With celebs like Anna Nicole and Michael Jackson just a few notable names among the LITANY of fallen stars, the judiciary needs to look harder at throwing the book at the enablers involved in cases like those w/ Conrad Murray and Howard K.

A trend which impresses upon people a reluctance to seek medical attention is exponentially dangerous. Even if Anna was a gold-digger in life, perhaps the results of a criminal trial associated w/ her death can trigger a positive change in the courts and in the medical community.

I take no medications, save a daily 81 mg. aspirin, so i don’t have to
succumb to the whims of a doctor who
receives kickbacks from the pharmaceutical industries for his
unnecessary prescriptions. I truly am afraid of doctors…
