I do not believe this. -- nm - Spawn Apr 21, 18:00 2
- 2 weeks for the drug/tox tests to come back -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 21, 18:05
- I never lie. See? They really are reporting it! -- (link) - CrankYanker Apr 21, 18:04
Wasn't he in the ED for just a few hours. You don't really treat an opioid overdose in a few hours and discharge. - James Bond (on phone) Apr 21, 17:24 11
- codeine? -- nm - Max Apr 21, 18:16 1
  - ? Some opioid last longer than hours. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 21, 18:24
- hospitals are not jails. if you want to walk out, 99% of ther time you can. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 21, 17:45 3
  - Sure, but he wasn't discharged then, he left against medical advice (AMA) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 21, 17:48 1
    - Common among celebs and druggies. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 17:51
  - based on what I know. do you, as a doctor know different?? -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 21, 17:46
- The report says the doctor said he'd have to stay 24 hours. He refused. - David's iPad Apr 21, 17:41 3
  - a sketchy tmz guy? who'd a thunk it....nm - x Apr 21, 17:46 2
    - What a ghoul he was. - Dark Callisto Apr 21, 17:46 1
      - +1. A solid choice. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 17:50
- I doubt anyone knows for sure. And he probably would check himself out of the ER and get a private doctor at the house. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 17:26
Prince did drugs? Whaaaaat? heh -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 17:08 16
- To the contrary, I'm surprised by this. -- nm - ML Galaxy Apr 21, 17:14 15
  - it's so out of character for a jazz/r&b musician -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 17:15 14
    - It would be for Prince. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 21, 17:30 13
      - yes, that's the thing. -- nm - b. Apr 21, 17:31 12
        
        Vanity had her addiction issues. he was so private and closed off from the world, nobody would really have any idea -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 17:35 11
        
        of course, it's all speculation; but his public personal-state comments and such are what would have made it not as likely as for - b. Apr 21, 17:38 10
        
        Yes. -- nm - pmb Apr 21, 18:34
        
        I too am very much leaning towards prescription drug issues. - ML Apr 21, 17:51 5
        
        I just read that he had needed a double hip replacement for years, but because he was a Jehovahs Witness, would only do a bloodless surgery. - kelly Apr 21, 18:16
        
        He had one child, and it died at seven days old. -- nm - David's iPad Apr 21, 17:58 1
        
        that was awful, of course; but he also had physical pain issues - he reportedly needed double hip replacement for years, - b. Apr 21, 18:15
        
        His size and privacy left me thinking maybe he had some sort of chronic problem. - nic to be determined Apr 21, 17:57
        
        I agree. but he did take a sh*tload of drugs in the 80's which would have weakened his body and caused prescription meds to have an adverse affect. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 17:54
        
        i don't think you give the narcan shot for pills - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 17:40 2
        
        Used for any opioid. The route you take the opioid doesn't change the fact it is an opioid. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 21, 17:47
        
        it's used for opiate pills, too. -- nm - b. Apr 21, 17:45
so it might not have really been the flu? - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 17:06 1
- My first thought was medication to combat the flu, not necessarily illegal drugs. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 17:23
