If his insomnia was so severe he could have consulted a specialist. Why bother using drugs that are not for sleep? It doesn't make sense to me. If I have a medical problem I go to the specialist doctor right? I don't go to a cardiologist if I have a headache. I don't go to the dentist if I have a gynecological problem.It doesn't make sense what they say he did.

Register or LoginDuring my few years of working in a hospital, I know for a fact that some interns and residen doctors did give themselves propofol and a few other drugs to get a quick nap and wake up refreshed when they were on 48 to 72 hour call schedules. Sorry to burst any bubbles, but it did happen and probably still does. But Propofol doesn't give you the sleep you need. How can they wake up refreshed? I'm confused.I can’t answer that, but it happened. They apparently got what they needed from it and went on about doing what they needed to do without problems. EDIT: I can understand sleep disorders and problems with falling asleep. I'm thankful I don't need anything to sleep but I know lots of people who do. I'm not saying Michael didn't have problems sleeping. The problem I have is with believing he took Propofol nightly to sleep. He would not have been able to function. And, if he took it nightly and Murray was only in his life for for a short while, who gave it to him during the months before Murray came on board?

We need pharmacists to speak outside their small twitter accounts.People, managers and media especially, still have no clue about whatis Demerol and what is Propofol and what are they taken for.I get impression for most out there Demerol=Propofol. Which is wrong onso many levels. Education anyone? Special courses for media people.Okay. I thought the initial story was Michael couldn't sleep during HIStory tour[he hated touring, he had reasons]and maybe that's when he first needed anaesthesiologist to travel with him.Propofol or it's analogue was used - no idea.Demerol has it's own story, painkillers started in 80s and were battled in around 1993.Demerol was making come back in early 00s, and our pretty Dr.Klein was using iton Michael in 09 as we all know now, irregular doses but really a questionablechoice for a patient with a history of painkillers addiction, be it 80s or 00s. Propofol is not physically addictive. Michael could be psychologically dependantat this point, with the thought of "nothing else will help me sleep!", but we do notknow if the whole Propofol story is true at all or was made up for hoax purpose.Ok, I bored even myself at this point :oops:

This video seems to indicate the Michael may have be doing Propofol as early as 1997. If you listen carefully around the 2:36 mark, it suggests that a doctor was with Michael when he woke up.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6ru1wO1nSk[/youtube]
If diprovan and propofol are the same drug, it happened! :roll: Don’t care what anyone says, I witnessed it being done. This is why I don’t like to reveal things on these forums. I didn’t say I heard someone say it, what I said is I WITNESSED IT. And that’s that.
Frank Cascio, a former personal assistant to Jackson who eventually became his close friend and manager, writes that he first noticed Jackson taking Demerol in 1993 during his "Dangerous" tour
