There's many news articles out about this gal 39, who
was treated by an internist here in Vegas.
They (authorities) believed they had a case against this
internist doctor here named Dr. Teh, because he doled
out so many pain pills to this gal in scripts.
Well, come to find out, her liver and all the other complications
in her body were not due to all the pain meds, but rather she
had:
Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
(probably the reason the poor girl was in such pain)

Prosecutors have decided to dismiss the case against a
doctor charged with murder for overprescribing drugs to a patient.
Teh was arrested in March because authorities thought
Blythe's death was related to his prescribing massive
amounts of narcotics, including Demerol, Oxycontin and
Valium, from February 2001 to February 2006 to combat
chronic pain.
The Clark County coroner's office originally ruled Blythe, 39,
died in January 2007 from multiple drug intoxication but later
changed the cause of death to a respiratory infection known
as sepsis caused by pneumonia.
A toxicology screening also showed the level of prescription
drugs in Blythe's system were very low at the time of her
death and she had been using several substances that
Teh did not prescribe for her.
A lab report also showed Blythe tested positive for
pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacteria, which, with a low
white blood cell count, created a lethal combination,
according to the memo.
*another article I'd just read about this case was they
grew the identifying Pseudomonas Aeruginosa from just
her blood. There's petri dishes anyone can buy - and
put a drop of blood in it to see what might grow too, just
make sure it's the "for bacteria agar" petri dish, not the
a fungal agar petri dish.*
