Propofol as a sleep aid?


More news on the "sleep aid" Michael Jackson was taking at his home. Did you see this today in the New York Times?

Depressing. And frightening. And, regarding Michael Jackson's story, raises more questions on what in the world he and his doctor were doing.

This is your (sad, creepy) quote of the day, from the NYT article:
"Using propofol as a home sleep aid would be 'kind of like me using chemotherapy so I don’t have to shave my head. You'd never do that.'"
--Dr. John F. Dombrowski, director of the Washington Pain Center and a board member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists
