Michael Jackson only wanted sleep. He would have paid anything to anyone who could help him get just eight hours sleep. Did he pay with his life? He only wanted eight hours sleep, but he went to his eternal rest. Was it because his doctors forgot, "first do no harm?"
Five doctors are under investigation due to Michael Jackson's death. Oxygen tents, valves of diprivan, a deadly anesthesia, were found in Mr. Jackson's home. He traveled with a mini clinic, equipped with oxygen and IV pole, did his doctors forget, "first do no harm?"
Three beautiful children are left without the father that loved them dearly, the father that they dearly loved dearly. A, precious, father that was so suddenly taken away from them, all because, maybe, a physician forget to "first do no harm."
A mother cannot be comforted; an entire family mourns the lost of a dearly beloved one. A family faces unbearable pain and today will lay their dear Michael Jackson to rest, all because, maybe, a doctor forgot, "first do no harm."
Billions of fans mourn the lost of an Icon, a legend, the greatest pop star that ever lived, the entertainer of entertainers, a beautiful and loving person, just because, maybe, his doctors forgot, "first do no harm?"
No doctor intentionally planned to play a part in Mr. Jackson's death. No physician meant for Mr. Jackson to die. However, they forgot to protect him from himself. They just wanted to give him what he wanted. What he needed, was not diprivan; that was just wrong. He would have given anything for a good night's sleep. He didn't feel alarm. He trusted the doctors that surrounded him; only, they forgot "first do no harm."

Post a CommentIn this case, I believe the doctors thought they were being helpful. They probably thought they had everything under control.
Doctors are only human and too many of them go for that extra buck, especially when dealing with celebrities, by handing out unneeded prescriptions. Some believe they are being helpful, I think.
Good commentary
That certainly seems to be the case - They forgot their oath, or ignored it for the sake of $.
