I just can't help to ponder how this situation is going to effect those of us on narcotic pain medications. Watching freako Deepak Chopra taking credit on national television for refusing to script some oxycontin for Jackson said it all.
Michael Jackson might very well have needed strong painkillers. But the "do-gooders" who live "pain-free" lives taking boxloads of vitamins and practicing yoga in their million-dollar mansions are nothing but hypocrites. And, control freaks. Jackson was arguably one of the great entertainers of the past four decades. But, the backstory now is focusing on his "drug abuse." FOX news, champion of the fair and balanced, ultra-conservative reporting/entertainment "viewpoint" is already building a sound, anti-narcotic prescription foundation. I foresee them looking ("outing") or watching many personalities on painkillers. My point - simply - is how this effects those of us who use these strong meds (I'm on vicodin 4x daily 10/500); this is a "lifesaver" for me. Someone else on such doseage might be deadly or at least life-threating. We are all different!! God bless Mr. Jackson - he'll be missed. Unfortunately, the "back-story" will be the "doctors" who allegedly fed him meds. Thus, making all doctors take a second-look at their pain med management. Or worse - such as constructing some sort of “watch list” of doctors, PA’s and patients. Thus, allowing many of us to continue suffering under-medicated. Posted on 06/28/09, 01:06 am |

I agree Cinnie, I am so sorry for what MJ had to endure during the last few years of his life !! I don't believe there was any molestation on his part. He knew too many important people from all walks of life that there would have been more than these 2 incidents. That crime is so unspeakable that there would have been some sort of sign. I have read that it was Lisa Marie that encouraged him to pay the first kid because it was such a horrible allegation. Then the second kid's family thought that they too would shake him down for a big cash pay off. About the drug use, I believe he was in pain. AND I do not fault him too badly about the abuse. We do not know what it was like to live his life. RIP MJ !!! About all of the attention now drawn to the use of narcotics for pain control, YES I do believe the media AND the REHAB HEADS have their OWN agenda !! I do think that it will change the landscape for the PM Docs unfortunately !! As well as the DEA getting even MORE in the mix. I think the Docs should be given random urine screens as well. Hugs, Deb
