[Lemon:] The trial of Dr. Conrad Murray gets underway on Monday. Murray's been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. Jackson died of an overdose of the anesthesia Propofol and other drugs. To find out what affects these drugs had, I spoke to a doctor who saw Jackson's autopsy report. His name is Dr. Zeev Cain. He is the head of the Anesthesiology Department at the University of California, Irvine. You saw the toxicology report?
[Dr. Zeev Cain, Director, Anesthesiology Department, University Of California, Irvine:] I saw the toxicology repot. I saw the autopsy report.
[Lemon:] You did?
[Cain:] I did.
[Lemon:] What was in Michael Jackson's system?
[Cain:] Several drugs, Midazolam, Diazepam, Lorazepam, Lidocaine, Epinephrine and Propofol.
[Lemon:] That's a lot.
[Cain:] That's a lot of drugs. That's a lot of drugs.
[Lemon:] Enough to kill someone?
[Cain:] Certainly enough to make sure that he stopped breathing, yes.
[Lemon:] Yes. What did the autopsy report show?
[Cain:] Well, overall, Michael Jackson was actually in good health. There was no real problems in his internal organs. It did show, at some point in the past, he did use drugs but, again, overall, he was in excellent health.
[Lemon:] What kind of drugs?
[Cain:] You can't really say that. The only thing we can do is go based on what we found in his blood.
[Lemon:] OK. It didn't show one drug which the defense is saying he was addicted to. What I'm talking about,
[Cain:] Absolutely true. There was no Demerol found there, which means he did not really take Demerol for 40 days before this.
[Lemon:] How many days would it have been in order for it to leave?
[Cain:] Several days. Demerol actually has a pretty long half life. So it stays in the system quite a while.
[Lemon:] Yes. Were you surprised by anything in the report?
[Cain:] I would say I was surprised by what in good shape he was. Based on what I've heard previously, I expected to see more signs of chronic illness in his organs, more signs of an addict. They are not really there. He was basically healthy.
[Lemon:] Yes. Yes. And to have those drugs, you said Lorazepam
[Cain:] Diazepam, Midazolam.
[Lemon:] All those drugs in there together does someone usually take all of those drugs together?
[Cain:] You take them if you want to induce sedation or medically induced coma. Which brings me to the issue of Propofol should not be used in home settings.
[Lemon:] Yes.
[Cain:] It should be used when you want to medially induce coma or sedation in a hospital. You have to monitor somebody's blood pressure, heart rate, how well they are breathing. You have to monitor their oxygen level. That's the bottom line.
[Lemon:] So, listen, people are this is going to be the issue now with medicine. How much can you get from doctors, depending on how much you pay? Your celebrity status? What you do for a living? All of that, is that at issue here?
[Cain:] Absolutely, it is. Remember, they found four gallons. Four gallons are enough to put to sleep about 500 people. Or it is enough to keep somebody asleep for eight hours for almost two months. Now, that may be a bit misleading, because he may have built resistance in his body already. We have to remember, when somebody does take Propofol on a regular basis, they will build up resistance. So I know some reports say it is a two-months supply. It depends how much resistance was in his body. It may only be a one week supply. We don't know.
[Lemon:] Is there something we should be concerned about? I heard during the testimony that it is usually a doctorpatient relationshipemployer relationship. Is that a concern to society overall in this case and in society, this culture where you see drugs on television and what have you?
[Cain:] To my opinion, there is a fundamental difference in the Western society versus other societies in the relations between doctorpatient. I think we need to go back to the basics and say doctors are here to take care of patients. It's not a question of you paying me for something. We are not the same as lawyers, to my opinion. We are doctors. Our first sworn duty is to take care of you. Money is secondary. We really need to take care your well being, regardless of how much you will pay for me.
[Lemon:] Thank you, doctor.
[Cain:] You're welcome.
[Lemon:] Dr. Zeev Cain. My thanks to him at the University of California, Irvine. Stay with CNN. There's more ahead next hour on Dr. Murray's trial. Legal analyst, Holly Hughes, will join me to explain what we can expect when testimony resumes on Monday. Coming up, the return of skulls to the place they belong gives a morbid history lesson. The first time in the 20th century one nation tried to erase the existence of a people.
