According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Michael Jackson did not just rely on his regular doctors to get his drugs, but made his way around several dental offices.
The “anesthesia addict”, who would search for drugs to make him unconscious or sedate him, was adept in “doctor shopping.”
In 2003, Jackson summoned a doctor to a suite at the Las Vegas Mirage because he was told Michael suffered from a cough and sore throat.
“The whole thing was staged. It was all a lie. They just wanted drugs. They wanted me to call in all these pills under someone else’s name,” said the physician, who became aware of Michael’s ploy to collect prescriptions.
When the doctor refused the prescription, Jackson’s handler would use intimidation to get what he wanted.
The doc claimed that he would “see what he could do” regarding the drugs. Then, one of Jackson’s entourage came up to him, pointed a finger in his chest and said, “You do that.”
Intense.
