Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who Michael Jackson allegedly begged to supply him with the dangerous drug Diprivan, was on "Good Morning America" -- saying she warned him about the medicine, telling him "you might not wake up the next morning."
As TMZ first reported, Propofol -- the generic name for Diprivan -- was found in Jackson's house after he died.
46. It is illegal for a health care professional to give information on a patient they treated. HIPPA violation clearly.

49. now all these bitches and bastards wants to say something, i'm so sick of these ppl who r trying to make a name for themselves and profit off this man's death. This heifer needs to sit her ass down somewhere. all these conflicting stories, one day its this, next day it's different. NO ONE know CRAP, and they r all making it up as they go along and speculating just to make money, sell magazines and boost their site, including TMZ, and for those who got something negative to say and trying to defame the man, YOU ALL WILL NEVER, NEVER BE ABLE TO DO IT. The small amout of haters out there CANNOT and NEVER will be able to measure up to the ppl who admire, care and love him, so u all might as well jump and get it over with. THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME, MICHAEL JACKSON, R.I.P BROTHER!!! let the haters keep on hating.

50. For speaking to the media and give detailed conversations that were between her and a patient, she will lose her lisence. She didn't even go to authorities as of last night when she was being interviewd on CNN Larry King and Anderson Cooper. She is so not allowed to speak of someone who was a patient, the law pertains to nurses, or anyone in the healthcare profession.

51. To all the people who think MJ didn't want to be black and was trying to become white (and who won't believe his skin lightening was caused by vitiligo), please note how many African-Americans he employed and kept in his inner-circle! The doctor, the nurse, the nanny, and I'm sure the list goes on. These are important positions that require both intelligence and trustworthiness and I think it says volumes about his feelings about African-Americans and should silence those who thinks he wanted to be white.
Thanks for the music, MJ.

52. This "nurse" has violated a person's right to privacy, whether alive or deceased. I am ashamed she is a nurse. You never, ever divulge a patient's health or medical situation, especially medications to the public!!??!! I hope the Jackson family SUES her and that her RN license is stripped.

53. At least she takes her job serously. I miss you Michael, my heart ache.

54. It’s very telling that this lady went to the media before the authorities. That seems to happen a lot. People know if they go to the police or an attorney they will be told to keep quiet. They are not seeking justice or acting out of good intentions to help the person in question or to help the investigation. They want their face on TV. I have no respect for them, and no respect for CNN or TMZ. They are essentially prostitutes, selling cheap news on every corner.

55. You only get this drug from an anesthesiologist or someone has to steal it out of the OR and onlysomeone who had access to the locked drug cabinet.
You can not get this drug from a pharmacy nor can a regular doctor prescribe this drug.
The drug can't be injected it can only be given through an IV
It is amazing that a network like CNN would not verify information before having someone on a show that is clearly making up stuff to get on TV.

56. She stated she had to call a friend who was a doctor because she didn't know what the drug was. The next thing you hear is her running down all the complications that might occur if someone took it. This from someone who hadn't even heard of the drug....I don't think she told Michael that. I think she did her homework after the fact and embelished a whole lot in front of the cameras. She said he had requested an anesthesiologist be there to monitor him. Sounds like he wanted to be on the up and up...The question now is: Who administered the drug and left him. What a pity. I hope they find out who did this and put them under the jail.

57. Hillary, you represent what we believe the medical community to be. This lady clearly cannot disclose private interaction with a patient. I hope she loses her lisence for what she did. Self serving at best by getting her face on every media outlet this morning and still hadn't spoken with authorities.
P.S. thank you for all the hard work your profesion does, I think it's clear this lady isn't a professional like you and others are.

58. For everyone who said she should have gone public with his request when he first asked for a possibly deadly drug, she couldn't. There is something called doctor patient confidentiality. If she had said anything to the media he could have sued her and she could have lost her license for breaking that confidence. I give her credit for not giving him the medicine in the first place. She did the right thing by refusing him. It's just too bad that he didn't listen to her. He listened to the doctor who told him what he wanted to hear rather than the one who actually told him the truth. It's very sad.

59. For going public after his demise she can get sued by his estate, lose her license and as Hillary said get ostracized by the public fans as well as the medical community. Confidentiality dead or alive you cannot break the laws of medical confidentiality. The estate will sue her no doubt and I bet by this evening or tomorrow she will stop talking cause she will have been spoken to by someone about what she did by opening her mouth to begin with and not reporting it to the authorities. Not even the police are revealing anything so how can this nurse who claims to be a RN publically speak. If they were allowed to break the law and speak publically, how many personell would have come forward already. She is disgusting piece of trash and has no business calling herself a nurse.
