Dr. Arnold Klein, Michael Jackson’s Dermatologist: "I Warned Him About Diprivan"

Dr. Arnold Klein, Michael Jackson's dermatologist, surfaced on "Larry King Live" last night and said that on occasion he gave the pop star the painkiller Demerol but warned him about using the powerful sedative Diprivan. He said that Demerol was among the strongest drug he prescribed Jackson and doesn’t know how he got Diprivan, usually administered by anesthesiologists in hospitals.

Investigators looking into the cause of Jackson’s June 25 death have zeroed in on drugs given to Jackson. Diprivan was allegedly found in Jackson’s home. Klein said “If you took all the pills I had given him in the last year at once, it wouldn’t do anything to you.” He said he discovered that Jackson was using Diprivan while on tour in Germany. Klein told Jackson the drug was dangerous: “I told him he was absolutely insane.”

Wait, I have to give my two cents. If Dr. Klein knew Jackson was taking Diprivan during a previous tour, why didn't he try to help him? He knew what could happen to the singer if he continued taking this dangerous drug. I am so irate about the enablers, hangers-on, drug pushers and trash that hung around Michael Jackson and watched him self-destruct. I hope Dr. Klein is investigated thoroughly. It's amazing that he didn't bother to share his concerns with the singer's family, but was only too happy to come on television to tell his "side" of the story.
