^ the same way we can say Something happened in 2005 happened because of 1993... ie.Evan Chandler!
If the burn never happened he would not had needed scalp reconstructing... Which is what Mike said caused his first treatment for painkillers that we know about.
For how much torment Mike went through, we have to expect there is a lot more than what we've publically heard... In May of 2009 if someone were to say MJ was getting drugged to sleep by a doctor at home every night fan would have called that person a hater, tabloid money grabbing piece of s****, "Anything for money" etc.
Michael went through a lot more pain we could imagine, for us to sit here and be like "a publicist said in 1984.." and use that as a gospel of truth is being very 1 sided... FAN sided! we don't know.. MJ's PR worked overtime for years..
the broken ankle, bruised/broken ribs, lupus, arthritis, various other injuries through the years, mental torment... Did we expect him to not taken anything over the years?
