That's totally true, from the linked article:
"Craving sleep, Jackson had searched for a doctor who would give him the intravenous anesthetic that Jackson called his "milk" and believed to be his salvation. Other medical professionals turned him down, according to trial testimony.
Murray gave up his practices in Houston and Las Vegas and agreed to travel with Jackson and work as his personal physician indefinitely.
For six weeks, as Jackson undertook strenuous rehearsals, Murray infused him with propofol every night, the doctor told police. He later tried to wean Jackson from the drug because he feared he was becoming addicted."
If not him, sooner or later Michael Jackson would had gotten whatever he wanted from someone else. He's not the only professional in the world being called for money or quitting professional practices in order to do so.
As much as I like Michael Jackson's music, he dug his own grave.
