Jackson's Former Doc -- Reprimanded Over Rx

61. Dr. Metzger is a wonderful doctor and human being. He saved my Life 11 years ago and I am forever grateful to him.
I have never had such a caring dr. in my 50 years of life. Vever follow these gossip sites, but a friend saw Dr. metzger's name and told me to go online. I am apalled at the way people are attacking him. The truth will come out. I will continue with Dr. Metzger and refer anyone I know that is struggling with an auto immune issue.

63. A friend of MJ's said that MJ wanted to go out like Elvis. Not like Marlon Brando........He had a lot of debt and maybe he figured that if he "died" that his estate would rake in the money and the whole family would benefit, especially him. Jermaine made a point of saying he brought the children to see their father after he died. Why does anyone even need to mention that, it should be a given.

65. Huh? So you go to the doctor's to get A HepB injection. The nurse pokes you in the arm. The doctor doesn't write you out a prescription. You don't go merrily off to the pharmacy with prescription in hand to pick up the stuff. What am I missing?

67. Michael Jackson Wanted To Go Out Like Elvis Presley (Michael Jackson)
Michael Jackson had previously said he wanted to “go out like Elvis” when he died, according to pal Deepak Chopra. Chopra, 62, revealed that his son went on tour with the King of Pop: “My son Gotham traveled with Michael as a roadie on his Dangerous tour when he was 13.

It sends a shiver to recall something he told Gotham: ‘I don’t want to go out like Marlon Brando. I want to go out like Elvis.’”

68. I remember more than this. Janet was getting anti depressant & weight loss pills in the name of a female member of her staff. The woman say Janet's stash with HER name on it & she went ballistic. The Jacksons didn't even ask first if they could use employee's names on their meds! Janet was living in Malibu at the time, I believe.

72. When asked whether he’d ever stepped in or said anything about it, Jones responded: "Oh, we talked about it all the time. But he'd come up with, 'Man, I promise you I have this disease,' and so forth, and 'I have a blister on my lungs,' and all that kind of b.s....You can't talk him out of it. Chemical peels and all that stuff."

Quincy said he never believed Michael had a disease and thought his transformation was "ridiculous." "I don't understand it. But he obviously didn't want to be black...You see his kids?" said Jones.

The producer said he can't attend Michael's memorial because he will be traveling abroad. "My condolences and love I've already sent to the family. .

74. In a new interview with Details, Quincy Jones -- who helped launched Michael Jackson's career -- opens up about the sad and strange evolution in the late singer's appearance over the years.

Jones - who first worked with Jackson on 1979's Off the Wall - tells Details they'd talk "all the time" about how Jackson was changing.

"But he'd come up with, 'Man, I promise you I have this disease,' and so forth, and 'I have a blister on my lungs,' and all that kind of b.s.," he says. "It's hard, because Michael's a Virgo, man — he's very set in his ways. You can't talk him out of it. Chemical peels and all that stuff.

"I've been around junkies and stuff all my life. I've heard every excuse," he says. "It's like smokers — 'I only smoke when I drink' and all that stuff. But it's bulls**t. You're justifying something that's destructive to your existence. It's crazy."

Jones says Jackson's obsession with his appearances got to be "ridiculous."

"Chemical peels and all of it. And I don't understand it," he says. "But he obviously didn't want to be black."

Asked if that is the reason Jackson had undergone so much plastic surgery, Jones says, "Well, what do you think? You see his kids?"

75. WOW...these doctors really need to step up and take responsibility for THEIR actions. All I keep hearing on TV is the Hollywood doctors that prey on stars, going to their concerts and backstage, THEY are the pushers. They know the ins and outs of how to "hide" a celebrities name from going public about how many medications they may or may not be taking.
How many more stars are going to die because of these doctors? Hopefully the DEA and other law enforcement will start paying attention, BUT for Michael Jackson it came to late.
RIP....Michael, I hope you are at peace now and singing and dancing with the angels!!
God Bless you and your family.
