Jackson Doc Reaches Out to President Obama

Posted Aug 25th 2009 1:00AM by TMZ Staff

One of the doctors assisting the LAPD in Michael Jackson's death investigation has fired off a letter to President Barack Obama. The topic: To make it tougher for people to obtain "controlled medication."



In the letter, Dr. Susan Essien Etok -- the doc who claims Michael offered her £500,000 to supply him with drugs -- urges the President to consider "harsher punitive measures" for "unethical Doctors" who are willing to hand out strong drugs to anyone with the right amount of money.

Etok also says "no individual Doctor is responsible for Michael's death," then compares the singer's passing to that of Elvis Presley, Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith -- all of whom died with drug cocktails in their system.

2. It is a good and very salutary claim. Other people could support it, because if the government makes strong laws and punishment for unethical doctors, they would save many lives.
I totally agree with it!!!!!

9. Another idiot on gossip shows talking about how MJ wanted a fourth child with her so Paris could have a sister. Credible, yeah right. Her letter may have had more weight if she waited until all the facts are made public and people are charged and it's public what they are charged with. There still isn't even an "official" finding from the coroner's office, although I believe all the information that came out today is true, and especially in light that the Jackson family put out a statement today. What needs to change in this country immediately is any person that is interviewed by police in an ongoing criminal case, and who could be potential witnesses in a future trial, should be, by law, banned from talking to the media and going on talk shows, including their lawyers. This has gotten out of hand in this country for the last few years.

11. Oh, guys, you are exagerating. Maybe she actually cares about this subject. Or almost everybody are just trying to get their fifteen minutes of fame over MJ's death????!!!!
What do you think????

12. Where were these people when he was still alive? WHY did not they said what they knew to stop it before it was too late!!!! ...
It's fine to tell it now, but sad to realize that people have a "belated" conscience!....

13. Very good I hope through this horrible tragedy that the cocktail of drugs that Micheal had in his system assuming Dr.Murray gave him induced the cardic arrest and the long wait to call 911, Micheal could have been possibly saved well it's all said and done now and we have lost another great entertainer that we will never see again in our lifetime. Maybe through this it is greatly needed many entertainers in Hollywood are addicted to pain medications, sleeping pills, and seditatives and doctors are just feeding them the med's.
Even in the real world it is a problem if you can't get it from a doctor you still will find a way to get it. Many doctor's are pushing just writing prescriptions just to write them down to our children ADHD. Well hopefully something good will come out of this and the people who do get their medication use it correctly don't abuse it.

15. To Simone, seems to be that you are the only one not geting the point. Are you too, form the UK or somewhere else. Because all of us see her problem. No business sending letters to the President and also not waiting till the investigation is finished.
