Thanks for the heads-up Ray..!! I got your point. Michael was responsible for his life but Dr. Murray should have know better. Well he in boiling water now!
I had an operation in 2005 at Peebles and I thank God that the Dr. didn't walk away.
Thank you Dr. Yeesin

To Wow. I agree. It was not my intention to write so much, and in retrospect my post is more suitable for a Commentary. I apologize to all for the post length. It's as if I was cooking and put too much salt in the pot...ie. my hand got away. I will be conscious of this next time, and will make every effort not to repeat.

Ray have u considered submitting your "comment" as a commentary coz damn... this is one long a** comment....

This will be an interesting case, one whose developments I will follow closely. It has wide reaching implications for practicing physicians and their patients. It is a very unfortunate & tragic situation all the way around. On the one hand, Michael lost his life & left his love ones, family, friends & fans in despair. On the other, Dr. Murray is about to have his life turned completely upside down.

First let me say, I have been a unapologetic fan of Michael since childhood having grown up with his music like so many others. I believe wholeheartedly he became a tragic victim of his success & unfortunately some of his own doing. By all appearances, he was dealing with one pressure after the other. Pressures which started early as a child when he was trusted upon the national stage, followed by allegations of abuse by his father, then the public fallout over his ever changing physical appearance, followed by child molestation charges (which I personally did not find credible), followed by the public fall out post acquittal on his child molestation charges after which the media largely en masse made a concerted effort to damage his image further with negative press which labeled him as "Jacko" & "Pedophile" all designed to bring him to his financial knees & result in the loss of his interest in the Beatles catalog, followed by the non-ending preying eyes of the media & paparazzi who went to all length to print stories truth or fiction to cash in on his distress. When the American media turned on him, they did so with force & vengeance, & even if Michael felt his success & money could have withstood the onslaught of negative press was, he was in for a rude awakening as he most assuredly discovered that despite he appeared as white as the whitest man/woman & had achieved great success, for many he was still a black man...one with an identity crisis and other personal issues. In sum, his troubles were a perfect storm, and it appears his shoulders were heavenly burden, and one can argue even Goliath would have crumbled under such immense pressure.

Unfortunately, it appears that tremendous pressure led to difficulty sleeping, and at some point he became heavily dependant on prescription sleeping aids. Based on my knowledge of these drugs, he was taking some heavy duty sedative hypnotics, and it appears to me he became dependent on them somewhere along the way. From all appearances he went doctor shopping utilizing his wealth & image to maintain his dependency, and there were some unscrupulous doctors who were all too eager to prescribe these meds beyond their normal scope of use for a price.

Now enter Dr. Murray, heavily indebted both personally & professionally who got the dream job I am sure he thought to take care of Jackson for him upcoming planned This Is It Tour after which he could get his financial house in order. If the allegations and timeline is true that Dr. Murray administered the various sedative hypnotics in the short time frame leading up to Michael's death, in my opinion he was negligent. Sedative hypnotice have when given in rapid succession will have an additive and cumulative effect which in this case will be respiratory depression. On top of this was the administration of Propofol outside of the normal setting. For those of you who do not know, Propofol is a new class of highly potent sedative hypnotic, used to induce a coma or induce and/maintain anesthesia during surgery. Prior to administration, a doctor always has to be ready to secure a patients airway as the drug is so potent, as soon as the drug is given, the patient will go off into a deep sleep immediately, loose consciousness, or stop breathing depending altogether depending on the dose given. You never walk away from such patients until their airways is secured or else they will die on you as in this case. Standard practice is to have a ventilator close by at all times as you will need it. As such propofol is always given in the OR or ICU where the availability of a ventilator is at the patients bedside. Of course there was no reported ventilator in Jackson's home, and Dr. Murray was on his cell chatting after he administered one sedative hypnotic after the other followed by the the most potent drug of all propofol. All together, these drugs most likely resulted in respiratory failure, and without respiratory support, Michael breaths became numbered until there were no more. As such, in my opinion, Dr. Murray was negligent, and he was appropriately charged with negligent homicide today. I say appropriately because I do not believe he meant to kill Jackson. I just think he should have known better not to have administered all those sedative hypnotics in such a short time span only to finish it off with Protocol.

Every doctor graduating from medical school is held to the Hippocratic oath which explicitly states: First Do No Harm. Unfortunately, Dr. Murray did harm here in my opinion, albeit with the help of Jackson who went around the rules & use his money and influence to continue his dependency. Dr. Murray should not have accepted this job, or at least from the very first time he found out Jackson had a problem with these meds, he should have referred him to a sleep specialist who is trained and more capable to treat such patients. By the way, this holds true for patients with severe pain issues as well. Drs. need to refer them to pain specialist or find themselves in similar situations. Because of all the above, I don't believe Dr. Murray is going to walk away from this easily, but at the end of the day, Michael Jackson, as much as I luv his music, was responsible for his life, and played a significant role in his own undoing. Had he not become dependent on these drugs, use his influence to get them, avoid intervention, and not sought treatment, he most likely would be alive today. May he rest in peace, and may we all learn that money whether we have it to get what we want, or we will do anything to get it can get us in a whole lot of trouble, and even cause you your life, career, and livelihood.
