TroyinEwa/Perv Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 No need to be sorry to disagree. The bands/person I mentioned haven't done shit either. My point being, he had a role in the way music is and like or not (I dont', I hate him) he has a name billions of people know. This matter needs to be dealt with.

kamui Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I just read a report about the drug, Propofol, M.J. took regularly. It seems that the drug is extremely dangerous, killing at least 1/3 of all medical professionals (docs, nurses, e.g.) who use and it is even more lethal to non professionals... I guess it was M.J. decision to take to drug, he just needed a doc to provided it and to do the injection. Propofol is a powerful sedative designed to be used only in the operating room. Why Michael Jackson was using it as a sleep aid may never be known. What is known, however, is that it killed him, according to findings by the Los Angeles chief medical examiner unsealed in court documents in Houston Monday. "Using this drug for insomnia is sort of like using a shotgun to kill an ant," Dr. Howard Nearman, department chairman of anesthesia at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Ohio, told FOXNews.com. "How someone could get a hold of this medication  and use it for the purpose that he allegedly used it for  is just incredible." Propofol, sold under the brand name Diprivan, which is given intravenously, is used for inducing general anesthesia in the operating room or for heavy sedation of patients who are intubated in the intensive care unit, Nearman said. "It should not be used out of an ICU or an operating room setting," Nearman said. "Here at University Hospitals Case Medical Center … Diprivan can only be used by anesthesiologists or intensivists ... and these people, who by virtues of training and experience, can handle this drug and manage any adverse side effect should they arise." It doesn't take a large dose of Propofol to cause respiratory depression, which basically means a person will stop breathing, Nearman said, calling it a "slippery slope." "Once the breathing is slowed down or the blood pressure drops, eventually the heart won't be able to sustain itself," he said. Nearman said it's imperative that Propofol be used only in a controlled setting where doctors can monitor the heart rate, blood pressure and breathing, and where if anything goes wrong, there is equipment in place to resuscitate a patient. Jackson's personal physician was with him at the time of his death and sources say he may be charged with manslaughter in connection with Jackson's death. Because Propofol is used only in hospital settings, this begs the question of how it could end up in the hands of someone like Jackson. "One can only hypothesize," Nearman said. "But it had to be taken from a hospital pharmacy or an outpatient surgery center perhaps  because you cannot walk into a drugstore and get it." There are reports of self-administration of propofol for recreational purposes. Short-term effects include mild euphoria, hallucinations, and disinhibition. Long-term use has been reported to result in addiction. Such use of the drug has been described amongst medical staff such as anaesthetists who have access to the drug. However, abuse of the drug is relatively rare due to its potency and the level of monitoring required to take it safely, and it has not yet been scheduled by the US Drug Enforcement Administration. The steep dose-response curve of the drug makes potential abuse very dangerous without proper monitoring, and at least three deaths from self-administration have been recorded. Attention to the risks of non-medical use of propofol recently increased due to the finding that Michael Jackson died from a lethal dose of the drug. According to a search warrant issued by Los Angeles County on July 17, 2009, Jackson's personal physician administered 25 milligrams of propofol diluted with lidocaine shortly before his death.
