documents released by the medical examiner’s office.
More than 600 pills — including about 450 muscle relaxants — were missing from prescriptions that were no more than five weeks old, according to information obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request yesterday.
Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, a psychiatrist and friend, authorized all the medications in the room where Smith was found on Feb. 8.
62 VALIUM IN 2 WEEKS
The powerful sleeping aid chloral hydrate, the drug blamed with tipping the balance and causing her death, was prescribed Jan. 2. About two-thirds of the bottle was gone. And 62 Valium tablets were missing from a prescription less than two weeks old.
None of the drugs were prescribed in Smith’s own name. Eight were issued under in the name of Howard K. Stern, her companion; one under Eroshevich’s name; and two were under the name of Alex Katz. Katz’s identity is unknown.
The documents did not mention methadone or Ativan, both of which were found in Smith’s system. Also missing from the report was who prescribed human growth hormone, the muscle-building, weight-reducing agent Smith was taking.

“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.”
Disciplinary action during residency is not necessarily noted in someone’s record. ‘Someone’, for instance, can be dismissed from their residency in Ohio without prosecution and then just ‘up and go’ to somewhere like, say, California and then get pink slipped from their job there for patient improprieties. The later, of course, would be public record. I wonder if there is any way to research if the first is true. If so, sounds like a way of life to me, considering she was married to someone with a record like Dr. Bahou had. Wonder what might have cause her to ‘pick up and go’ from his life? IMO, finding her at the center of this case comes at no surprise, all things ‘picking up and going’ considered. Boy, she sure does know when to exit, and while she may be hiding, I think the sh** is going to hit the fan and she’s in deep doo doo this time. Maybe she’ll turn on HKS too.
That is not true -- is it?
