Psychiatrist is haunted by celebrity death

As reported here Anna Nicole Smith's psychiatrist "best friend" Khris Eroshevich is haunted by the memory of her last chat with the tragic model, because she begged her friend not to leave her alone. But over looked in the report is the laundry list of drugs we reported earlier, which she had no problem filling out, and which was refused by more than one pharmacy.

As noted here,

Only in Los Angeles do psychiatrists suddenly pop up as best friends of their patients. It's unclear whether or not Eroshevich actually saw Smith as a patient or if she was just a hanger-on who got close to her in her later years.

This much is certain: It's Eroshevich's mug in the "ET" videos of the funeral, and all its tacky preparations. The good doctor happily gave quotes to the TV show, which sources say paid millions to Howard K. Stern for the right to have a landmark ceiling camera hovering over Smith's casket as it was rolled into the Bahamian church.

But back home, Eroshevich isn't all that popular with the other less famous people with whom she used to work.

One has to be suspicious, and I suspect that this is just another case of folks hanging on for the ride, looking to make as much as they can while they are able to.

Another case of Hollywood leeches. Pardon me if I am cynical, and file this under - deaths associated with "paparazzi shrinks"

UPDATE: and the media circus continues, first with Eroshevich's republican campaign contributions (not that this matters much), and the increasing perception of Eroshevich as an enabler

Here is that report we mentioned at the top

Anna Nicole Smith's physician pal Khristine Eroshevich is haunted by the memory of her last chat with the tragic model, because she begged her friend not to leave her alone.

Eroshevich, who was in Florida with a vacationing Smith, admits she was with the star in the days leading up to her death and recalls her final conversation with her friend.

She says, "She was taking a bath and she was shampooing her hair and I had been with her in the morning. That was Wednesday. I was going back and forth, saying goodbye and she was crying, and she said, 'Please don't leave me,' and I left."

The Bahamas-based doctor tells US TV news show Entertainment Tonight she has felt terrible guilt ever since her friend's death a month ago.

She adds, "I often think, 'Should I have stayed? What would have happened?' Certainly, I could have saved her."

And Eroshevich is keen to play down reports Smith died after suffering a fever, revealing her late pal was recovering from an illness when she left her.

She explains, "She wasn't well... She did spike a fever on Monday night but she got better really quick... I never thought that anything would happen to her. I called that night and was able to find out what she had eaten... and she was doing well. I called in the morning too. I never dreamed (she'd die)."
