The medical community takes a blow because of prescription drugs.
Dr. Conrad Murray, personal cardiologist of Michael Jackson, due to rumors and police questioning, has hire the services of a Houston law firm to protect he legal status in the following weeks.
Dr. Conrad Murray was with Jackson when the "King of Pop" suffered a cardiac arrest. The doctor performed CPR on the star until paramedics arrived. Now, after one autopsy and police questioning, Dr. Murray is seeking legal help. It has been suggested be the media that in the relationship between Jackson and Murray, painkillers and other sedatives were wrongfully prescribed.
In the world of music and entertainment, stars have access to anything for the right price. Alcohol, sex, and drugs come to any that can meet the price tag. The number of rock stars who have died from drug abuse is high, and Jackson is the most recent in a long line to dead artist. Many reasons exist for why stars jump into a downward spiral of excess: boredom, depression, anger, countless other emotions unique to each case. It is not entirely their fault.
Let us not forget the other side of the abuse, the doctors. In a market of free enterprise, with money comes opportunity and people to make opportunities exist. Like many stars Jackson fell prey to a doctor that could not say no. If he tried to say “no” to the “King of Pop”, noticing the intake of medicine exceeded the prescribed amount per day, it will come out in police questioning. However, if the legal system finds the doctor guilty of misconduct of his practice, Dr. Murray will fall in with the same den as other scum of the medical community as another common drug pusher.
The DEA, before protecting us from the Mexican cartels few people buy weed from except the border-states, should clean up the already known corruption inside of the medical community. So many artists have died because doctors did not honor their responsibility to say “no” to their patients or did not understand the dangers of the medication they were prescribing.
Elvis, King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, died in 1977 from overdosing from prescription medications while on the toilet in his Graceland mansion. Presley’s ex-wife wrote: “Presley was taking Placidyls to combat severe insomnia in ever increasing doses and later took Dexedrine to counter the sleeping pills’ after effects.”
Keith Moon, drummer of The Who, died in 1978 from an overdose of Heminevrin, a medication taken to wean him away from alcohol.
Nick Drake, influential singer-songwriter, died at his childhood home in England in 1974 from an accidental overdose of the antidepressant Amitriptyline.
It is incredibly sad how medicine can take the life of those who give us much enjoyment in various times in our life. If anything comes out of Michael Jackson’s death to better the nation as a whole, it should be a new understanding of how private practices work and an increased accountability of those practices. Medicine should never be the cause of accidental death.
