Anne Nicole Smith's Doctors Were Warned

“Pharmaceutical suicide” is being linked to Anna Nicole Smith’s death, according to the article, Anna Nicole Smith’s doctors were warned.
Three pharmacists refused to fill the prescriptions and warned the doctors about how deadly the drugs are. The drugs included an anti-inflammatory drug, four bottles of a strong painkiller, two sedatives, a muscle relaxer, and 300 tablets of methadone.
Next month a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Smith’s boyfriend and her physicians in reference to whether or not Smith was illegally provided controlled substances, which lead to her death.
This is a story that hits very close to home for myself. My father passed away almost to years ago due to an overdose from prescription drugs. I have always wondered how it is so easy for doctors to write out prescriptions to people who don’t need to be taking all of the medicine they are being prescribed. After my father passed away I found out that two of the drugs in his system when taken together could lead to a fatality. Unfortunately justice was not served for the doctors who were prescribing large amounts of prescription drugs to my father. Hopefully the case will be different for Smith’s family and if she was prescribed the wrong amount of drugs justice will be served.
