drew pinsky joins us now. a lot of talk to you about.ng diprivan was found at michael jackson's home. when you heard diprivan, what did you think? >> that is a bizarre, bizarre thing. i thought, oh, my goodness. martians have landed outside my house. that's hue bizarre it is. >> bizarre because it's administered in the hospital? >> i've never seen it outside of an intensive care unit. >> you work with people who are addicted? >> addicted. i've heard of anesthesiologists becoming addicted because they're aware of diprivan. i've treated many celebrities and have never seen diprivan. it's really outlandish that that medicine be utilized out of the hospital or that the patient ask for that medicine by name, dose and route of administration. something is broken down in the doct doctor/patient relationship in that situation. >> the fact that we have now learned dr. gupta tracked him down, that michael jackson on his "history" tour, michael jackson had a doctor along with another anesthesiologist on tour with him. what does that tell you? >> th

pinsky, do you agree with that? >> i think the evidence suggests that. he took a turn after that experience. naturally, after a severe burn you would be exposed to opiates. in my opinion p-people are exposed for two weeks, four weeks, eight weeks are inadvertently addicted. >> what is the man to do? the man is in constant pain. >> there's something called hyper algesia. opiates, actually intensifies pain. i treated jeff conway. because of opiates. because of the addiction -- >> in my world, my average patient today on opiates comes in complaining of a 20 out of 10. they always say it's above the scale. i take them off opiates and within two weeks they tell me it's 4 or under, almost without exception. >> why do you think, deepak, michael didn't want to get better? >> michael had a lot of emotional pain also, in addition to his physical pain. he did want to get better. who doesn't want to get better? but internal dialogue says if i don't get this drug, i'll probably die. especially at that stage, right? >> that is actually the biology. you have the normal

drew pinsky. host of vh 1 "celebrity rehab" and author of "mirror effect: how celebrity narcissism is influencing america." what do you make, jim, of la toya's charges? >> i think that, i've spoken with a close friend of the family. they've been concerned people are controlling michael jackson through medication. >> were. >> i don't know that i'd use the term murder. they're clearly concerned that there was, as joe jackson said, foul play. >> larry: foul play implies we're going to come in there and kill someone. that's the way i read foul play. >> i don't think murder was on anyone's mind. i don't believe this was a premeditation, i don't believe there was malice. i believe there could have been. i think investigators are looking into whether there was recklessness, whether there was carelessness, whether there was negligence, where you would or should know that somebody could die. >> larry: negligent like manslaughter? >> like homicide. manslaughter, right. >> larry: what do you read into all th

. >>> drew pinsky joins us now. a lot of talk to you about. diprivan was found at michael jackson's home. what did you think about that? >> that is a bizarre, bizarre thing. i thought, oh, my goodness. never seen it outside of an intensive care unit. i've heard of an esthesiologist becoming addicted. it's really outlandish that that medicine be utilized out of the hospital or that the patient ask for that medicine by name, dose and route of administration. >> the fact that we have now learned dr. gupta tracked him down, on his history tour, michael jackson had a doctor along with another doctor on tour with him. what does that tell you? >> that a huge problem was underway. one of the problems with powerful celebrities is they tend to think they need special care. the reality is that the standard of care is the standard of care because it is the best. when a person starts demanding something special -- >> which is ironic. >> people with a lot of money and no money have a lot more in common in terms of the quality they get. the doctor sort of th

. >> with that background as prologue, drew pinsky speculates that dr. murray may not have fully grasped what he was being asked to manage medically. >> i don't think he understood what he was getting himself into. in reality, when looking at this person with a severe long-standing addiction, don't attempt this alone, i need a team of doctor should have gone through his mind. >> and dr. murray did in fact inject jackson with diprivan, dr. chose passes this -- >> he probably was not familiar with what he was giving and he couldn't refuse michael. i don't think dr. murray had criminal intent, you know. why would he? but he gave in to his patients' demands. >> i'm chris connelly for "nightline" in los angeles. >> murray who has not been formally called a suspect was inside his home during the raid and cooperated with the search according to his attorney. our thanks to chris connelly. >>> when we come back, money worries have this husband and wife at each other's throats so time for a personal finance intervention. nnnnnnnnnn ♪ is to get as far away from it

drew pinsky. dr. rodriguez, how serious of a drug is propofol? >> it is a very serious sedative, used primarily in the operating room and intensive care unit and in a few select other monitored circumstances. it's very serious and the reason is because it can make you stop breathing. as we can see it makes people die as well. >> if a patient says i would like to take it to help me sleem sleep, although we know it doesn't help somebody sleep, it puts them under. if they said they wanted this done in their home by someone who is not a trained anesthesiologist, does that make sense to you? >> insomnia is a common problem. many people suffer from it. this medication is not a medication that is commonly used for insomnia. there's many different ways to treat it. it wouldn't make sense for most of the physicians -- for any physician to use this in someone's home. >> dr. drew, have you heard of an instance where this drug was administered outside of a medical facility? >> i have not. i have seen propofol addiction in doctors. i'm the only one who has se

drew pinsky. author of "the mirror effect: celebrity narcissism seducing america." he sat in this chair friday night. did a great job. executive director of the wonderland center. recovering cocaine and heroin addict with 24 years of sobriety. thank you all of you for joining us. cherilyn, first to you. i remember early on seeing you do an interview with anderson cooper early in this investigation. you made a bombshell statement four days before michael jackson died, he called you and was desperate for diprivan. i remember watching that and thinking, she's crazy. within 24 hours, not only did the investigation turn around but you're the unsung hero of this investigation, because you directed a focus on a drug that would probably be overlooked. how did this come to happen? how did you come to treat michael jackson? >> i started with him in late january actually working with his children. i had a call. one call, he said his children had a little cold. he wanted something nutritionally for the cold. so i went in and did a complete assessment of the children. when i fin

drew pinsky told anderson cooper propoe follow cfol can b dangerous. >> it requires careful monitoring. there just isn't a protocol for the treatment of insomnia on this planet that includes propo follow and it is specifically a very serious problem for an addict because when it's combined with other things, it's likely to cause breathing problems and it's even been associated with very severe cardiac rhythm disturbances. with he hear story about michael taking other medicines. the combination may be the thing that did him in. >> murray's attorneys say they're not commenting on, quote, rumors, innuendo, or unnamed sources. they have said the doctor never gave michael jackson anything that should have killed him. court documents show authorities searched the doctor's office in houston and a storage unit as well last week. the l.a. coroner's office says a final autopsy report on michael jackson's death is expecteds as easter early as this week. >>> a church usher says he and dr. george tiller were talking when scott roeder walked in, put a gun to the doctor's head and pulled the trigger.

drew pinsky, about what might have gone wrong. >> insomnia is a very common problem. many people suffer from it. and this medication is not a medication that is commonly used for insomnia. there's many different ways to treat it. it wouldn't make sense for most physicians, for any physician, to use this in someone's home. >> dr. drew, have you ever heard of a situation where this drug was administered outside a medical facility in someone's home? >> i have never heard of such a thing. "b," i have seen propofol addiction in anesthesiologists and physicians, it's the only time i've ever seen it, because they're the only ones that are aware of this medication. it doesn't exist outside of a hospital. it's a very dangerous medication that requires careful monitoring. there isn't a protocol on this planet that includes propofol, "a," and, "b," it's a very serious problem with an addict. when it's combined with other things it's likely to cause breathing problems and it's been associated with cardiac disturbances. the combination may have been the thing that really did him i
