Isn't that how Michael Jackson was getting anesthesia medicine

He had to hire and board a full-time "personal cardiologist" to get that sweet, sweet propofol.

Doc was pulling $200k/mo, but lost his license and served two (of four) years of a prison sentence.

Oof. Poor Jackson… “brought down” in the evening, “brought up” in the morning (depressants, stimulants), that’s a hard way to live.

What evidence is there for stimulants? I remember reading he was trying to get something speedy but it seemed like he wasn't as "successful" as he was with obtaining the downers and anaesthetics

Same case as Prince right?

I dunno but I think his was fentanyl OD, bit different if in form not function
