Dr. Conrad Murray has been brought to justice. He has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Michael Jackson's death. Now, I feel that we need to assemble more resolute juries to convict the other doctors that were connected with Michael Jackson's premature demise. Whether he was a drug addict or not, the doctors that helped him nurture his addiction should be prosecuted as well.
And that goes for any doctor that contributes to prescription drug abuse. A doctor without ethics is akin to a drug dealer. They both could care less about the person they are dealing drugs to. It's all about the financial gain. No doctor should want to become the equivalent of a drug peddler. If they do,they deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Here's more from Reuters:
" Michael Jackson's doctor, accused of killing the pop star with a powerful anesthetic, has joined a small but growing number of U.S. physicians facing criminal charges over their handling of prescription drugs.
Medical negligence cases in the United States are typically handled in civil court, with the victim or victim's family seeking money damages from the doctor.
In the case of Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, prosecutors allege his negligence was so extreme that he should be charged with involuntary manslaughter and punished with prison time.
Fatal overdoses from prescription painkillers more than tripled to 13,800 in the United States in 1999 through 2006, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."(End of Excerpt) Read the rest here.
