re: My theory regarding Prince's death.

quote:

I thought he had AIDS?

he did. this thread is just full of children. He may have died from too many pain meds, but that would be like saying a 100 yr old person died of a heart attack. Prince weighed about 80lbs or less bc of aids and not willing to take related medicine, which is odd since he was taking pain medication.

Please. Dilaudid taken orally has the ROA of a lifesaver.

It is well known that Prince was devoutly religious and not the type to die from a drug overdose.

Yes since "religious" people would never stoop to such levels of treachery, huh?

Or you know you take them when you have an upper respiratory infection or the like and the pain meds suppress your breathing even further and you die...sometimes. You know that extra dose hospice nurses give terminal patients to ease them on their way.

I think just an accidental overdose. The doctor missed something, he pushed too hard, maybe upped his dosage. He just never seemed the type to go out like this. But you also have to remember that he was 56. He might have looked like a teenager but he was a middle aged man and 56 year old men die cutting the grass or taking a shite everyday and they don't have aids or drug problems.

I mean, most women wear heels everyday to work and to go out at night to dance in heels too, so I have a hard time believing high heels are the culprit in his rumored "bad hips".

Most of these women probably do not have osteoarthritis which is what destroys the protective cartilage in the joint. The disease can manifest itself at a early age and physical activity such as prince engaged can certainly accelerated the deterioration. I know of people that were basically sedentary and required hip replacements in their 40s.

Kinda.

Knee replacements are being done like day surgery these days with the procedure being done in the morning and home that afternoon for otherwise healthy people with no co-morbidities.

A hip replacement isn't shite these days even for an old person.

Also, good job by the admins not pulling this thread hours ago as requested.

This guy had to know that a bloodless aortic surgery was a bad idea. I'm sure his father did too, but they stuck to their religious beliefs instead.

I've actually heard of some of those types of folks being ok if a Cell Saver is used (there's a suction device that puts the patient's blood into a bag and gives it back to them).

I've also heard that even that is unacceptable to some, something to the effect of "blood should not sit still" and be reintroduced to the body. I've never really looked into what exactly the belief is, where it comes from, or what it's based on, but I thought it was an interesting case to mention to your point. My assumption is that he was anti-cell saver.

Fentanyl is the only painkiller that I know of that comes in a patch, and again, if you take it as prescribed it's not going to kill you.
