prescription medication must be disclosed to your surgeon before surgery

According to Sign on SanDiego  the second pharmacist to testify in two days at the Anna Nicole Smith drug conspiracy trial said Wednesday he warned a psychiatrist that she would wind up as a tabloid headline if she prescribed a powerful sleeping drug to the celebrity model.

Witness Steve Mazlin said he told Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, a defendant in the case, that the two drugs she was prescribing could be “a deadly combination.”

Mazlin also recalled encountering an agitated Eroshevich at the door of his pharmacy hours before it opened on Sept. 11, 2006.

“She proceeded to tell me Anna Nicole Smith’s son had just passed, and she was leaving for the Bahamas and needed to take some medications with her,” he recalled.

Dr Stuart Kincaid expresses his concern to his patients when they present themselves as plastic  surgery patients yet they are taking prescription drugs. Some of the drugs are okay to continue taking before and after surgery, others are a problem and must be stopped. There are specific list that detail the drugs that are to be avoided.  The surgical procedures Dr Stuart Kincaid performs all require patient compliance with medication instructions. This is imperative for patient safety.
