    Yeah well, here the problem was, imo, a bad doctor. There would’ve been plenty ways to give the same effect without compounding the abuse from a single drug.

    It’s not like you administer propofol for yourself. But the social dynamic between a celebrity that famous and anyone who isn’t would ofc be different from regular patients. And propofol doesn’t exactly have a large abuser base, which would’ve made it easier to avoid a fatal dose…

    But anyway…

      Sorry, by ‘problem’ I meant the chronic insomnia he was treating with propofol, haha.

      But yeah, it’s absolutely the kind of drug only rich people could abuse, just because getting ahold of it and an anesthesiologist willing to break the rules is hella expensive.

        I know you did. But a doctors could’ve tried other milder substances to make it work, but when you work for a billionaire, you kinda do what they’re telling you or they hire someone else.

        So… The dr overtreated an issue they’re could’ve used multiple substances to treat with the same effectiveness, but dispersed risk.
