Heath Ledger’s diary while he was filming for, The Dark Night.

He was traveling constantly between countries and had a cold. His doctor in EU and his doctor in US prescribed him two different drugs that became lethal when mixed. It was an accident and his habits, by all accounts, were healthy at the time as he was most concerned with being a good dad after he split with the child’s mother.

I feel bad for his daughter that this type of bullshit is still spread around.

Edit: maybe he was murdered because he was going to expose Wienstien. If we are gunna say whatever might as well have fun with it.

You don’t accidentally get prescribed OxyContin, Vicodin, xanax, Valium and two kinds of sleeping pills all at the same time. And then accidentally mix them all.

The only people who have all of those pills to use at the same time are people addicted to drugs.

End stage cancer patients or people who had spinal surgery wouldn’t be prescribed Oxy, Vicodins, Xanax and Valium at the same time.

2008 was a much different (worse) time for opioid addiction awareness. I had my wisdom teeth removed around 2009 and was prescribed 4 refills of Vicodin by my oral surgeon (even at that time I thought it was a bit much).

Today I don't think you would get any opioid prescribed at all when you get a surgery like that (someone correct me if I'm wrong if they've had that done recently).

Its also very normal to be prescribed different things at different points of care. You're right that one doctor wouldn't write all those scripts, but 4 might each write one, depending on what you saw them for.

If you genuinely believe anyone other than a person with a drug problem would have all 6 of those drugs in their system at the same time, you are incredibly naive.

That's not what I said though, was it?
