It's like putting a "no trespassing" sign on the moon. Few have the ability to make the journey. Jackson may be the only abuser of diprivan in the world. I don't think it matters too much, because this will most likely never happen again. Michael Jackson is one of very few who can afford a 24 hour anesthesiologist.

Why would anybody need it, even with a doctor outside of a clinical setting. Whomever hooked him up and gave it to him prior to and possibly what caused death were only pandering to someone that was an addict. I could see a dealer or even a friend trying to pander to a star, DOCTORS we all expect to be able to hold to a higher standard. OF COURSE it should be.

You must have respiratory effort (either spontaneous or mechanical ventilation) in order for the oxygen to ENTER the body. The oxygenated blood is then carried throughout the body (as long as the heart is pumping) which in turn supplies the brain and vital organs for the necessary oxygen to sustain life. Also, why haven't any questions been raised about the order of the CPR that was reported? IF Michael Jackson had a pulse but was NOT breathing... why didn't someone (ie.. the personal physician) perform "rescue breathing" ? You do chest compressions on a person who is pulseless and when that is the case... it is performed while the person is laying on the floor or other hard surface. Otherwise, the chest compressions wouldn't be "deep" enough to create artificial circulation by manually pumping blood through the heart. I am a registered sleep technician (RPSGT), not a nurse or Dr. and have listened to HOURS & HOURS of the media coverage since Michael Jackson's collapse.

It's what the doctor's use for an operation purpose. It puts you to sleep alright. To use this drug it sounds bad, where was the doctor, or nurse monitoring Micheal? Is that why the doctor spent the night? All of these questions go unanswered. But, then again other drugs if taken could of had bad adverse effects also. I guess later we find out the answer from the Doctor who was there. Working out to, at that age could have affects on the heart. I'm not saying he was old, but, not young either. Then all the drugs whatever else he was taking. To anyone else, this does not make a good sleep aid. There are other sleeping pills out there. By prescription only of course. It sounds like know one really knew what his capabilities were, for example his physical, Health, just the well-being of this person who was supposed to be cared for. To do fifty concerts he had planned, that seemed to be an enormous amount of stress on him. I just hope someone has the right answers. With all the information on the drug it doesn't sound good.

Doctors don't want to prescribe controlled substances, too much paperwork, too many questions, so even the people that are in real need of this meds are not getting them, that's why there is so many wackos running free in America.

Furtermore, you have to question the ineffective CPR technique-how long was he on the bed before he was on the floor? And this guy wasn't a board-certified cardiologist? ridiculous.

Besides all that I believe that who ever gave him that drug to sleep made a mistake, but bottom line is this.....IT WAS HIS TIME TO GO HOME AND BE WITH GOD He was such a loving and caring person and he does not deserve all the bad things that are being said about him. So to all of you out there who are behaving opposite of the way that God would want you to behave "SHAME ON YOU"!!!!! Mr. Cooper,
