Michael Jackson: addict or not? Did D Dr. Klein get ambushed? And what is a primary care doctor really supposed to be doing?

Watch as they talk about Schuler in this exclusive interview.
Demerol – a powerful narcotic, and part of the loosely-managed drug regimen leading up to Michael Jackson’s Death.
The question is – did abuse of this drug stoke a cycle of addiction that ended with fatal levels of the surgical anesthetic propofol? And more importantly – were MJ’s doctors to blame for this haphazard use of pharmaceuticals?
According to Dr. Drew, the answer to both questions is a resounding ‘Yes.’
Calling into his own show (guest-hosted by In Session’s Ryan Smith) Drew lays down a passionate, razor-sharp condemnation of the use of Demoral on Michael Jackson for cosmetic procedures. He explains that it sparked a cycle of dependency and suppression of withdrawal symptoms with cross-tolerant drugs, including propofol.
Even more egregious according to Dr. Drew – providing Demoral to an self-described addict – Jackson admitted in 1993 to opiate addiction.
After Dr. Drew’s explanation, a fiery debate ensued with the lawyer for MJ dermatologist Arnie Klein. Attorney Gara Ghazarian argued that Jackson was in fact not addicted to Demoral, as evidenced by the long gaps in his use of the drug.
Dr. Drew responds that during those days of abstinence, Jackson was suppressing withdrawal using other drugs, hence the snowballing of pharmaceutical substance abuse, culminating in the death of the pop legend.
A little girl vanishes from her home in suburban Phoenix while her mom reportedly steps away to run an errand.
Nearly two weeks have gone by and no one has seen 5-year-old Jhessye Shockley.
Some people have been pointing fingers at Jhessye’s mom, Jeurice Hunter, who has spent time in jail after pleading no contest in California to abusing her other children, according to the New York Times. Jeurice has not been named a suspect in anything related to Jhessye's case.
On Thursday night, Jhessye’s grandmother Shirley Johnson, and aunt Josie Hunter, spoke out on Dr. Drew’s HLN show.
Josie was asked if she thought Jeurice was involved in some way or may have even abused Jhessye.
“If the police find evidence of whoever did it, including Jeurice ... [they] should be held accountable,” Josie said. “I cannot say I know for sure that Jeurice did this or anything like that. I want them to look at everyone. I don't know what happened. I was not here. That's why we're looking to detectives and investigators to find this out …and if they feel that she has done something, then get the evidence and bring it out front and do what you have to do ... She [Jeurice] has a past, and I don't agree with it.”
Jhessye’s cousin recently made this comment to local TV station KNXV.
“At our get-togethers, Jhessye was not herself,”’ Lisa Vance said. “I’ve seen marks on Jhessye that led me to believe she was being abused in Jeurice’s home. “
Shirley Johnson was skeptical of the remarks.
“Well, if she's being the loving cousin that she says she is ... why didn't she call somebody for help for Jahessye?” Johnson asked. “If she loved Jahessye so much, why did she let Jahessye stay in that situation and not make me aware [or] the authorities aware at all? So I take that with a grain of salt.”
Johnson went on to voice her other concerns.
“The Glendale Police Department needs to have a magnifying glass over how they handled this whole case,” she said. “We need to look at how the nation looks at little African-American children coming up missing ... who gets the most attention?“
It has also been noted that Jahessye's father George Shockley is a convicted sex offender currently serving time in a California prison, according to KPHO.
A $16,000 reward has been posted for information leading to the return of Jhessye.
She is about 3 feet 5 inches tall and around 55 pounds.
Anyone with information is urged to call 623-930-HELP.

A missing teen found in Mexico has been reunited with her mother in the United States
Alisa Wheeler, 15, went missing four months ago after getting into meth.
Last week she sent a message to her mom on Facebook from Mexico saying: "Mom, I'm alive. I'm with an older man and I'm pregnant."
She landed safely in the U.S. Wednesday.
Watch our follow-up story and exclusive reunion video above.
Baby Lisa's half-brothers, who were at the family's home the night Lisa disappeared, will be interviewed by a child services specialist Friday.
The boys, 8 and 6, were previously interviewed just after Lisa disappeared, both for under an hour.
In an NBC interview, Baby Lisa’s mother, Deborah Bradley, said the boys heard noises the night Lisa disappeared. Bradley didn’t want to talk to her sons about the incident because she was reluctant to put them through "anything else."
In the same interview, Bradley also said she was drunk the night Lisa disappeared and that she had last seen the baby about four hours earlier than initially reported.
On Wednesday night, Dr. Drew invited HLN host and former prosecutor Nancy Grace to his HLN show to discuss the oddities that have been reported, so far, in this case.
“Number one, you've got two boys living in the home the night baby Lisa goes missing,” Nancy said. “The 8-year-old belongs to the male live-in. The 5-year-old is mommy's bio-baby.”
“And by the way, to a man to whom she's still married,” Dr. Drew interjected.
“They say they don't have enough money for a divorce ... FYI, you can do it online pretty much these days,” Nancy jokingly replied. “But long story short, when cops first found out baby Lisa's missing, they interview one child for 30 minutes, the other child for 50 minutes. That's not enough. And since that time, until the present, mommy and daddy have stonewalled the cops from talking to the children. They say they don't want the children traumatized. Mommy also says she said nothing to the children about baby Lisa missing ... I don't believe that.”
Dr. Drew told Nancy how peculiar those notions sounded.
“The first thing the kids would be doing [is saying]: ‘Where's Lisa?’" he said. “You would be dealing with that every day ... again, that's more of the mom’s bizarre behavior."
Nancy then mentioned how she didn’t like the fact that the parents weren’t talking to police separately.
“In order for mommy to talk to cops, she's got to have daddy there ... Why?" Nancy asked. "They are not suspects, but this is not helping move the investigation off them."
“Whether she's a suspect or not, these are adults in charge of the care of children who don't remember what they did the night they were supervising these kids ... that whole business of [possibly] drinking to the point of blacking out is very disturbing,” Dr. Drew added.
The two went on to speak about the alleged ex-friend of Deborah Bradley who says Bradley has a good heart, but is a “very good con artist.”
“For one thing, I wouldn't put anybody, especially in-laws, up on the stand because it's just like two wet cats in a barrel,” Nancy said. “You're going to get all these distant relatives and the sister, ‘oh, she didn't – she re-gifted me at Christmas – I hate her – she's manipulative.’ I don't care about that. All I care about is the evidence."
Drew then asked Nancy what is needed to move the investigation forward.
“Number one, I need mommy to man up and talk to cops without daddy holding her hand,” Nancy said. "I've also got a problem with mommy saying i was blacked out drunk and mommy saying i flunked a polygraph on the question" 'Do you know where baby Lisa is?' That's a problem to me.”
Nancy did mention that she cannot ignore that people in the neighborhood saw a man walking with a baby that night ... and that a cadaver dog “hit” on an area of the carpet in Deborah’s bedroom.
Between 30 and 50 investigators are now involved in the search.
A family attorney says the couple has provided a wealth of information to police and that they want people to continue looking for the child.
Nancy Grace will be a guest on Dr. Drew tonight.
Nancy will be talking about Chaz Bono’s emotional ballroom exit from "Dancing With the Stars." Chaz wanted to show America a different kind of man.
Then, Drew and Nancy will discuss the most intriguing news stories of the week. What happened to caby Lisa? Will detectives get the answers they need? And will the defense get the outcome they want in the Conrad Murray trial??
Plus, singer Amy Winehouse's death this summer was the result of alcohol poisoning, an inquest ruled Wednesday, as it reached a verdict of "death by misadventure." Hear what Dr. Drew has to say about this new report.
It all happens at 9 p.m. ET on HLN.
When is it okay to spank your child? Is corporal punishment the way to go?
On Dr. Drew Tuesday night, we took a look at two couples who took it to the extreme – resulting in the deaths of two little girls who didn't stand a chance. They were abused and tortured by parents who claimed to be disciplining their kids.
CNN correspondent and guest Gary Tuchman went to Paradise, California to find out what happened to 7-year-old Lydia Schatz. She was beaten numerous times with a quarter inch plastic tubing and ultimately died from her injuries.
The thing both couples had in common: the book: To Train Up A Child. It advocates "whipping" and "switching" children and declares that "any spanking to effectively reinforce instruction must cause pain."
Watch as the author of the book, Michael Pearl, explains his position.
