Anna Nicole Smith's Methadone prescription

TMZ

Although I tire of the Anna Nicole Smith story, a legitimate medical issue has come up: the Methadone scripts. TMZ reports that a Dr. Sandeep Kapoor wrote her several scripts under different names. I review cases for the California Medical Board. They are plastic surgery cases, so this is a bit different.

Nevertheless, I believe that controlled substance scripts need to be written to the legal name of the patient. This may be a problem for the good doctor. Explaining why he wrote such a medication for a pregnant woman may take a review by medical experts in the fields of Internal Medicine, OB/GYN and/or Substance Abuse Medicine.
