SHOCKER. MICHAEL JACKSON'S DOCTOR NOT REGISTERED WITH FDA TO ADMINISTER THE GOOD STUFF

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.

MY CONVERSATION WITH AN ANESTHESIOLIST ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON AND THE PROPOPHOL/DIPRIVAN RUMORS

Propophol AKA Diprivan

Rumor has it, Michael Jackson's live-in doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, gave Michael an powerful anesthesia called Diprivan or Propohol.  This weekend, I chatted with my friend, a practicing anesthesiologist about the drug. He shared some interesting information with me that I haven't heard reported yet.

My doc friend says that ONLY anesthesiologists are trained to use the drug, even ER doctors don't know how to use diprivan.  When he was a resident and there was an emergency, the ER would call him to administer the drug to a patient. Dr. Conrad Murray was NOT an anesthesiologist.  How the heck did he even know how to give the drug if the allegations are true?

My friend also says that Diprivan causes a person to stop breathing and so that when it's administered, the doctor must move the jaw in a way so that breathing can resume, or the person must be hooked up to oxygen.  Also, the "sleep" only lasts about 8 minutes; it doesn't provide the kind of natural sleep that Michael was apparently seeking. 

Another interesting note is that the drug is a milky white substance.  When opened, it turns yellow within several hours. If the drug was really found in the home, as reports say, it will be interesting to see if they were opened bottles that contained the yellow substance or if the bottles were unopened.
