Matthew Perry FULL Autopsy Report - Doctor Mike Unravels Ketamine's Role

🩺 Ask Doctor Hansen HERE:
app.doctormike...
“Friends” star Matthew Perry died as a result of “acute effects of ketamine” and subsequent drowning, an autopsy report shows.
The report, released Friday by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office, shows Perry’s blood tested positive for ketamine, which is known to treat depression and anxiety.
“At the high levels of ketamine found in his postmortem blood specimens, the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression,” the report states. The death was ruled an accident, according to the report.
Perry was found floating face down in the pool of his Pacific Palisades home on October 28. Authorities said at the time that no foul play was involved.

In my 21 years of critical care nursing, I have NEVER heard of an anesthesiologist functioning as an internist. Matthew Perry wasn’t at home intubated, ventilated, and monitored.Sounds super sus. And in Michael Jackson’s case, never trust a cardiologist with Propofol. These boutique, celebrity docs need to stay in their lanes.

[@michele21auntiem]

It is sad but also he got his wish. He wanted to be remembered for helping other folks in addiction. Ketamine has been known to trigger relapse and perhaps should not be used in those with substance abuse. It is tragic to all of us struggling but the work continues.

Ketamine is not FDA approved for depression. Esketamine is.

At his book discussions (Toronto) he said he wrote the book and was talking about his addiction to help others. The best thing he would want, I think for all those who mourn him now, would be for those who followed his career and enjoyed his entertaining………to help addicts to stop. Addiction as he said is cumulative and unless people get help and stop, they will eventually die from the disease- prematurely or from complications. He knew this. He did not want to die, but made some mistakes because he did not stop. Just help others to get help and stop. Save a life.

[@Julia-uh4li]

I've learned over the decades that you can't help an addict stop using, only let them know you are there for them when they are ready for help. Sadly, often, they only need you to help them attain the substance, i.e., give/loan money. It's a difficult thing for anyone whose friend or loved one won't or can't get the help they so desperately need.

[@barbarastephenson6885]

@@Julia-uh4li agree with you!! They have to decide for him or herself to stop. IMO, Matthew Perry’s success with Friends hurt him. The money he had insulated and enabled him to keep using. At some level he did not want sobriety enough to stop. Reading his story- there are many symbols of arrested development in his personality …..he was unwell, internally he destroyed his body, it’s amazing he did not develop any number of cancers from pancreatic to hepatic. On the good side- there are lessons to be learned from him and that is what he wanted for all those taking drugs or alcoholics. That is a blessing. Learn from someone else’s mistakes.

Between the type 2 DM, COPD, & CAD, we can see how hard living when you're a young adult really contributes to irreversible disease processes later on in life. I heard that young adults aren't drinking as much as my generation and that's wonderful. I hope it's true. I hope this generation learns from my generation how abusing alcohol and drugs will lead to an early death or worse, a disabled middle aged person which usually leads to depression, chronic pain, self medicating with drugs and alcohol. It's a viscous cycle. I worked in an Amarillo, Texas hospital during the pandemic and was shocked to see how many men in their late 30 & 40's getting their toes and feet amputated from primarily two 2 diabetes.

I’ve been wondering the same thing since I read the report, but no one has addressed that. How does one drown if there’s no water in the lungs? This detailed explanation makes me think it wasn’t drowning, but rather the respiratory suppression that caused his death. All the meds that depress breathing combined, so when he passed out he stopped breathing. Makes more sense.

[@painless29]

His primary care doctor being an anesthesiologist makes perfect sense, since there's hardly a better specialist to manage opioid addiction. I don't believe at all that he got the medication from his attending physician. It's a known street drug that he could easily get access to since he was very much used to seeking drug dealers. Also, there was no signs of needle punctions on his skin on the autopsy report. No drug paraphernalia found (to turn liquid into powder, for example). He probably bought a gram of powder from a dealer and snorted it all (maybe he thought the initial effect was unsatisfactory since the onset is delayed if given IN instead of IV). Bioavailability of intransal route is approximately 50%, so 500 mg for his size and weight generates the 3.000 ng/ml found on the exam. Makes sense. He probably dissociated very hard and went face down into the water, drowning being probably the primary mechanism of death.

[@bizzyslivovitz7306]

He sent his assistant on an errand. Anyone who is rich and has a drug courier come to his/her house knows what that means. But he says Special K was not the drug for him, in his autobiography. He must have really been desperate to take something for his depression that he thought was okay. What he really needed was a reset -- brain chemistry at factory settings. I am so sorry he didn't get to live to be 80 and tell people he had the greatest life. Chuck Negron's autobiography, "Three Dog Nightmare," is a story like that. I am going to look for some more of these stories because Nikki Sixx's autobiography is also incredible. If you woke up and your house was a Beverly Hills mansion, why would you spend all your time sitting on the hard wooden floor of a walk-in closet on the third floor and keep calling the security service, "There are little men in trees with Uzis pointed at my house."

Anyone know why the chemical associated with Klonopin was in his system? Just curious. Im also confused about why the effects of Buprenorphine AND Ativan weren't mentioned as contributing medications. Both cause respiratory depression. It almost makes it seem like Buprenorphine is something that's more dangerous. When Subutex and Suboxone can be life changing for opiate addiction. Anyone who can answer these questions much appreciated.

[@treesaremadeofwood2145]

Essentially Death caused complications by drugs with deterioration of health. Ketamine therapy can still be extremely dangerous depending on their health, this is a perfect example as to why. Whilst he was off the "old drugs of choice" he was still on drugs, he was just sober by the societal norm, but the medications themselves are all addictive in nature so it was switching one set of addictions to another, that were in this instance, lethal in the manner in which they were taken.

[@grnddesign]

If I heard it correctly, I'm not a native speaker, the yellow fingertip in just one finger, the index, is due to holding the cigarette in heavy smokers. It's usually the index, can't figure out why, since a cig is held with 2 fingers.

[@deeescobedo7528]

Was ketamine from a medical doctor, his anesthesiologist? Or off the street? It IS a controlled substance, right? And on top of that: why have an anesthesiologist as your PCP? Primary Care Physician?

Ativan is something i take but not every day, not every week. I wouldn't doubt he was taking 2 mgs which is the highest level. 1 mg does me fine because the more you take the higher tolerance the body has for it. He's got a good mix of drugs that don't work well together. As an ex heroin addict for thirty years, I am very careful of what I injest especially at the age of 67. It sounds like he was not the healthiest of guys and didn't have the best of medical advisors. People, do your research. It's not difficult!

Same with depression and also ptsd. I am also very interested in the treatments, it really sounds promising from what I've seen. I drink a tea for all my issues. Nothing pharma ever helped me long term.

This is so sad.

You need to remove the Close caption embedded in the video. Annoying as all heck. Couldn't watch or see half the screen.

[@walkerpantera]

agreed, I literally just listened versus looking at the screen. KZbin gives us the CHOICE to use closed captioning in Settings.. I dont understand why content creators feel the need the use it, hes definitely not the only one. and YES ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING and unnecessary.

[@roli3342]

not only annoying but also, in many instances, incorrect transcription of what was being said

[@river8760]

I think that was purposeful so you’d have to watch the whole video instead of just reading the document through, I was trying to read it as well, I agree extremely irritating.

I hope his family sues the doctor who prescribed all that 💩 to Matty 😑

[@malumello17]

It seems in USA if you have enough money you can find doctors who will prescrive anything you want. 😢
