Okay. Stop right there. I can't read anymore past these sentences. I don't possibly understand why you don't have a problem. Michael Jackson was not undergoing any operations here. This mess was done in his home in his room. I'm not trying to entertain the logic of correct drug combinations when it shouldn't have ever happened in the first place.
Before anyone takes that and runs... Like I said, what I DO have a problem with is that they were used in a home. I was not saying I didn't have a problem Murray using them on Michael. I was saying I don't have a problem with the MIX of drugs...as in...the mix ALONE would not kill you. So many here were saying "how could he use such a lethal mix" and I was just trying to correct those, because it's not the mix that's necessarily the problem. It's HOW and WHERE they were used. I think you misunderstood me. The defense for Murray can easily say that combination is safe and is being used all the time...and it's true. So the mix was pretty much okay (when it comes to Midazolam and Lorazepam being used with Propofol. Don't know what else he used. I am only referring to those two other drugs). What was not okay was that it was used in a home. Hope that clears it up.
It's not really that simple...Using those drugs together is not unusual...in the OR. It IS unusual to be used in a home. No responsible person would ever in their right mind knock a person out with Propofol in someone's HOME. That's irresponsible. And I don't really know if you could call Michael an "addict" if he just wanted to use those drugs to sleep. It's true you can develop a tolerance...We have had kids who were very sick and had numerous operations and have gotten Propofol, etc. very often, so those kids sometimes need much higher doses before the drugs work. And I guess when you rely on any type of drug you can become "dependant"...even if it's just "psychological" and you just THINK you need them. I can't say if MJ was an addict, because I don't know his medical history and what drugs exactly he used, for how long, and why. If someone has a serious problem with insomnia, and needs drugs to be able to sleep, I wouldn't say they are an "addict", because they are using the drugs to treat a problem, and the drugs are prescribed for that very problem. However, I guess there are people who become dependant on sleeping pills too and can't get sleep without the pills anymore. I'm not an addiction specialist, so I can only tell you my opinion, nothing more. One thing I do know though, and that is that NO RESPONSIBLE DOCTOR would EVER use Propofol in a home. And that's a FACT.
2 minutes doesn't make sense really. If he was away just two minutes and MJ stopped breating for two minutes...and if he intubated him immediately and would have given him proper CPR (but maybe just intubating him and getting oxygen into his lungs would have done the trick) and called 911 immediately....he most likely would have been able to save him. There is no way he was away just 2 minutes. Or he was, but then he had no idea what to do to get MJ breathing...had no laryngoscope, no tube, no nothing there...
