Doctors are considering performing a test where Charlie will swallow a tiny camera that will allow them to locate the ulceration.

A source close to Charlie says that his cocaine use likely contributed to an ulceration. WebMD contains this information about the relationship between cocaine and ulcers:” Gastrointestinal tract. Cocaine constricts blood vessels supplying the gut. The resulting oxygen starvation can cause ulcer, or even perforation of the stomach or intestines. “

This ass only thinks about himself! He brought five children into this world and they will probably lose their father to a drug overdose very soon. But then again, I'm sure he is a pretty crappy father anyway!

Cocaine is illegal EXCEPT for Charlie. He has bought his way out of trouble for over 20 yrs. He needs to be CHARGED and found guilty for his crimes.

Maybe his Dad can talk some sense into him. If not, he'd better say goodbye now.

He needs to be hunted down by anti domestic violence women's groups; but in the mean time I hope he's OK.
