Jackson Sought Out Anesthesia

Posted Jul 4th 2009 5:42AM by TMZ Staff

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.

31. Hmmmmmmmmm.....sounds like, now we know why Jackson wanted Dr. Murray to stay over night with him...I'm not saying Murray hooked Michael up to the IV....Michael could have did that himself....I dont know, but I do know Dr. Murray better start talking...the truth will come out DR.

34. This is boring TMZ, are you running out of steam, go snoop on the LAPD investigations to see if they've figured at out what we already knew - that AEG paid dr murray to snuf out mj. ummm I wonder if his dad's involved too....with his rather bizzare demeanour at the bet awards ceremony.

35. Shame on these doctors!!! They are responsible for what they prescribe. If they were giving him drugs that were not necessary they are at fault. They are the ones that could have stopped this. Too many doctors just give these drugs without thinking about the results. These drugs are VERY addicting and patients become addicted before they know what has happened.

36. #24 Real Stars: He was mainly covering up his Vitiligo but after these reports of the injection sites, its possible that was a reason as well.

#11-Unless YOU walk on water, let's put you under a microscope and see what "skeletons" YOU have in your closet, and bring them out for the world to see!! MJ is dead, and yet you are so hateful, mean, and pathetic, that you can't let it go.. You still have to point the finger at what other's supposedly did-let's see what you've done! Come out from behind your computer junior!! ONLY the victim, MJ, and God know if he really did these things or not. And God is the one who will judge him on judgement day, NOT YOU! But since you are judging him, YOU TOO will be judged for what you're doing here, among other things.
MJ WAS responsible for many things in his life that were positive for himself and/or his children. However, IF what MJ and his siblings say about their father growing up, then JOE JACKSON is also responsible for some of the dysfunctions of his son, and the others. Joe said it's only a beating if it's with a stick-WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A beating is a beating despite what is used-I don't care what race is doing it!!!! He used his son's fortune while he was alive and he's still trying to do it today-it's pathetic, ignorant and selfish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like many people including his own family knew MJ was using drugs, but either didn't care enough to say/do anything and/or the money was coming their way and they didn't want to jeopardize that!! But now that MJ is gone, everyone and their mother is coming out of the woodwork with their Michael Jackson "stories" to get their 5 minutes of fame and be paid also if possible. IF their stories are true, then WHY didn't they come out before or go to whoever they could to at least try and save his life????????????????? Very sad.

39. Poor Michael.How one could think anesthisia used frequently would not be harmful,shows how truly sad an individual Michael Jackson was.Did he ever think about the consequences of his actions?Did Michael ever think about his children?Why didn't anyone see how truly sick he was?Did any of the Doctor's that serviced him ,realize they wer'e comitting murder?How sad! What a waste.

WOW!!!! so happy to see that somebody that actually KNEW MJ is posting on this site...LOL! Tell us ((lidobalboa)) Just what was YOUR personal experience with Michael? You post as if you KNEW him so well. Surely you're not stupid enough to post remarks as you did about a person you didn't know.

41. Wait a second there are really people who don't think Michael was a child molester? Haha, thats funny.

42. Remembered this case: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/281882.stm ... and wondered how much it affected Michael's addiction to anesthesia.

43. Those of you posting these disgusting comments about Michael molesting children - SHUT THE F**K UP! Enough already.

44. Doctors who are supposed to save lives took his life.

45. what's the matter lori? truth hurt about your beloved MJ?

Reports that Michael Jackson has died of a heart attack in his home are untrue… He actually died having a stroke in the children’s ward.

It has been released that MJs last wish was that he wants to be melted down and made into a slide so kids can go down on him forever.
