This entire article was copied word for word from the abstract of this paper. This needs to be fixed. I would like to see the article survive but I don't have access to the PubMed database that would help me write it (using an abstract is really a bad idea in itself). -- Soap Talk/Contributions 03:07, 2 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

As content from the Journal of Intensive Care medicine is copyrighted and permitted for personal, non-commercial use (and there was no non-copyvio version in the history to revert to), I had no choice but to delete the article. I've gone ahead and created a basic stub using the same abstract as a source. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 17:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I believe that this drug may contributed to Jackson death but what else a doctor can do if some is asking for medication. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.43.239.143 (talk) 14:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

These two points (even ten years after they were posted) deserve different comments:
First, about:"I believe that this drug may contributed to Jackson death", any wikipedia editor's belief that anything is true is WP:OR and cannot be used in one of our articles and shouldn't be in the Talk page. Even if a good published secondary source confirms the statement, we'd need to talk about whether the fact ought to be here or in our article Michael Jackson.
Second, about:"but what else a doctor can do if some is asking for medication", WP:NOMEDICAL says:

"Nothing on Wikipedia.org or included as part of any project of Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., should be construed as an attempt to offer or render a medical opinion or otherwise engage in the practice of medicine."

That's the sort of question that belongs in the the Wikipedia Science Reference Desk, not in this article's Talk page. loupgarous (talk) 07:12, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
