NOT that I know anything about "legal" drugs????Originally Posted by Daisy and Delilah
If I go to the hospital to have surgery. The doctor tells me to take only my blood pressure pills and nothing else. Instead, I am in pain and I take three pain pills and 2 tranquilizers to calm my jitters. At the hospital the doctor gives me Propofol to knock me out and I die on the table.
Whose fault is my death?
Feedback welcomed and appreciated because this thing is driving me crazy.
This is a great question.
If MJ was abusing legal drugs it's up to the doc to say, "DUDE, no way!"
The allure of money and being the "doc of the stars" is very appealing.
Any 'professional" will chart what is given and when, because this MD was working for MJ you would think he was noting what was given, when and how much. It still don't pass the smell test, but maybe he was charting for his own protection?
When drugs are scanned for in a live or dead body, they use a baseline to figure what is in the body.
They test the liver-that breaks down drugs and alcohol in the body and when they 'see' what the find in a biopsy, they can be sure of what was taken by the amount, weight of the person and their history!
The liver metabolizes chemicals and alcohol at a certain rate, if you have seen a BAC chart.

When an autopsy is done on a body?
The officials can do a 'backwards' check on the amount or percentage of the drug found on the body.

When you have surgery you do a face to face with your surgeon or a anesthesiologist.
They will ask you if you smoke, drink or if you are 'medicated'.
You can lie and say you do not smoke or say that you don't drink a 30 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon a day, but that is up to you and your family-in case you croak on the table!
