The doctor told him he should feel a little burning, bull that shit felt like fire when I had my operation! When I woke up I felt like shit too, I was dizzy until the next day. What happened to the old stuff they used to use? Y would Michael ever mess with this stuff, this stuff is no joke. After going thru the experience of how this stuff works, no sir, I hope to never again have to have another operation with that stuff, propofol is scary.

Its been said that Dr. Murray was actually trying to wean michael from the drug, this is considered medically appropriate actually. His lack of monitoring equipment is not. The weaning idea is further demonstrated by the existence of ativan in his system.

Michael Jackson was using Propofol to sleep when being used that way you can't get addicted to it. The only addiction to Propofol works by shooting yourself with it passing out waking up shooting yourself with it passing out waking up doing it again. A person who gets addicted to it will inject themselves with it over and over again at least one hundred times a day. And, you do not "ween" anyone from a non addictive drug by using very addictive drugs like ativain to do it.

Provide legitimate medical literature stating that one needs to inject themselves at least 100 times per day to be considered addicted. There are so many things wrong with your statement, first being that 100 iv punctures in a day or even a couple days would cause severe venous collapse. Second, there is no medical indication for using propofol for insomnia, therefore Michaels demands for the drug could be considered aberrant behavior or drug seeking, indicating that he was dependent on the drug

The people that get addicted to propofol would be someone that has access to it like a doctor or a nurse. The high from Propofol comes from waking up from it. People who are put under for periods of time when they wake up have no idea what happened that is why they call it milk of amnesia. Google it. And a drug addict who is given those drugs like methadone to get off heroin I can all but assure you that the person who gives it does not mix sedatives the way Murray did that night

Not true, benzodiazepines are commonly mixed with buprenorphine or methadone in order to aid with anxiety and sleep for withdrawing addicts.

So it is totally normal to give someone benzodiazepines one right after the other the way Murray did? Don't forget it was drug after drug until he gave the Propofol. And not by mouth but through an IV and I don't care if Michael was asking for it as a doctor Murray should have said no Michael this could kill you. But he did not

Furthermore, being that there are more than 10 studies on the addictive nature of propofol(which have confirmed, that yes it is reinforcing) weaning someone from one substance to another is common, ex heroin to methadone or buprenorphine.

if he was trying to wean off it then why did he give to him in the first place? He knows how dangerous propofol is so even why bother with given to him? Is money that important to him? If the people who worked around him and gotten him the help he needed then none this would have happen. We won't be mourning his death. Conrad Murray should have known better. I hope he either get arrested or lose his license. R.I.P. Michael Jackson the King of Pop!!!! 1958-2009

nicole and havepeace-both are wrong. CRNA's often administer general anesthesia (which I don't thisk is safe, but that's my opinion-get an anesthesiologist) and propofol can be titrated from light sedation to general anesthesia depending on the dose. The anesthesia profession sometimes abuses propofol as a recreational drug; that's unsafe
