I can sense your sarcasm, but my brother, who's an anesthesiologists, said that in his opinion it is criminal negligence to give someone an injection of Demerol without a syringe of Narcan in the immediate vicinity. And, that this is especially germane when the patient has the drug abuse history such as Jackson had.

This guy has "quack" written all over him.

Must have gotten his medical degree from Fly-By-Night University or he would know that one does not do CPR on a bed. Good grief...anyone who takes a First Aid course knows that. One suspects he was mainly there to write prescriptions.

I wondered about that; why on earth it wasn't given. Your posting is the first time I've seen any mention of Narcan.

I don’t doubt it. Mr. Jackson, as screwed up as he was, had a knack for surrounding himself with vultures. Of course vultures can sense wounded prey. ;)
