LOS ANGELES — Nearly eight months after Michael Jackson died, his personal physician, Conrad Murray was charged Monday with involuntary manslaughter for providing him with a powerful anesthetic that was ruled a primary factor in his death. Propofal is an anesthetic used for surgery, but Murray prescribed it to Jackson as a sleeping aide. This has sparked comments on "Hollywood HealthCare," the increasing prevalence of celebrities who convince doctor's to prescribe them their drugs of choice. Jackson referred to Propofal as "my milk."
