SHOCKER. MICHAEL JACKSON'S DOCTOR NOT REGISTERED WITH FDA TO ADMINISTER THE GOOD STUFF
Monday, July 6, 2009 at 06:11PM I suspected something was up from the moment it was reported that Michael had been taken to the hospital after his live-in doctor called 911. Numerous reports have swirled around, including: Michael was on numerous pain meds, he was given propophol, and he was given a daily IV pain medicine right before he went into cardiac arrest.
Well, today more arrows are pointed at MJ's live-in doctor, Conrad Murray. Foxnews.com reports that Dr. Murray wasn't even registered with the FDA to provide or prescribe narcotics in California. "Federal law requires doctors to register with the Drug Enforcement Agency in the jurisdiction in which they administer, dispense or prescribe controlled substances ranging in potency from extra-strength cough syrup to potent painkillers. Murray is licensed to practice medicine in three states, and he is required to register with the DEA in all three if he wants to be able to provide equal drug treatment to all his patients." Article here.
That means one of two things: 1) Conrad Murray was acting alone and fraudulently obtaining and providing drugs to Michael, or 2) another local doctor was prescribing the meds for Conrad Murray's use on Michael.
My guess is that Dr. Murray was not acting alone. I hope all of the doctors involved in feeding Michael Jackson meds are caught and criminally charged. This is the perfect case to send a signal to Hollywood doctors: you over medicate, you go to jail.
Someone said to me that the doctors may feel pressure to over-prescribe meds to Hollywood clients. That's ludicrous. All professionals, especially doctors and lawyers, have a duty to act with ethics. That's like a major drug lord asking me to bring him drugs into the prison for a huge amount of money since I'm a defense attorney and I can get into the prison without being searched. I don't care how much money was on the table, I have ethical and moral standards; I would never engage in such behavior. Many of these Hollywood doctors are legalized dealers who are protected by the FDA and the pharmacy. Enough already.
