Nearing the End of Meds

Well thank god I this is my second last day of being on these meds of Amoxicillin and Prednisone if that is how they are spelled. And they have done a great job. I am moving away from my collaborative regarding MJ, but in learning of how he passed is really something I think that many people should take into consideration.

There are very strict laws with medications here in Canada. Narcotics of any nature are monitored closely and it does not matter whom you are or your economical status. So the entire country is computerized.

I guess what I am trying to say is America's medical system is not computerized right across the nation as of yet. And it seems from what I have read that MJ did not pass away for any other reason than having too many narcotics in his body on that one day - not an overdose but what will happen when there is too much of one or in this case a few medical narcotics at probably high doses in his blood stream.

Apparently he had pain - but there are a varied real of different pains the body will have - neuropathic pain, or addiction pain. And then there is pain outright for good reasons from an injury or from things of the likes of arthritis etc.

However in this case, I think that double doctoring was the case and it's a pity that he stopped breathing only due to too many substances within his system. My thoughts are where was at least one member of his family and secondly where is an accountable medical system whereby if class 1 2 and 3 Narcotics are in a federal medical data base that monitors and if there questions of amounts of medications then notifications are sent out to the doctor(s).

I think that his current doctor actually was hired so that he was monitored as well so that he would get the required insurance for this upcoming tour he had. It's a pity that much like Elvis he died due to pills. And I am not anti pills. However I am very displeased with those doctors that obviously went past the two week or conservative method of dealing with what he found as pain. As it's not all fixed within a narcotic. And there are more people in Canada and the USA - I am not sure of other countries that are addicted to pills. There is a difference between addiction and the need to be on something but my point is - it should be monitored.

He was an addict. But a medical addict only becomes one by way of that first time in which a doctor prescribes out medications with repeats - which is so rarely done.

Demerol and Oxycontin and perhaps more. I would dare to say that he probably built up such a tolerance and then he over did it or he may have had a strenuous day - but damn those doctors that just wrote "scripts". And money can buy many things - as well money can be something that enables something that leads to a music icon that may have been much different if not on all of these medications. Meaning narcotic medication. 

I know America will not have the same system of that Canada has but I do hope that computers an across the entire country monitoring system does come into play during President Obama's term. 

Please do note that some here probably or may be on something - pills are not bad when taken as advised and from a good doctor. I recall when I was living in New York and my GP there was in Manhattan and he had a huge place going on and within a month he had me hooked up to an heart tester - I forget the name of the machine. He said that I had a problem with my heart as it missed a beat now and then. And he prescribed a medication for it called Delicor if I recall.

I got on the phone with my GP in Canada and he told me to have asked for this test to be sent to him and it was never sent - go figure. When I arrived back in Canada 8 years ago, I had no heart problems.

Money speaks high but in this case an Icon did not have to go down during this day and age.
