Jackson Sought Out Anesthesia

MIchael JacksonMichael Jackson made the rounds at L.A. doctors' offices, often getting anesthesia for minor outpatient procedures -- procedures that did not require anesthesia.

Medical sources say Jackson would get cosmetic surgery, collagen injections, Botox and acne treatment for which he would often be put under or sedated, even when it was not medically necessary.

One medical source described Jackson as "an anesthesia addict."

We're also told Jackson would get controlled substances, such as Demerol, during and after these minor procedures.

The question now -- which docs were happy to oblige the singer?

As we first reported, police found the anesthesia Propofol in Jackson's house after he died, and it's looking like that's the drug that killed him.

8. This is what I dont understand.
Michael was seen earlier that morning waving to fans ect..
Why would someone want to be given an anesthetic drug at tthat time of the day?
The plot thickens

9. I wonder if he got the cosmetic procedures JUST for the meds. I mean, it's not like the results improved his looks. There had to have been some purpose behind it.

10. It's the doctors who seem unprofessional, if this is the truth. I go to the doctor and I've had "minor" things done. If a doctor is a professional he/she is not just going to give you meds because you want them or put you under because you want to. Sounds creepy to me...

12. I would need an anaesthesia like that to sleep if I did to children what he did, too. He's a molester with a conscience. Well -- was -- lol

15. Today while I was sitting in an office. I saw a man with an I.V in his arm (bandage). And it made me think of all those pictures of Micael wearing Arm Gloves or Shields and the tape on his fingers. (mm could those be places he would inject stuff into himself...or take blood test??) Was Michael covering up an I.V line when he wore these Items. Cause how many times have we ever see him in a short sleeve shirt..and if he did wear one..I bet that day he did not have the I.V in his arm. So.... this is just a theory I came up with while I was waiting 3 hours in this office today.
Makes you all think Don't it!!!
