The Final Moments of Michael's Life


A confession from the last man to see Michael alive. His doctor reveals that for Jackson,it was a long and medicated night. Michael Jackson was given a series of sedatives by Dr. Conrad Murray on June 25, the day the singer died, according to an affidavit released Monday in Houston:

1:30 a.m. — 10 milligram tablet of Valium, a sedative.
2 a.m. — 2 milligrams of the sedative lorazepam (brand name Ativan) given intravenously.
3 a.m. — 2 milligrams of the sedative midazolam (brand name Versed) given intravenously.
5 a.m. — 2 milligrams of lorazepam given intravenously.
7:30 a.m. — 2 milligrams of midazolam given intravenously.
10:40 a.m. — 25 milligrams of propofol (brand name Diprivan) given intravenously and diluted with lidocaine (brand name Xylocaine).
10:50 a.m. — Doctor leaves Jackson's room; returns minutes later to find Jackson not breathing. Begins CPR and gives 0.2 milligrams of flumazenil (brand name Anexate), used to reverse sedatives. And the rest is history,or is it ?

Has the doctor left a few details out ? I hope a crack investigative team can root out all the other little nuggets of information that led to the consequences of that night. Regardless of their findings,that man is guilty, at the very least, of incompetence and reckless endangerment. At worst, I think perhaps manslaughter.There must be laws governing doctors' use or misuse of drugs.I believe those laws need a major overhaul. Doctors are given easy access to narcotics and their use is left to their discretion. We need more checks and balances.
