I am going to share a little story here that I want you all to know about.
In 2001 I broke my nose severly and had to go to the hospital to get it fixed. The doctors felt my injury was so severe that they did not want to operate on me while I was awake.
So they decided to put me to sleep and gave me the drug Propofol.
The reason why they chose this drug instead of other more mild drugs is because I have Astma. They feared I could stop breathing if they gave me the usual sleeping gas they use, so they gave me the drug. But what they feared most happened anyway. I just got very unlucky.
Shortly after I fell asleep they started to work on my nose. But not long after being given the drug I stopped breathing. My heart rate slowed down rapidly and the doctors had to act fast.
They injected me with adrenaline to raise my heartbeat and they intubated me so that I would get oxygen. They monitored my condition all the way until I woke up from the drug.
I remember when I woke up I had such a high heart rate it felt like my chest was about to explode. When things like these happens a patient normally receives a document with information about what has been done to you and what drugs has been used. So that is how I know I was given that particular drug.
I was lucky, because I had doctors and nurses watching over me, and they were able to act right away.
I thought I share this story, because MJ was given the same drug to sleep. Dr. Murray however did one fatal mistake. He left Michael to his own, leaving Michael totally helpless.
Michael should have been looked after the entire time. This is why this drug is illegal to give outside a hospital. There is always a risk for something like this happening, and a patient must be monitored at all times while the drug is working.
So it is not uncommon that doctors experience complications when sedating patients.
Dr. Murray will most probably be found guilty of man slaughter, because the court will know just how serious it is to give a person such a dangerous drug outside a hospital.
When I heard about this happening to MJ, I cried my eyes out, because I knew this was never supposed to happen.
And if it is true MJ was given a drug coctail at the same time, it only made the chance of the Propofol backfiring even greater.
