Authorities To Investigate Jackson's Doctors ASAP

Filed under: Michael Jackson

wenn962934__opt1.jpg

As we previously mentioned, hte DEA is now lending a helping hand to the LAPD in the ongoing investigation of Michael Jackson's death.

Their latest (and most believable) target?

Five different doctors who prescribed drugs to the King of Pop!

LAPD found medicine bottles strewn around Jackson's home prescribed to MJ's pseudonyms and some bottles with no prescription at all!

The police and the DEA are planning to question the doctors responsible for the bulk of Jackson's prescriptions to find out if Michael was receiving "properly prescribed" medications or if there was any shady business going on.

The investigation will be headed by the authorities behind the investigation of the doctors who supplied the late Anna Nicole Smith with improper prescriptions, so they've gotta be the best in the biz, right?

As we mentioned before, "numerous bottles" of the heavy duty sedative Diprivan were found around Michael's home, even though Diprivan is a drug that is normally administered by an anesthesiologist in a hospital or medical care facility.

Abusers of Diprivan normally use the drug to overcome both insomnia and anxiety. “A lot of people do it because it makes you completely blotto. It totally takes away all anxiety, all fear,” explained University of Colorado anesthesiologist Paul Wischmeyer. “It’s incredibly relieving of pain, anxiety and stress. People do it to escape.”

In studies of Diprivan abusers attempting to combat anxiety with the sedative, abusers had “experienced trauma earlier in their life, and are using it to escape," said Wischmeyer.

Sad. Sad.

Drugs are not the answer!

  4. 4

    Not to sound like a bitch but enough with MJ! OMG it is every damn post.



  5. 5

    Blame the parents.



  6. 6

    Hopefully the doctors will get fines and put in Jail, so other people doing the same crap will stop doing it. But in the end, people like MJ, and the money like this celebrities will always find their way to get their drugs…and there will always be there to give them for $$$$. At the end is the doctors responsability not to, but the addict who should make the decision not to take them!! If not u may end up dying…. its ur choice Live or Die

    Re: Plinkie9 – but u do sound like a bitch, just so u know

    Any doctor providing Michael with such powerful drugs needs to be prosecuted, it was wrong for Michael to turn to drugs but it is equally if not more wrong for any doctor to provide anyone with such powerful and dangerous drugs. RIP MJ.

    Okay, I have a feeling that this will never be solved. If Diprivan was just given to Michael Jackson, as in NO prescription, they might never find out who smuggled it into the house. And even if the drug was found during the autopsy, how will they prove who administered it???



  11. 11

    i really dont understand using an general anesthetic for sleep . scary. desperate. insane



  12. 12

  15. 15

    if you watch past interviews u can see that he is messed up. he allways seemed to be on his own planet. peter-pan syndrome was blamed, but i believe he was just high. it is sad that he had so many handlers and none of them would help him.

    anesthetic does not induce a sleep,
    more of a coma ……
    and so tired after wards he would of had to have uppers to get energy back .
    anyone who has had minor surgery and woken up from it,
    you feel dropey for a while and want to sleep for real for a while…….

    The doctors who should lose their licenses are the plastic surgeons who continued to operate on his face when he clearly needed psychiatric treatment instead. Now, Michael was seeing FIVE DOCTORS? That was HIS fault, not theirs. That's called doctor shopping, and it's illegal. Normal people go to prison for it.

    Doctors, by and large, are not drug dealers. MJ was tortured and lived under constant scrutiny. He probably would have done anything for some rest and relief, like seeing 5 doctors. NPR just did a story on narcotics, and the rate of abuse is like .19% — hardly the epidemic the DEA claims.

    But because you people see a few high profile cases, you assume narcotics help no one and harm everyone. Alcohol kills more people than narcotics every year and there are far more people addicted to alcohol.

    The reality is that for the vast majority of people who take them, painkillers give them back their lives, their jobs, their relationships — without problem. There are so many people in this country who suffer from awful conditions that cannot be fixed — failed back & neck surgeries, headaches, cancer, arthritis.

    The fact is that most of the illegal narcotics trade is fueled NOT by doctors like the DEA says, but by drugs that come over the border. Because insurance companies don't want to pay for long term care for a pain patient, they want medical boards to go after these compassionate doctors.



  26. 26

    Is that or is that NOT a WIG???? really…I wanna know once and for all..hehehe…because I heard a rumor that the autopsy showed he was partially bald…just sayin…..its the 8th wonder of the world n all….



  27. 27

    i know why he needed these drugs. when i wake up in the middle of the night it's from nightmares of a parent who abused me. and that was 45 years ago. MJ had the same problem. asleep or awake a parent like that whispers in your ear long after they're dead. rest in peace michael jackson.



  28. 28

    so sad. poor baby:(



  29. 29

    get me to those doctors, stat



  30. 30

    there's probably like 50 doctors out there who've been sweating bullets ever since they michael died…well keep sweating cause you're gonna get caught and punished for taking advantage of michael like that and aiding in his destruction



  31. 31

    5 different doctors is not unusually for someone that is sick. also, how are doctors supposed to know if a patient is seeing the same type of doctor to score duplicate meds? NOW, if the doctor is writing a fake name, WRONG!!!! -suspend, take the license, etc. the diprivan of course, is a totally different story.



  32. 32

    Some Drugs Are The Answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  33. 33

    Your right perez…drugs are not the answer… drugs is the question… yes is the answer!



  34. 34

    All the drugs he had is because he had lupus. he wasnt open about the disease to anyone. He had reasons to have all the pills and reasons to keep it quiet. its not his fault. He wasnt abusing the drugs at all.
