Breaking News, Dr. Conrad Murray has just been found guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter for the death of Michael Jackson.
Even though one of the greatest performers of our time was a proven addict who doctor-shopped so that he could have the deadly drug Propofol, does not mean any doctor who has taken the hippocratic, or in this case "the hypocritic oath" -- should have administered any drug thatmay cause any human being's death, especially when they are known to be an addict.
We are all humans, be it celebrities or doctors- who in this case was Murray who was paid an obscene amount of $150,000 a month, while he spoke to numerous girlfriends while Jackson died slowly by himself with a deadly drip of a drug only meant for use of administration in a hospital or surgical setting with cardiology and respiratory equipment on hand.
Drug abuse is one the greatest problems that society faces today, and it is an equal opportunity destroyer that does not discriminate on the basis of fame, race, religion, class, origin or status.
Being famous, iconic and rich certainly does not help as the bottom feeders of this world, even doctors will do anything to ride on the coat tails of fame and celebrate greed and riches previously unheard.
While Jackson was indeed an addict and was responsible for his own actions of drug abuse, no doctor or anyone in his inner or outer circle should have enabled him for the many years he apparently took advantage of.
Murray should have been found guilty of Second Degree Murder.
Think about your own loved ones. Murray knew "in fact", in testimony, by speaking to, recording from his I Phone, and treating Jackson for years that he was addicted, and yet not only "did he not" reach out for help for Jackson, but became his personal drug dealer for Blood Money, administering the last deadly dose to a frail semblance of a once vital man who left three children behind.
I only hope that people and the courts will now begin to see how incredibly tragic that drug addiction has become for our society, which effects us all.
And if we cannot even trust our own doctors and paid caregivers, than we are surely in moral turmoil.
We clearly have a drug epidemic and no one seems to be safe, not even The King of Pop.
God Save us All
