Conrad was dodgy as they come. Not calling 911 was basically admission of his own guilt and wrong doing, and that he was more concerned about a cover up than saving Michael’s life. He is very lucky he didn’t serve more time in jail. Remember when they couldn’t find him for a while after Michael died? Again, dodgier than dodgy.

I had to get a procedure done last February and I was put under using the same medicine MJ was using to sleep. The team caring for me said that no one should ever be on it without being closely monitored because it's not a sleeping medication, it's an anesthetic. You need to have breathing and heart monitors on while you are under. With the other stuff he was on it was definitely a cocktail for disaster. Some of this lays on MJ himself as he was using many drugs with many aliases but there is no way that particular doctor didn't know better than that about the anesthesia.

I had a procedure with that drug as well. I was the first person in and the first person out. I was the only patient they used it on that day according to the anesthesiologist, because of my meds. I can understand why it's popular as I woke up, wide awake and could have driven myself home in a very short while. It would seem Michael was using a higher dose coupled with 4 benzos. I don't understand why anyone would consider that drug for sleep unless the doctor thought it would wear off quickly and the benzo would keep him asleep. It really doesn't make sense to me.

It's also noted that prior to the later half of Michael Jackson's "Dangerous Tour" (1993), Michael had reconstructive surgery on his scalp to help repair the damaged scalp he sustained from that 1984 Pepsi commercial. This, the allegations, and the physical demands of his world tour took a toll on him immensely that he needed medical attention. It's evident even in his dress rehearsal for that final leg of that tour that Michael was not in the best physical and mental health to complete that tour. It's unfortunate the physicians who "treated" Michael didn't care for him in his best interest.

It doesn't matter what the environmental pressures are. It doesn't matter who gave me drinks or why. If I drink again, that's because I did it to myself. And if something happens while I'm drunk, the fault is all mine. Knowing this on a visceral level is one of the things that helps me not to drink. Accountability is a powerful thing.

🙋♀️ veterinarian here! I use propofol on a regular basis to help induce anesthesia on my patients prior to a surgical procedure. I like propofol because it passes through the blood brain barrier very quickly, so if there were to be a problem, the anesthetic gas could be turned off and the patient will wake up very quickly. However, it is a hypnotic agent. It causes transient apnea, which is deadly if not monitored properly. This is a great analysis Dr Grande! Thanks for all you do ❤️🐕🐾🐈

But you are talking about using propofol on animals right? Using a hospital strength anesthetic on someone at home who simply wants to sleep seems extremely irresponsible for the doctor. Unfortunately, I understand exactly what it is like when a person is already addicted to morphine or other narcotics to need something stronger to sleep but what doctor in his right mind applies a hospital grade anesthetic at home? Like someone else commented that means he should have been constantly monitored without one second of lapse. This idiot doctor was Caribbean trained where there is less value of human life in my opinion. Most third world countries don't care much about human life and death (based on my ancestry) so not as much diligence is put into human care. This Dr. was a jerk. Mr. Jackson did what he was required to do, he received medical supervision from a licensed doctor, so he had every expectation to be cared for, it isn't his fault he was overdosed by an idiot. Then that doctor killed one of the greatest talents of all time.Shame

I greatly appreciate your take on the addiction conundrum. For over 25 years, I could not figure out how to stop using alcohol and drugs (I stopped short of anything that required a needle. My fear of needles came in handy for once) Throughout the entire using span, I steadily used and drank more and more until, my wife of 15 years took my four children and moved 2000 miles away. Wouldn't you know it, I began to develop a sincere desire to stop drinking and drugging. I moved and lived close to my family, and sought help. It took 3 months before I drank and used for the last time, but I did it. My wife and I remained separated for over two years, while she monitored the person I was becoming, and then she let me back into her house. It's been fifteen years, and I wouldn't trade a clean and sober life for anything. It's so sad to hear of people dying as a result of not being able, or not figuring out how, to get free.

I lived and worked in a house for men dealing with Substance Use Disorder for 22 years. Most of our residents were also dealing with other serious mental health diagnoses, most commonly bipolar and schizoaffective disorder. Nearly all of the men had spent significant time homeless, in some cases decades, and over half were convicted felons. The men were sent to outpatient or day treatment programs in the area -- we did no treatment on site -- and they were also required to attend local peer support groups. Most attended Alcoholics Anonymous and/or Narcotics Anonymous meetings in the area. By and large they did quite well. Our recidivism rate was just under 25 percent, and even some of those who relapsed ended up doing well in the long run. In my opinion, the major reason our work was successful is because we offered a *community* of support. Whether one thinks that a person is powerless or not over their addiction, I have never known anyone dealing with Substance Use Disorder who got clean and sober on their own. They always had a community of people around them supporting them.

I had minor surgery. I was put under using fentanyl and midazolam. I remember slowly coming to, as I was being wheeled out of the OR. It was such a beautiful feeling of peace and euphoria. I was totally unaware of my physical body. If I had regular access to those drugs, I'd be dead in short order.

One thing I've learned is that people that I've known quite well (some eve family members) that become addicted to opiates are never the same again. Even if they find a way to stay clean, they are different. I don't mean necessarily in a bad way, but it does change people. It is also frightening how quickly they can fall back into addiction even after a long time. I don't think the brain ever stops craving.

I've been in chronic pain for 26 years and I've forgotten what it feels like to _not_ feel pain. I also know that, even with pain medication, I'm going to feel this way every single day for the rest of my life. I totally understand the "pain free fantasy". However, I can't imagine taking the types of meds MJ was on. I wonder if he truly believed that since the drugs came from a doctor, and a doctor was administering them, he wouldn't die. Did he not understand the danger he was in? I guess I don't understand the mind of an addict. It's just so tragic. Btw, I saw MJ in concert in 1988. To this day, it was the *best* concert I've ever been to. It was an experience!

As someone who followed michael avidly the only time I felt concerned was 2000-2003. His security had changed, and the old team would never have allowed him to go out like it. He was definitely on a lot of things. He was either really up and overtly outgoing and chatty which he wasnt really with us fans before or he was really slow talking and looked asleep. Very sad period. When he came back from Ireland he was his normal self and energised, but again he surrounded himself with some dubious characters. And repeat.

Dr. Grande, I wonder if you could examine the insomnia that seems to have plagued so many public figures who ended up meeting an early death, either from medication or suicide. I am curious as to whether they couldn’t sleep because of various medications that were prescribed in order to keep these performers “on” as much as possible, or if there is an overarching mania or neurosis that one could associate with the personality type that drives a strong desire to entertain others. Or perhaps if fame itself causes these sleep issues. thank you as always!

People use drugs, alcohol, food, exercise - and many other things - all for the same reason : to deal with emotional pain. It may be from things that they are conscious of, or things that are buried in the subconscious, (such as with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.) The way to move towards freedom from all of this is to get the right kind of therapy and therapist. PTSD and Complex PTSD need therapists who are trained and experienced in trauma focused therapy. From what I understand, it seems likely that Michael Jackson had Complex PTSD from his childhood.

Excellen t analysis Dr, Grande. As a person who worked with alcoholics for decades dealing with pain prescribing doctors was one of our most difficult problem. Our patients would succeeed in abstaining form alcohol just to come back to the halfway house with a prescription for lorazepam or Ativan. Then they would add a pint killer or two. Soon they would add the alcohol back in and we would have to discharge them from the house. The problem is that as staff we had no power to overturn a doctor's presecription and some doctors were just running pill mills.

I'm currently studying addiction at University. According to current thinking, there are individual, social and environmental factors involved in addiction. Poor family life and a lack of social support can be a risk factor. Availability is another- being wealthy makes access easier, but it also makes treatment more accessible. The high rate of problematic drug and alcohol use amongst entertainers is another influence. There are also personality and genetic factors that are thought to increase risk of addiction.

Having had Propofol as intended for numerous surgeries, there's an avenue to it that's not talked about or considered. For some artistic folks, a micro dose opens windows of a creativity high that is short lived but highly intense. Kinda like a quick in/out LSD trip. If you fall asleep, you forget. Stay awake and you can remember the dream. Perhaps MJ also experienced this duality and mistakenly thought he could "sustain" the intensified creativity memories AND get the rest he so desired in a pain free state. It was the docs job to care for mind AND body but MJs status, and money, got the better of him. Could MJ have coerced or bought an anasthesiologist - pain management specialist? Probably yes as he'd snowballed others to get where he was.

I feel bad for Michael Jackson because his father was extremely cruel and he never had a childhood. Back in the 1960s and 1970s record companies made their artists tour constantly. This meant they spent little time at home with some kind of normal down time. Black artists especially were pressured to work harder, sing better, dance better and dress better to prove they were at least as good as their white counterparts. Michael Jackson really had no frame of reference for what a normal child hood looked like.

Excellent video , Dr. Grande. Seeing a professional like you tell us all the pitfalls Michael was letting himself fall into was enlightening. For me ,one of the most distressing characteristics of Michael Jackson's existence was his apparent continual disgust with his physical appearance. Michael Jackson was a handsome young black man with zero need to ever change anything about his appearance. I wish his father ,who was a driven monster of a human being had driven that idea into his head. Be happy as God made you because He makes artwork. Tell anyone you need to change your face that they need to go straight to Hell. Obviously, those very few people born with obvious issues need corrective surgery but Michael was never one of them. It really did break my heart with every new release seeing him turned , by Hollywood horror doctors , into an increasingly bizarre version of the handsome young man we once knew. We see this form of plastic surgery sickness in so many people today. That there is always a better version of me after the next knife job. That today I am simply not good enough. In another universe, maybe Michael was good enough. Maybe Michael sang his songs, never changed his face once , retired on fat cash , married a woman and had eight happy kids. I would have liked to have seen that universe. Rest In Peace, Micheal.

He was in a photo shoot for ebony magazine in 2007. He looked stunning. He was the most handsome awesome man I have ever known and was gorgeous. He had three beautiful children and was a good father. He was a happy positive dynamic strong brave self disciplined person. He was loved by millions. He was a winner. He came to see me in spring 2009. He was fitt and healthy and no trace of drugs. He was no addict. He was murdered and this murder was premeditated. Conrad Murray was helped he was not even charged properly . He should of faced a murder charge with life in prison. The people who assisted Murray should also of been charged. There was alot of disinformation in the media. Certain psycophants did not help. For example Lisa Marie who had nothing to do with Michael for many years and who had remarried had the nerve to compare his death to her fathers elvis. There was no similarity at all. Michael was not a Drug addict it's a lie. Michael was happy with a strong heart and great future ahead of him with a woman he loved and children who loved him. People who did not care about his fame or money. Shame on all of you swallowing media disinformation. Michael did not deserve this rubbish.

But you feel tired and crappy and diet and exercise don't seem to be making any difference. I would LOVE to find a solution and be able to function w/o pain or regularly get a full night's sleep. Michael (Prince, Elvis, I'm sure there are plenty more) found a solution ... one that isn't available to the rest of us ... he had the money and influence to get doctors (and many others) to do what he wanted. Success is a double edged sword!! But he paid the ultimate price & his children were left fatherless. It's something to think about.

Dr. Murray could’ve ordered a pulse ox and simple strap heart monitor that would both alarm if Jackson’s heartbeats or oxygen levels would fall out of the dialed in parameters. These monitors were available way before the invention of Amazon who btw sells these devices. Addiction and greed fanned this fire.

Another excellent and insightful video and analysis. I have thought about this a lot too (not in terms of Jackson but overall) is someone responsible for their behavior if they are drunk, high or both? I personally feel yes they are. They chose to take these substances and if they are old enough or mature enough they should most likely have at least some notion that these can lead to significant behavioral changes where they are out of control. In some way I feel it's almost like a Gaslight (to say hey it wasn't really me. It was the booze or the drugs) but isn't that a perfect aliby (obfuscation?). It's like a get out of jail free card where you can always blame someone else. That said as you pointed out I think at some point the drug hijacks your mind and you may no longer be in the driver's seat as your addiction has taken over and even when sober you're not clear in your mind because it's all about getting your next fix. I've known people (including myself) who have done incredibly dumb things while under the influence. I feel very fortunate I never hurt anyone or worse but It surely could have happened. And when it does who is responsible? You? The drug? The drug company? The bartender? Where does the buck stop? I personally think especially once we reach adulthood (mentally the age can vary) there comes a Point where we must assume responsiblty for our behavior no matter what. It's a thorny topic indeed and interesting conversation thanks for all your amazing insights

The MD should have been prosecuted for 1st degree murder. Anyone in the medical field knows that when using propofol you need advance monitoring and the ability to ventilate. On the surface he's to blame but when someone is addicted the blame shifts towards the person supplying the meds. I always wondered if he had undiagnosed bipolar disorder and tried to self treat his symptoms.

Thank you for this analysis. My brother has suffered from substance abuse his whole life and it's much too simple to say either way what is causing it... Your own choices or your diseased brain? Compassion, not blame, is the best course of action. MJs tale is a sad one for sure.

I think the fire killed him cause it created his injuries which required him to use pain killers.

As a former H addict (former) Michael would have done anything to get drugs, including getting useless operations. Ultimately, Michael had to take responsibility for his addiction, if it wasn’t a doctor he would have gone to H, anything to get it. As far as a “disease”, I’m not sold, even at my worst times, I knew how to get help and stop, which I eventually did.

I'm really on the fence about the disease part. AA helps a lot of people. They really push the disease angle. I was talking to a friend who has struggled with addictions, too. Neither one of us really think of it as a disease. She thinks that line of thought, is fostered and fueled by the pharmaceutical companies. I don't know.

Conrad Murray was in serious debt before he was hired by Michael Jackson so he was going to do whatever Michael Told him to do. So they’re both in the wrong. Rest In Peace. King of pop

Murray fathered 7 kids with 6 different women at that time, according to Wikipedia.
