              Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who practices in Los Angeles, wrote a prescription 
                for methadone on August 25, 2006, 13 days before Anna Nicole gave 
                birth. Dr. Sandeep Kapoor was by Anna Nicole’s side when 
                she participated in West Hollywood’s Gay Pride Parade back 
                in 2005
              
              
 
                Anna Nicole Smith, who was living in the Bahamas, 39, died on 
                Feb. 8 after collapsing at a Florida hotel. Her cause of death 
                is not known.
              
              Actress, model and celebrity , Anna Nicole Smith, (November 28, 
                1967 – February 8, 2007), who first gained popularity as 
                Playboy's 1993 Playmate of the Year.
              Her highly publicized marriage to oil business executive and 
                billionaire J. Howard Marshall, 63 years her senior, resulted 
                in considerable speculation that she married the octogenarian 
                merely for his money, which she denied. Following his death, she 
                began a lengthy and ongoing legal battle over a share of his estate. 
                Her case, Marshall v. Marshall reached the U.S. Supreme Court 
                on a question of federal jurisdiction.
              In the months before her death, she was the focus of renewed 
                press coverage surrounding the death of her son, Daniel Smith.
               The Medical Board of California began looking at Dr. Sandeep 
                Kapoor after receiving information about possible misconduct and 
                officially declined to give details on the allegation or its source 
                but said it was connected to Smith. Investigators reported finding 
                prescription medicines, but there were no illegal drugs in Smith's 
                hotel room, where she collapsed on Thursday. Perper also said 
                that his team "didn't find in the stomach any kind of tablets 
                or pills."
              According to the media group, TMZ, the prescription 
                was written for Michelle Chase and Key Pharmacy in the San Fernando 
                Valley filled the prescription and sent it to "Vicky Marshall" 
                (sic) in the Bahamas. Vickie Marshall is Anna Nicole's legal name....

              Methadone is a rigorously well-tested medication that is safe 
                and efficacious for the treatment of narcotic withdrawal and dependence. 
                For more than 30 years this synthetic narcotic has been used to 
                treat opioid addiction. Heroin releases an excess of dopamine 
                in the body and causes users to need an opiate continuously occupying 
                the opioid receptor in the brain. Methadone occupies this receptor 
                and is the stabilizing factor that permits addicts on methadone 
                to change their behavior and to discontinue heroin use. 
              Taken orally once a day, methadone suppresses narcotic withdrawal 
                for between 24 and 36 hours. Because methadone is effective in 
                eliminating withdrawal symptoms, it is used in detoxifying opiate 
                addicts. It is, however, only effective in cases of addiction 
                to heroin, morphine, and other opioid drugs, and it is not an 
                effective treatment for other drugs of abuse. Methadone reduces 
                the cravings associated with heroin use and blocks the high from 
                heroin, but it does not provide the euphoric rush. Consequently, 
                methadone patients do not experience the extreme highs and lows 
                that result from the waxing and waning of heroin in blood levels. 
                Ultimately, the patient remains physically dependent on the opioid, 
                but is freed from the uncontrolled, compulsive, and disruptive 
                behavior seen in heroin addicts.
              Withdrawal from methadone is much slower than that from heroin. 
                As a result, it is possible to maintain an addict on methadone 
                without harsh side effects. Many MMT patients require continuous 
                treatment, sometimes over a period of years. 
              Methadone maintenance treatment provides the heroin addict with 
                individualized health care and medically prescribed methadone 
                to relieve withdrawal symptoms, reduces the opiate craving, and 
                brings about a biochemical balance in the body. Important elements 
                in heroin treatment include comprehensive social and rehabilitation 
                services. 
              
              Our Survey: 
              Most of the people says, many doctors write prescriptions when 
                they should not. Often times you just walk in the door and ask 
                for something they will gladly write it out for you. I think all 
                doctors that do this should be held accountable, not just this 
                one. 
              The problem is when one Doctor prescribing for a famous person 
                gets in trouble, it effects everyone and by this, people who really 
                do need prescriptions for either real anxiety disorders or pain 
                conditions. Why should people with legitimate health problems 
                be penalized because of things like this?
