Michael Jackson begged for Diprivan,Cherilyn Lee, a former nurse for the late Michael Jackson-

Cherilyn Lee, a former nurse for the late Michael Jackson, claims that the singer begged for the drug Diprivan, via IV drip, to get to sleep. She disapproved, because the medicine he was allegedly requesting was so strong, he "might not wake up.





Shortly after CNN aired an interview with Drew Griffin claiming that the late Michael Jackson was "adamant" for a powerful sedative, she was interviewed by John Roberts and went into a little further detail. Roberts says he is familiar with the drug, having underwent shoulder surgery years ago.






The registered nurse returns to CNN, this time on "Larry King Live," to tell her story about the late Michael Jackson's request for Diprovan to Larry King, who admits that he was administered the drug during cataract surgery.



Diprivan, which has a milky appearance, is sometimes nicknamed “milk of amnesia.” Last fall, doctors from the Mayo Clinic warned at a conference that in rare cases, Diprivan can trigger an irreversible chain of events leading to heart dysfunction and death.

They said three patients receiving Diprivan to treat severe seizures had suffered cardiac arrest, and two died. The doctors said the clinic stopped using Diprivan to treat such patients because of the danger.

The drug’s manufacturer, AstraZeneca PLC, warns that patients using Diprivan should be continuously monitored, and in a tiny number of cases patients using it have suffered cardiac arrest, although it was not clear the drug was to blame.


Edward Chernoff, an attorney for Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, said Friday through a spokeswoman that he had agreed with investigators not to comment until information is released through official channels. Murray was in Jackson’s rented mansion when the singer went into cardiac arrest in his bedroom on June 25.

Murray has spoken to police and authorities say he is not a suspect. In an earlier interview, Chernoff said Murray never gave or prescribed Jackson the painkillers Demerol or OxyContin, and denied reports suggesting that the doctor gave the pop star drugs that contributed to his death.

Chernoff would not discuss what drugs the doctor administered to Jackson, but said they would have been prescribed in response to a specific complaint.
