The only mystery about Michael Jackson's death concerns who was prescribing what. Jackson died of drug addiction - a medical diagnosis regarding a progressive disease that can only achieve remission, not cure. Jackson did what every single prescription drug addict has found themselves doing - experiencing real pain, and seeking relief. The drug addict's experience of pain is REAL - the doctor who prescribes narcotics is simply using the fastest route to pain relief. pain management clinics, biofeedback, acupuncture, meditation, carefully supervised narcotics useage -- too time consuming.
Additionally, what physician, what person, would not want Michael Jackson as a patient, a friend, an anything? Whereas many people think it's only about Jackson's money, I think that's shortsighted. I'm sure the $$ plays a role - but to know one is MICHAEL JACKSON'S trusted physician? The allure, the second-hand celebrity, the ego trip - how heady!
The enabler of an addict is defined as 'a person who removes the consequences of the person's behavior'. Who would say 'no' to him? The people on TV who now say they did? hardly - they're trying to relieve themselves of their guilt.
Michael Jackson was a drug addict who was very successful in acquiring drugs. That's not about a character weakness, anything devious. As much of a genius as he was, a truly unique individual - he was also, simply and primarily, a ravenous drug addict. And that is a very real tragedy shared by many.
