Michael Jackson’s Daily Cocktail: Can’t Stop ‘Till You Get Enough
Looks like the King of Pop was the King of Popping Pills, says the New York Post.
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.
Rounding out the staggering pharmacopia, Jackson scarfed down the muscle relaxant Soma, antidepressants Zoloft and Paxil, anti-anxiety drug Xanax and the heartburn medication Prilosec on a daily basis, a source close to the Jackson family told the British paper The Sun.
Jackson’s history of health problems included lupus and vitiligo, a condition that causes loss of skin pigmentation. He called his Demerol injections “health tonic.” The big question now is, what will be the fate of Michael Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray?
The most interesting tidbit came from Deepak Chopra, who said that the vast majority of addicts in this country are served not by drug dealers in the street, but by legal prescriptions from physicians.
Well, we’ve got the worst health care in the industrialized world, so it’s not much of a surprise.

As a person who regularly travels around the world, there’s little question that America has one of the best health care systems. If we get away from anecdotal inferences, the system is quite amazing and has allowed for significant health advances.

Danielle,
I’m telling you that the people I have talked to about the health care systems in their countries, are not that impressed with them. The systems have serious problems, the most prevalent being the rationing of health care.
I don’t believe there is an unbiased test that can accurately determine, “the best health care system.” My suggestion is that the system we have is pretty good. Certainly, there are problems, but the notion of the government taking the system over, as James posits, flies in the face of reason!
When James says, “One payer, tax funded,” where do people think the money will come from? One payer is us – tax funded is us! We will pay for it one way or another. However, try to name one government system – just one, that works efficiently. After all, the government who told us that Medicare and Medicaid were answers to problems, now tells us that they are crap?
So, now we should turn more control over to them and give them another trillion dollars for “Medicaid II – The Sequel”? How does that make sense? These are the guys who brought is social security – not Democrats or Republicans – government Idiotcans (they come from both parties)
Ma’am, this old fart believes that giving any more money or power to the folks in Washington who have proven time and time again that they make incompetent, inefficient, costly, and non responsive systems… well, I will fight that to the end.
Again, it’s not a democrat or republican thing; it’s an anti government thing.
Thanks for listening.

I get better medical care in Brazil than I did in the US. Here, when I go to a doctor I actually spend 20 or 30 minutes with the doctor and after he gives me his CELL PHONE number with instructions to call if I need to.
I have had this experience from every doctor I have seen.
Health care is a right here, by the way – everyone has it. Though I use the private system, for the most part. I use the public system for inoculations, some tests, etc..
GuidoVanHorn Reply:

I wasn’t too impressed with my several occasions in Brazilian health care.
1st time, I was in the country for a couple of weeks…got some sort of food poisoning or something projectile vomiting/diarrhea etc…went to the Pronto Socorro they told me it was going to be a 2 hour wait…then I threw up in the waiting room and they took me back, stuck an IV in me then told me to get out of there when it was done, on my way out I threw up again and shat my pants.
2nd time I whacked my head on a beam (because I’m 6′4 and everything is built for people 5′3) thought I may have needed stitches, sat around for a couple of hours by then the bleeding had stopped. then when they did take me back they jumped me in line ahead of a guy who had come in from a motorcycle accident and was clearly in much more need than me, I offered to let this guy go ahead of me, but they said no and took me back.
3rd experience (was actually a friend of mine) he cut the bridge of his nose really bad on a ceiling tile…long story…he went to the hospital (private) and there was a guy basically dying in the waiting room, they asked my friend if he had money and he showed him that he had a couple hundred Reis and they took him back, he told them that the guy in the waiting room looked like he really needed help, but they told him that he had no money and that they’d get to him when they would get to him.
4th/5th experience one of my roomates had a bleeding ulcer and we rushed him to the pronto socorro, after waiting for an hour in the waiting room a guy who looked too young to be doctor came out and said he’s probably too sick for us to take care of him here, you’ll need to take him to the doctor at the hospital. (luckily we knew a guy with the car because the hospital was forever away and it was sunday and the bus only went that way 3 times a day on sundays) when we got there we had to hassle with the secretary because we didn’t have much money on us, we had to make several phone calls to our head office and after much wrangling they finally agreed to see him. While we were there, there was a guy who had an industrial accident, he desperately needed to be airlifted to a better hospital, when the chopper got there he demanded 3000 reis in cash up front before he would take him, the guy worked for a huge steel company and they promised the pilot he would get paid, he refused and said he needed cash, they company representative tried to pay with a check, but he wouldn’t take a check, after far too many hours they were able to come up with the cash on a sunday night and they got him in the air. They guy died mid flight.
6th experience, there was a yellow fever outbreak and they were innoculating everyone, I got in line waiting around for 3 hours moved about 20 yards and then decided that I’d take my chances with yellow fever.
I left the country none too impressed with their medical system…maybe it’s better now.

No, there is little question that we have one of the most unethical and completely profit-driven healthcare systems in the world. We are way more people uninsured than other nations.
Our system is broke. If you are rich and have your perfect plan set up already then everything sounds fine. But if you can’t afford one and your job doesn’t offer one then what?
Most people who hold your opinion seem to already have a plan that works for them and then proceed to tell everyone else they can just ‘fend for themselves.’
If you had no insurance then you might have a better and more balanced view of healthcare in America.

If you are broke and your job doesn’t offer insurance it’s called medicaid. If you are old it’s called medicare.

One thing I haven’t heard obama discuss is TORT reform. Until we do something about frivolous lawsuits which increase the need and cost of liability insurance, healthcare costs aren’t going down. They will continue to go up.
If you want to do something positive, give a tax credit to physicians/hospitals and match dollar for dollar the amount of indigant care they provide.

Blissfulconservative, thank you very much for mentioning tort reform! I agree that that would be really useful for cutting the costs of medical care.
I recall from the news that about a week or so ago, Obama mentioned during a speech to a room full of doctors (was it in Chicago? or L.A.? I can’t recall right this moment) something to the effect that limiting malpractice lawsuits wasn’t going to be part of the health care plan, and low-volume-level hisses emanating from his audience in response.
(If there’s one thing I would love to change most within the Democratic party, it would be to marginalize the influence of the trial lawyers.)

My sister Pam RIP 8-30-59–5-22-09 was on 4or5 different meds when she died.
She had 2 doctors and they were legal drugs. This system sucks. Doctors are in the pay of drug companies to push their drugs, and insurance companies to limit treatments.
Along with copious amounts of alcohol she was a prescription junkie. Legal drugs, legally dispensed, by liscenced Drs.. Perhaps if the medical history was electronic she would not have been able to see two docs in one day for multiple scrips.
Perhaps she could have entered rehab one more time if the cost wasn’t a factor.
Cost should never be a factor concerning human beings. Ever. Never.

If you don’t think the government will limit treatment after obama’s little speech about discussing how uncomfortable, costly and invasive procedures could be and how granny might decide to just go peacefully you need to think long and hard about how the government will ration care.
Do you really think the government won’t limit care to cut down on the cost? Come on. They do that now with medicare and medicaid.
And I hate to play devil’s advocate, but the docs can only write the prescription and the druggist can only give you the side-effects and don’t mix with instructions. They can’t make you follow their advice.

What Im more concerned about is the mix of zoloft and paxil. Those two in combination arent typically done. Furthermore, there are much more advanced depression drugs on the market, so if he was getting good medical attention, he would have been on those. Even some now help with blocking pain and are used for diseases like lupus, which is indeed a very painful disease.
Some cases of lupus narcotics are prescribed. However, the use of demerol 3xs a day seems strange, altho, I have seen lupus and MS sufferers use a morphene pump to control pain with good success. Demerol isnt typically used for pain management anymore.
We should have a pain management specialist put this into context, and potential hazzards. Michael wasnt a normal person, his demands on his body for an extended perios of time wasnt normal, so this is actually pretty typical with a aging athlete or performer that has functioned at a high level for years.
Im not condoning the Doctors actions, just merely putting it into a more understandable context for those that have never had chronic pain, a auto immume disease etc….
With painkillers, if taken for extended periods of time, can actually begin to amplify pain, which isnt a great thing since he is already sensitive to pain and his pain tolerance is low. Hence probably people wanting to detox michael.
Soma is pretty common with sufferers of Lupus to relax the muscles,because they generally tighten up and cause pain. So if he had to dance, he would need this to move.

Polypharmacy is a problem. It isn’t always a problem with just the healthcare system. our country as a whole has a big problem with death and dying and wants a magical pill to “fix” what ails them STAT.
Sometimes polypharmacy is a necessity. When you have multiple conditions (for example high blood pressure) the magical # is 3. 3 drugs to manage it. Sometimes multiple drugs are necessary to balance each other out.
