    I did not read the report (I question the credibility of it) but I am wondering if they are implying a difference in propofol levels in venous blood compared to arterial blood and various body tissues (muscle, brain, adipose tissue)? My logic tells me there would naturally be a difference in all due to the rate of uptake per tissue and the metabolism of it.

    Yes they did.
    The samples were sent to toxicology. Different levels of Propofol were found in all of them.

    The inference was not that the different levels were found in the different organs.....you would expect that anyway. The inference was that one side of the body had a build-up compared to the other side. There is so much medical evidence we have not seen yet.
