Eat Those Apples
Eat Those Apples
This article underscores an unfortunate point – too many doctors are creating drug addicts. Though it is not a majority of doctors, prescription drug abuse is generated through the prescription pad much more than it should be.
In today’s world “eating an apple a day to keep the doctor away” might just save lives in more ways than one.
There are some doctors we want to keep away – in fact far away.
“LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Search warrants filed Thursday in court in Clark County, Nevada, and carried out at properties of Michael Jackson’s doctor imply that investigators looking into his death believe the singer was a drug addict.
The warrants, signed by District Judge Timothy Williams and given to CNN by Las Vegas affiliate KTNV, say “there is probable cause to believe” that searches would uncover evidence at the Las Vegas home and office of Dr. Conrad Murray of excessive prescribing, prescribing to an addict, excess treatment or prescribing, unprofessional conduct, prescribing to or treating an addict and manslaughter.
They cite “probable cause to believe” that the premises contained “records, shipping orders, distribution lists, use records relating to the purchase, transfer ordering, delivery and storage of propofol (Diprivan).”
A source told CNN on Monday that the Texas-based cardiologist allegedly gave Jackson the anesthetic propofol — commonly known by the brand name Diprivan — in the 24 hours before he died.”
