If Perry was an average Joe, no-one would have been arrested.
Doctors killing more people in US than your local dealers.
This is crazy to me!! if this guy was a homeless person that wouldn’t even care about it, but because he was rich, they moved earth in heaven to find out who gave him the pills😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
God bless you MP!😢
Another Dr Conrad Murray…
So Matthew Perry is the victim? He isn’t responsible for using his resources to find and use the drugs? It’s someone else’s fault.
Illegal drugs can kill.
Math: Ketamine Vile cost $12. Uncharged victim by 229 times, to the cost of $2,750 each. Made $55K, gross income.
These doctors are greedy, but also incredibly incompetent, financially. Made $55,000 in one year, sacrificing their multimillion dollar lifetime earning potential.
And of course this was the only drug he ever took recreationaly right??? Give me a break as far as I’m concerned another deadbeat addict who topped himself what about all the deadbeat addicts on the streets who are they a victim of???? Just like him, themselves!,,
Blame the police for allowing drugs lol
He was a drug addict. They were drug dealers.
Non were doctors that take the oath 'to do no harm'.
Simple. Also sad.
His own live in assistant……not a friend, just a scumbag.
I hope when the judge sentences the two doctors he says, `I wonder how much time you morons will serve in prison, well let's find out.'
I get that ketamine is different than other meds, but it's people like these that make it nearly impossible for someone with real injuries, like me, to get any kind of pain medicine whatsoever. It really p!sses me off
He did this to himself and so do any other celebrities.. They can't deal with themselves when sober because of the evil things they have done
Just goes to show you how empty the pursuit of fame and fortune is. Much better to pursue a life of helping those in need.
We don't have a well-tested, affordable healthcare system with the proper testing of providers, especially as it pertains to staying up to date on research and rare illnesses. Indeed many so called "rare dieases" are not as much rare as they are not caught by doctors who don't want to be bothered to learn about them. I once had a doctor brag about a procedure that his friend often did that bought him his, "first sports car" as in that was why he enjoyed during it so much. This doctor also gave me amphetamines for what turned out to be Autoimmune Encephalitis. I almost died and suffered for eleven months before getting the right treatment. I can't count how many times I've been mocked or simply ignored by doctors/medical staff when I was in a medical crisis both in offices and hospitals. We need to make sure the people caring for us in out most vunerable state are capable and compassionate. RIP Matthew, regardless your demons, you spread light and love to so many. ♥
How very sad, taking advantage of his addiction problems for their own benefit, not caring whether he lives or dies. Hope these doctors and this surgery queen go to prison.
This sounds so much like Elvis
King junkie meet queen dope dealer
A special place in hell for those people who take advantage of anyone with any kind of weakness….
It was his will and decision. Let him lay in peace.
Second M. Jackson.
Those people should be charged with Wilful Murder!
Government needs to send a strong message to Doctors who violate their oath. Max. Penalty
so….we find out that ALL DRUG DEALERS are NOT the stereotypical scummy people who stand on street corners pushing drugs to locals and children on playgrounds. THE "UPSTANDING" MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY ARE DRUG DEALERS TOO. + BIG PHARMA.
WHY ARE THE NAMES OF THESE KILLERS NOT PUT OUT IN PUBLIC…LIKE OUR NAMES WOULD BE.?
I see a bunch of hateful people calling people “addicts”, saying it’s their fault. Have a friend struggle and you might change your cold damn hearts! We should be kind to people! If you call someone an “addict”, you’re basically wishing them the end. Maybe, when it turns out to be one of YOUR friends or family, your judgment will change. Addiction is a disease, and it’s hurt people trying to medicate pain. Have a heart! Humans can be so nice, but also be so very cruel 😢 People also seem to cover this when it’s a Hollywood star, but what about the regular people who need help? What about them, they matter too!
