I think they were trying for something that they were not able to get in over objections. The defense wanted to get this doctor to say that MJ had an extensive drug problem. But whenever they asked about anything like that they were shut down. Also I noticed that the doctor said a couple of times, " I wanted to see the kids, I wanted to keep track of the kids or an eye on the kids." It made me think he was implying that there was a concern on his part about the welfare of the kids, but of course nothing like that was ever testified to. But this doctor had gone on tour with Michael before and was not allowed to discuss anything about that tour.
I thought it was funny when he testified, when asked if he had treated MJ for insomnia, that he first tried Tylonel PM. LOL MJ could take 8 Lyezepams and not feel a thing, and he tried giving him Tylenol Pms?
Dr. Meiser testified that MJ confided in him that he was under a great deal of stress due to his upcoming tour when he visited Michael and his children at their home on April 18 2009. Michael called his long-time doctor to come over so he could discuss his health concerns with him privately.
Chernoff: What was MJ’s mental state?
Dr. Meiser: Excited, he shared his ideas with me and fears about the tour, MJ realized it was a huge obligation and he didn’t want to fail. MJ believed he was up to the task but fearful about his ability to stay healthy. Michael had a profound sleep disorder for over 20 years.
Dr. Meiser: After performing - MJ could not come down. MJ had a profound sleep disorder while he was on tour.
Dr. Meiser treated his sleep disorders infrequently. I think he said he toured once with MJ.
Dr. Meiser gave MJ a Rx for Klonepine and trazadone in April 2009 rather than the "juice" he was seeking. He cautioned MJ not to take these meds together.
Chernoff: Did MJ mention taking you to London. Did he discuss a need for a doctor and why?
Dr Meiser: Yes, MJ was concerned about hydration, injury and sleep. Gave him a RX for trazadone and klonepine.
Dr. Meiser knew MJ was seeing Dr. Klein for mild cosmetic issues and skin issues and Dr. Randy Rosen for pain management in April 2009. MJ was suffering from chronic back strain from over exertion and several other types of injuries at this time.
MJ asked Dr. Meiser for intravenos sleep medication but not specfically for Propofol. MJ told Dr. Meiser the sleeping aids he was given weren't working.
