Jackson Drug Aliases

Posted Jul 2nd 2009 12:30PM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonMichael Jackson used a slew of aliases to score prescription meds, and we know the two names that could unlock the key to gross abuse by Jackson and some prominent doctors.

We've learned Jackson frequently used the names Omar Arnold and Jack London to get powerful drugs, including Demerol. Jackson also used the name of one of his bodyguards, as well as the name of the office manager for one of his doctors.

The DEA, which is joining to assist the LAPD in its investigation of several doctors who prescribed drugs to Jackson, will be hunting down these names and others.

Sources tell us the prescription abuse was so egregious, one doctor would call the pharmacy and say Jackson was coming down to get Demerol. The pharmacy would then fill the prescription, leaving the patient's name blank.

18. Just another example of what money can buy you. Average Joes can't get the meds they actually need since their HMO won't cover it but celebrities can just pick and choose from the PDR like a mail order catalog.

19. This is so sad how no one says anything - until someone is dead. Michael may be partly to blame, but these enablers are also at fault. Hopefully the DEA cracks down on a lot of people...

20. Questions, questions...

So we know Jackson purchased the drugs, but had he also purchased the resuscitation equipment & associated revival drugs needed in case of emergency? What about an oxygen mask & tank? A heart monitor at the very least? If zero equipment present, why not? (Please don't tell me there was NO equipment found in the room, it's not like he wouldn't have bought it if told it was essential). I'm sure he wouldn't knowingly let a doctor play with his life like that.
And just WHY did the doctor choose to leave him alone in bed after giving him such a dangerous, powerful ANAESTHETIC drug?!! He was well aware of the stupidly high risk involved. That's begging for trouble.
Surely Dr Murray would've needed to be at Michael's side continuously, watching him & monitoring machines incase a worst-case scenario like this happened? It makes me wonder how many times he had administered this drug to Michael previously - enough times to presume that leaving the room on occasion was permissable? Did he even give the correct dosage? I understand it to be pretty difficult to establish how much of this drug was given, as it breaks down in the body very quickly (hardly leaving a trace = almost perfect murder drug),
I'm thinking the doctor had falsely assured Michael that he stayed by his side the entire times he was unconcious, but for some reason known only to him, hadn't on this occasion. Seems this fateful day our friendly doc just upped & went for a leisurely stroll... hmm, bored of sitting for hours watching Jackson "sleep"?
Ultimately, and by a consequence of this insane absence, Michael died.

Or maybe Murray just sat there the entire time and did nothing, watched him slip away. Awful notion i agree, but you never know. He wouldn't be the first doctor known to kill for kicks - the serial killer doctor Harold Shipman springs to mind. He killed dozens of his elderly patients by injecting them with lethal doses of diamorphine, then expertly covering his tracks. He enjoyed their moment of death, gained pleasure from it, and found this buzz of killing addictive...
In that case, i would suppose Dr Murray would then have to apply (ahem, purposefully sloppily-performed) cpr to make it look like he did everything possible to save him.

I wouldn't be suprised if it comes to light that the doc had been helping himself to drugs.

Thoughts?

21. The office I worked at saw MJ on a few occasions. Our doctor knew he was addicted to pain meds. But he tried to lower his dose so that he would not experience bad withdrawls. MJ insisted he was in severe pain, and would even cry. What can you do, he seemed to have real pain although I believe he was just a lonely man who tried to console himself with his drug use. I felt there were a lot of "unethical" drug use so I quit years ago and moved away. There have been many celebs that were seen by this same doctor even at their homes.

22. The sun times and so on he foundout that he had LUPUS in 1986 and as anyone knows it take a garbage bag of pills to keep you going with LUPUS.This is BS news non-news he was reported by hollywood news to have lupus way back in 1986.They are building storys to make bank notes as hollywood is goinf down the internet TUBES

Posted at 12:55AM on Jul 2nd 2009 by LUPUS as reported by FOX news in 2007

23. OMG, Jack London?? And nobody batted a lash? Maybe I will try Emily Dickinson and see if I can pull it off. Jesus. He (jackson) is guilty of being an addict but these people are supposed to be freakin' health care professionals?? I hope they never know a moment's peace from here on out. It is their job to say no and put on the brakes to such behavior. This news is nothing shocking. Average people use aliases to score every day why not a superstar. But the onus is on the healthcare personnel for not being ballsy or responsible enough to say no.

24. We should be thanking these doctors, one less sociopath out there. I'm starting to think that these same fools who have been lauding MJ are the same morons who voted for Obama. It makes sense, cult personality and all. This comment may be to complex for some to understand.

I'm also starting to think that Harvey is a little pervert-so much coverage over a disgusting "human being" named ....well no need to write his name...Levin seems to be protecting MJ, why??

What a waste of gov. resources on this scum and his disgusting family.

27. It was a well known fact fthat Johnny Cash had a terrible pill addiction. It was the love of June Carter Cash and the help of her family that helped Johnny get over his addiction......Too bad Michael did not have a solid support system....God only knows what those kids have seen in their young lives. I can only imagine......

28. Michael Jackson's death is turning out a 3 ring circus like Anna Nicole's death. All so tragic and needless. What a waste of talent... : (
