Michael Jackson Dead

He was doing CPR on him on the BED? I am NOT a cardiologist and even I know you do CPR on a hard firm surface NOT on a bed. it's pointless on a bed or soft area. So... WTF is that about? It's probably nothing but that just stood out to me as being out of place.

Maybe they just had a board lying around the bedroom - just in case

In the hospital, there was a board on the Crash Cart that we could quickly slip under the patient.

perhaps... but the doctor taking off afterwards makes me think perhaps he isn't exactly the professional you picture when you hear "cardiologist"

but I guess he is back now and talking to the police.

According to an article in the NY times, Dr. Murray is not board certified in either of his two specialties - internal medicine and cardiology. While board certification is not required to practice a specialty, it is recommended and indicates a high level of training and expertise.

The 'doc' was assigned to MJ.

AEG, the company that was 'sponsoring' the tour sent the doc to be at MJ's side. Apparently there was something about MJ passing a physical so the tour could be insured.

I thought the part about the doctor being sent from the company was just speculation? To me it makes more sense that he was an enabling doctor that Michael found that would give him whatever he wanted.

MJ passed that physical exam in March - 4 1/2 hours worth.

However, perhaps there was a condition that he have a physician with him. MJ said recently that he was furious about the number of concerts booked - he said he didn't eat much, and now he would have to put on weight.

Like anorexia, when the weight starts to go back up, it can cause heart failure, so the gain has to be very gradual.

Maybe Mike was in too much of a hurry?

I think of Elvis - everyone around him medicating him, Elvis just addicted and going along with it.

Elvis was an addict and had nobody else to blame, even his friends where afraid of him. MJ may have been an addict, but Ill bet he had fewer friends then the King did in the end.
