I just listened to the 911 call. The guy who called 911 said there was a doctor “pumping him” and that he was on the bed.

I want to know what doctor would try to do CPR on a bed instead of putting him on the floor or sliding a backboard under him?

Yes, I know. I have to support my fellow Americans that serve on juries - yes I know that can be difficult at times but they acquitted him yet many here can’t seem to get over it.

My serious question is: Why didn’t someone in his circle—family, friends, etc.—get the guy help?

Possibly because he was worth more dead than alive.

Good Lord, I hate these stage parents.

I’ve known a few in my life....beauty pageants, sports, etc. They screw up their offspring...permanently. It’s stunning. You think of people like Todd Marinovich...what a mess. His parents treated him like a science project that would pay off some day.

I believe these cretin parents should have a special place in hell, once they view their children as a lifetime meal ticket. Earlier today a FReeper posted pics of Joe Jackson yukking it up with Jesse Jackson. They were shocking to me. I can’t imagine anyone grinning and laughing 24 hours after we lost a child.

Dysfunctional isn’t the word. I’ll prefer to remember Michael Jackson as a youngster, with his brothers.

I’m sure the same people who lambasted Limbaugh for being an oxycontin addict will have a field day with Jackson the drug addict............NOT.

The caller could’ve been referring to the doctor pumping his stomach.

>>In addition to the mind-bending painkiller Demerol that the “King of Pop” took three times a day, he also took 3 milligrams of the overwhelming narcotic Dilaudid as well as Vicodin daily.

To add to the reality-altering effect of Demerol, Jackson also took a drug called Vistaril, which amplifies the narcotics’ effect, experts say.
<<

Wait a minute, Demerol is supposed to act as an opiate, similar to morphine, it is not ‘mind-bending’, it is not ‘reality-altering’!
It certainly is not a hallucinogen!

I had it once in the hospital while recovering from a traffic accident(back injuries).
The affect is to put you in a state of uncaring serenity. You just go to sleep and feel all is fine. To state that Demerol is a pain killer is misleading a bit. It is a narcotic, it dampens the effects of pain, thus allowing you to sleep as it is sleep inducing. But it does not eliminate the pain itself. Dilaudid however is like synthetic Heroin and you can overdose real easily on it.

Can Wacko-Jacko be buried without fear of it it being an environmental contamination site?

Heck, the Feds want to control Cheerios as a drug.

Yes, I guess it’s possible, but the first priority when someone isn’t breathing is restoring circulation and respiration.

Just like Elvis Presley, heart failure induced by pharmacopoeia

You know he had doctors (small “d”) on his payroll. Look what he convinced some of them to do to his face. Would any reputable doctor want to admit to that horror?

I could only get a script for 30 vicodine at a time and have to see the doctor for a refill and not more than 30 in any three week period.

After I had a sky diving accident the only pain pills I got were the vicodin. I might as well have taken M & Ms. And now when you get cold meds, you have to give an ID and sign your name, but the meth heads still get them anyway. WTH?

I am tired of being assumed to be a druggy by the government and med profession. As far as I am concerned, we could go back to the old days when you could buy anything you wanted. Thins the herd.

Hollywood and the Playboy mansion are full of Dr FeelGoods.

Do you think they should all keep defibrillators around ?

Thins the herd. Brilliant, LOL.

Interesting comment on Vidodine, maybe thats why I was still always in pain.
