Some important passages I cropped up that I feel are essential, didn't know where to post them best, I'm too distraught to be thinking too clearly, some long texts, sorry about that.. but very relevant and important to emphasize how clearly a victim Michael really was in all this and more:
‘[…] He wasn’t looking to get high or feel good and sedated from drugs. This was a person who was not on drugs. This was a person who was seeking help, desperately, to get some sleep, to get some rest. […] He said, ‘I don’t like drugs. I don’t want any drugs. My doctor told me this is a safe medicine,’ […] He said, ‘No, my doctor said it’s safe. It works quick and it’s safe as long as somebody’s here to monitor me and wake me up. It’s going be OK. At one point, I spent the night with him to monitor him while he slept. I gave him herbal remedies and stayed in a corner chair in his vast bedroom."

“Mr. Jackson did not present himself as a drug addict and from January to April, I didn’t see that in him. Even when it came to the Diprivan, he was looking for something that was going to help him sleep. He was not addicted to drugs. He only wanted to sleep. So, at his request, I sat in his bedroom with him and watched him as he tried to sleep. The night I stayed with him… He said, ‘I want to you to see how I sleep, ‘cause I want you to see that I don’t fall asleep. Or I fall asleep it takes awhile, but then I wake up after a couple hours.’ […]"

“[…] His doctor told him that (propofol) was safe. […] He said ‘I just want to get some sleep. You don't understand. […] He just told me - because I asked him, what doctor gave him this drug, 'Oh it was a long time ago’. […] I met him in January (of 2009). And because someone called me and said his children had a runny nose and a little cough and could I come out to the house and see them. And because it was a referral person, he felt very comfortable. And so, when I arrived at the house I saw three children. And actually I love working with children and I kind of set something up for them, some vitamin C and, you know, as a practitioner, I listened to their lungs to make sure they were clear and went ahead and did the routine physical exam and everything. And after I finished with the children and had given them some vitamin C that they had, you know, the vitamin C powder and a couple of other things, it's a homeopathic; they told their dad they were feeling a lot better. So he looked at me and said, ‘What else do you do?’ And so I said, ‘Well, I help people, you know, when they want to have more energy. And he said, ‘Oh, well, okay, that's really good..’. And so we start taking it from there and I try to find out ‘Why is it you don't have any energy?’ And just went through the whole course of, you know, not that day. He asked me if I could come back the following day. So I went and drew some blood, maybe you're anemic or maybe it's this or that, but let's not second guess anything. I did full lab work. A full work-up on him. Then, I told him from there that, nutritionally, we could get you set up. […] I didn't see anybody [when I was there at his house]. I didn't see anybody (a doctor) in January. February, March, there was a time he did go to London, so - he was out. But I never heard of a doctor, I never did see anyone. […] I told him I prefer to do continuity of care with someone. And I didn't see anyone.”

“I met Michael Jackson in January of 2009 at his home. […] [I happened to meet him] through a very dear friend, a very dear friend. He had a concern. His children had -- some of them were coughing, a little runny nose going on. And he's the type person, after meeting him, that's very concerned about his children and want to make sure they stay healthy. […] When I finished with the children, he said, ‘Well, you know, what do you do?’ And I said, ‘Well, you know, what's going on with you?’ And he said, ‘Well, I'm just feeling a little tired. You know, I'm getting ready for this concert that we're setting up, and the traveling. And he said, ‘I'm just a little tired, because I'm getting ready to start performing -- practicing and getting myself ready for that’. So he said, ‘I'm just tired’. So I said, ‘Well, you know, before, you know, giving you anything, let's just do some lab work, you know, see what's going on’, because there's many reasons why he could be tired. And so I did -- I said, ‘Well, I can't do it today’. So he said, ‘Well, can you come back tomorrow?’ And I said, ‘Well, sure. I mean, I find it an honor to come back, you know?’ And I went back the next day and did -- asked him, prior to, to fast for me and don't eat any food after 12:00 midnight and I'll see him the next morning. So I went back the next morning. I drew his blood. And has very small veins, so it took a little minute. So I drew his blood and told him that once I had the results back, then I'll set up a nutritional program for him. […] He kind of said, you know, he wanted -- he mentioned it, but it was kind of like "By the way" kind of thing. It wasn't, like, you know, I have just chronic insomnia and I just can't sleep. It was moreso toward April. That's when he asked me what – ‘Well, do you mind spending the night with me? I have to show you that I can't sleep, and I don't think you really believe me’. I said, I believe you. But he said, ‘Well, can you just come?’ That was around April when he started bringing this up. So he said, ‘Why don't you come watch me sleep?’ And I said, ‘OK, I'm going to bring you some tea’. And I had another homeopath, ‘I'm going to bring some other things’ -- actually this was more of an herbal supplement, which is very good for sleep. […] And it already mentioned, he said, ‘I can't take anything with melatonin, because it just doesn't work very well for me.’ I said ‘OK, I'll make sure it doesn't have that in it.’ And Michael is very smart, very smart man, very articulate, as you know. But very smart, and very well read. So he knew. And so I said well, Michael, I said, I'll come. And maybe team. I said why don't you get in bed? And he said, ‘Why don't you come check my room?’, and everything. […] He had classical music that was ongoing in the house itself. […] He said he is done everything. He said ‘I've done meditation’, I've done this, I've done that. And he just went on the list, and he said nothing worked. […] And he said, ‘Well, it's a safe medicine’. I said I don't think it's safe. […] He said, ‘Can you find me an anesthesiologist then to put me to sleep? To put me to sleep so I can get at least eight hours of sleep.”
“He might physically, himself, or someone just called and said he's going to be calling you, but is calling from a blocked number. I said that's fine in a couple of minutes, and I was put to speak with him. This time someone else called. And another person, so he called, and I showed her my caller ID, I'm an ER myself in Florida. And so I picked up the phone and answered it. And he said -- he said, "You know, Michael needs you to come see him. We want to know if you could please come today, right away." I said I really can't. I'm in Florida. I said "What's going on?" And he said, and I could hear Michael in the background saying, "Please, just tell her, tell her what's going on with me. Just tell her." He said ‘one side of my body is hot and one side of my body is cold, and what should I do?’ […] I know it was very unusual. […] [He couldn’t have given himself an IV.] No. He was afraid of needles. And he never comes towards his body with anything like that. There's no way. […]No. I am certain about that. He didn't want anything that was going to cause him pain. I had a cream called shae (ph) butter. And I said, ‘Come on, Michael, let me just massage your hands, because they are really dry and cracked’. And let me just do that. And we started that back in February. [...] As far as anything dealing with pain, no, never. I can't ever see him doing anything like that. […] Actually, he would close his eyes for me to give him the vitamin C. […] Yes. He would close his eyes. He didn't want to look and -- no. No. Because he said, "Please find a doctor to give me this medication, so they can monitor me." […] [He didn’t look like he was trying to avoid the concerts.] He was so happy the night that he received a lot of the awards for the "Thriller." It was either that night or later the night before, because a lot of things came in from Holland and all these different companies. He was so excited. He was so excited. He was so excited about during the concert. They were faxing him over the music they wanted to hear, or emailing one, but he had copies of it in his hand. He said, "Wow, this many people want to hear the song. This many people want to hear that song." Was really excited, really looking forward. And more so, because he said, "This is the first time my children" -- and they would sit there and just smile -- he said, "The first time my children are going to see me perform."
“[…] When I came in March, he said, 'Frank, make sure they get a doctor for us'. […] I said, why do you need a doctor? He said ‘Because after the shows I want to make sure that I get the right fluids, you know, and I eat right, and I want somebody to help my health.”

“[…] Propofol is the last series of drugs Dr. Murray admitted to giving Jackson. Murray publicly admitted being “out of the room” shortly after giving Jackson the propofol. Propofol is the drug the LA coroner declared was the cause of Jackson’s death. Murray claims to be a cardiologist. He may have been qualified to intravenuously administrate members of the class of drugs known as benzodizepines or “benzos”, but was most assuredly out of his depth of knowledge, training, and experience when giving propofol. […] Let me empathically state that since its 1989 introduction to the North American market, tens, (if not hundreds of millions) of patients have safely received propofol (…
. Why? Because someone was watching and monitoring them, two features apparently absent in Michael Jackson’s bedroom. Also, administering propofol in a person’s home is not altogether different from giving anesthesia in a surgeon’s office operating room. Both are remote locations and can be made safe with observation and appropriate monitoring. Although, I have never given propofol in a patient’s home, I have safely given it to patients for office-based elective cosmetic surgery for nearly two decades. Using propofol to help someone fight insomnia is most definitely not among the medically recognized uses of the drug. From 1992 to 1994, I put patients to sleep for cosmetic surgery in a gradual fashion to preserve their ability to breathe. What every patient told me through this two-year period was the best part of the anesthesia was the ‘going to sleep’ part. I had no frame of reference to understand what my patients told me. Finally, after hearing the same accounting from every patient, it occurred to me that propofol was a “happy” drug (i.e., patients enjoyed it). In 1998, one patient was so enthusiastic about his propofol experience that he suggested that he and I open a sleep clinic for patients wanting the great propofol sleep and wake up. I told him I was confident we could make a lot of money, but that the California Medical Board would not view our activities as legitimate. […] It was likely (Michael) became familiar with propofol as a result of the (…
cosmetic surgeries he had after his hair caught fire during the infamous Pepsi commercial. […]” – for more on propofol and its proper usage, as well as other relevant medical info, as per Dr. Barry L. Friedberg, in his book ‘Getting Over Going Under’, click here:

“[…] The action of propofol on Jackson’s brain would have been measured by a BIS (index measure drug effects) independently from the benzo effect. By using such a brain measurement, the overmedication with propofol could have been avoided. Jackson’s failure to breathe from the combined effects of the benzos and the propofol would also have been avoided. When midazolam was introduced to replace the longer-acting diazepam, the drug maker supplied midazolam in the same 5-miligram concentration as diazepam. After many patients had unintentional stoppage of breathing, midazolam was reformulated in a less potent concentration. For many years, midazolam has been well known for its potential to stop breathing. Propofol is not physically addictive (…
. […] The third and lethal folly was giving Jackson two types of drugs well known to potentially stop breathing. (midazolam and propofol) In none of the published photographs of Jackson’s bedroom do any safety monitors appear. Murray reportedly told police he had been using a pulse oximeter. When the police searched for it, the pulse oximeter was discovered (…
in an adjoining room. If this account proves correct, it casts serious doubts on Conrad Murray’s credibility. […] It is more probable that Murray had no idea exactly how much drug he gave Jackson. In any case, the amount of propofol the LA coroner found (…
is incompatible with a 25 mg dose [that Murray claimed to have given Jackson].”
“[…] The only thing that matters is observing and monitoring one’s patient. Murray, by apparently failing to perform these two items, was truly reckless and inexcusable. In conclusion, giving multiple drugs with the well-known to stop breathing, failing to remain in observation, and failing to use a pulse oximeter are all clear predictors of a bad outcome. Although he may have not intended to kill Jackson, Murray clearly caused Jackson’s death involuntarily. The only thing more reckless that Murray could have done was taking Jackson up in an airplane and pushing him out without a parachute. What would have prevented Jackson’s death? A knowledgeable, conscientious physician who both watched and monitored his oxygen – at the very least – absolutely would have. A brain monitor would have measured the propofol effect, thereby preventing a dose that stopped Jackson’s breathing.”
