I've never been a court TV fanatic. However, this time around, I find yellow journalism peaking my interest as it relates to what we have been learning so far this semester. I only find it funny that they used a IV infusion setup and description as part of the prosecutor's cross examination of the toxicologist.
The evidence today highlighted
Anderson identified a host of powerful prescription drugs in Michael Jackson’s blood, including the sedative propofol and other anesthetics.
The toxicology report indicates the following six drugs were detected in Jackson’s system:
Propofol (Diprivan)
Lidocaine
Diazepam (Valium)
Lorezepam (Ativan)
Midazolam (Versed)
Ephedrine
Now CNN is looking at bringing the pharmacologist in to testify on the mechanism of action of propofol and its metabolism. Who knows maybe they will use Ttrissel's IV compatibility charts and Micromedex. Imagine that.
