Thinking about Perper's questions about an alcohol swab. ANS symptoms sound a lot like septicemia, not the flu. Addicts using dirty needles can contract the blood poisoning. Without quick treatment, she'd be a goner. Some septicemia symptoms are fever (sudden onset, often spiking), chills, toxic looking, cyanotic (blue), unresponsive, petechiae (pinpoint rash-like). So, Perper's looking at an unintentional death scenario. I think the various police depts are looking into the doctors for their script-writing, but not at homocide. Murder is apparently evident only to us Freepers.
