Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse said that Jackson was complaining of insomnia and pleaded for her to get him some Diprivan (propofol), which is usually used to start or maintain anesthesia during surgeries. She operates a Los Angeles-based nutritional counseling business. After Lee’s statement on Tuesday, more questions arose on Michael’s medications.

Lee said that when Michael asked her to get him some Diprivan, she replied,

?the medication is not safe.?

Then he said,

“I just want to get some sleep. You don’t understand. I just want to be able to be knocked out and go to sleep.”

She also said that, four days before Michael’s death, she received a call from Jackson’s staffer. He complained her that one side of Michael’s body is hot and the other side is cold. After that she told the staffer,

?You need to go to hospital,?

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, when Diprivan drug is injected, it can induce hypnosis within 40 seconds from the start of injection.
It is written on the label of the Diprivan drug that, it should only be administered by people ?trained in the administration of general anesthesia.? The product label warned that the sedated patients should be monitored properly and the availability of artificial ventilation equipment should be confirmed before utilizing the drug.

The product label of the propofol also warns that its use for sedating adult and pediatric intensive care unit patients has been linked with organ system failures that caused death.
