		<description><![CDATA[By now most of you may have heard that the late Michael Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Dr. Murray was painted as a reckless caregiver who was said to have administered a lethal dose of anesthetic that killed the King of Pop. A lot of people such as the fans and the family of Jackson cheered the verdict, some even singing to the tune of ‘Beat It’ too. And while Murray kept his poker-face stance all throughout, it makes you wonder; what if Murray did not administer those large dosages? What if Jackson continued to suffer to this day insomnia or worse, die from it eventually? This is looking at the different side of the case. This is not in defense of Dr. Conrad Murray but more of looking at what would have happened if it was the other way around. Jackson may have lived a bit longer but may eventually succumb to the sleep problem which was said to be pretty much serious. So in the end, Murray or any other hired physician hired by Michael would have been convicted too for being neglectful.

By now most of you may have heard that the late Michael Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Dr. Murray was painted as a reckless caregiver who was said to have administered a lethal dose of anesthetic that killed the King of Pop.</p>
<p>A  lot of people such as the fans and the family of Jackson cheered the verdict, some even singing to the tune of ‘Beat It’ too. And while Murray kept his poker-face stance all throughout, it makes you wonder; what if Murray did not administer those large dosages? What if Jackson continued to suffer to this day insomnia or worse, die from it eventually?<br />
<span id="more-4846"></span><br />
This is looking at the different side of the case. This is not in defense of Dr. Conrad Murray but more of looking at what would have happened if it was the other way around. Jackson may have lived a bit longer but may eventually succumb to the sleep problem which was said to be pretty much serious.</p>
<p>So in the end, Murray or any other hired physician hired by Michael would have been convicted too for being neglectful. </p>
<p>But just the same, the dosage issue of propofol is really the main issue here. And while Murray claims that he gave only a small amount to Michael who had complained of struggles to prepare for his shows, one can only wonder how “small” that amount was. </p>
<p>All is water under the bridge as Jackson is dead. But for Dr. Conrad Murray who stands to lose his license, a tight watch has been made on him. Why? The last thing that people would want to see is seeing a convicted doctor putting himself to permanent sleep as well. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Hearing of celebrities trying to keep themselves awake is nothing new but for rapper Eminem, admitting he is a drug-crazed insomniac seems to something serious. The rapper was admitted into rehab after being addicted to prescribed medication, admitting that he consumed so many drugs since 2005 making him unable to sleep properly. Eminem is comparing his problem with that of the late Michael Jackson who succumbed to an overdose of Propofol. Apparently while there is still time, Eminem may want to get the necessary help for him to overcome this dangerous predicament he finds himself in.

		<description><![CDATA[The King of Pop Michael Jackson is dead but up to now, the critics and specialists are not yet done and one on how he really died. Finger pointing continues and if the latest autopsy is any help, it is obvious that sleeping pills really had a hand on his demise. If you will recall, his doctor, Conrad Murray, is under fire for giving Jackson Propofol (Diprivan) for his continued complaints about Insomnia. And now we have this autopsy report from a said specialist that he was fit as an ox. The only abnormal thing about his autopsy was that Jackson&#8217;s arms were covered with punctures, his face and neck were scarred and he had tattooed eyebrows and lips. It looks like Murray has dug an even deeper hole for himself!

		<description><![CDATA[So now it can be told. Insomnia has been known to prey on much of the popular celebrities and apparently there seems to be a connection between Insomnia and the King of Pop’s death. Michael Jackson had been distraught on Insomnia for the past months and requested a strong sedative despite warnings it would be harmful. And for nurse Cherilyn Lee, she had already warned Jackson of the circumstances, much of which was ignored. The only question now is who was responsible for giving him the sedatives which was known as Diprivan. Several months ago, Jackson had begun badgering Lee about Diprivan, also known as Propofol, Lee said. It is an intravenous anesthetic drug widely used in operating rooms to induce unconsciousness. It is generally given through an IV needle in the hand. This is one of the angles seen on how Jackson died. From the looks of it and the background of Diprivan it does make sense. The question is, how did Jackson obtain it. This is not affiliated with Sleepzine.
