Blog entry

When she asks for "something to help me sleep," Dr. Schumann tells La Condesa she, "can't take pills every time you want to be stimulated or sedated," but he injects her, apparently intravenously, with a drug and tells her to "talk until the drug takes effect." (0:22)

La Condesa appears sweaty and tremulous, presumably as a result of withdrawing from a drug. Dr. Schumann administers another injection, this one intramuscular. (1:03)
