Hey do you have a link or source from where this came, I'm interested in reading more if there is more.

it was on every news page you come across - the part apart him doing CPR one handed was in the yahoo news account.  (technically, this was very strange - I heard the 9-1-1 tape and it said CPR was being done on a bed, NOT protocol, should have been a hard surface - the yahoo account implies the doctor had his other hand behind JACKSON'S back to support him during compressions - I've NEVER heard of such a thing in my 20 years in the emergency services!)

Oh I see, it's information you compiled together.

 

The 911 tape, which is something we can count on being accurate, Said the doctor was the only one that had witnessed what happened, so it was obviously in his care, I didn't think that sounded good at all. It will be interesting to see what the outcome ends up being.

I didn't "compile", I used the quotes from the text of the yahoo news report (it was AP).

Obviously, from the 9-1-1 tapes, the doctor is NOT the only witness, the person on the phone was witnessing the doctor do the CPR.  The doctor, from what I've read today did not "witness" anything in the sense that nothing happened.  He arrived and observed MJ in bed not breathing, but with a faint pulse.  (this too raises questions of the CPR - if there was a pulse, I question any chest compressions without use of proper equipment such as a fibrillator to determine what the heart is doing). 

The person who made the 9-1-1 call was not identified last time I read any articles.

 

there are some hinky circumstances with this thing, but much of it may be misunderstanding what was going on - maybe the doc was NOT giving CPR compressions on the bed (which would be totally wrong and even the dispatcher said "get him on the floor").  Maybe his 'thumping' was actually trying to get the lungs going, but that is a stretch.  If MJ was scrawny as they say, and undergoing rigorous dance rehearsals, and his doctor was being paid beaucoup bucks for 24/7 live-in service, I'd question the lack of O2 or a portable difibrillator.  But again, maybe those things were being fetched at the time, obviously if the doctor found MJ, the doctor then somehow summoned whoever called 9-1-1 from somewhere in the house - maybe step 2 was "go get my medical bag".  And the answers, I am sure, are known by the cops who talked with Murray for 3 hours.

 

I'm sorry, I guess I used the word wrong, I didn't mean anything negative by it. I am definately with you, I have had my eye on the doctor all along, but I don't usually take reports from the news. I wait for them to come from people such as the coroner.

 

 

He also claims that he didn't give Jackson his last dose of pain killers.  And that he didn't arrive until after Jackson was already unconscious.

Yikes!

I thought it odd that in addition to the cpr on the bed was the fact that a doctor would do one hand in front and one hand in back for cpr.  I mean, one would think any of us in the medical profession would surely have come across that in our training or experience as little old ladies (and men) far outnumber odd pop icons!  I've seriously never heard of that.

Hey Lynn!  I'm GUESSING, that the doctor may have been attempting to massage Michael's lungs/diaphragm since he says MJ had a faint pulse.  The caller refers to chest "thumping" which obviously is not a CPR compression technique, LOL!  Maybe he was kind of trying a horizontal heimlich?  Brace him in the back, and squeeze the lungs from the front - they haven't even expounded yet on what CPR meant to the caller, maybe he saw the doctor trying to breath air in for MJ and then forcefully expell it by the thump on the diaphragm to try and jump start the breathing?

Whatever, its all drugs - something depressed MJs system to the point that the lungs stopped normal function and his heart rate was so low they couldn't get it back up again.  Of course, having just had trouble breathing myself, I shouldn't say its all drugs - it could have been an illness that had been undetected.  We'll know soon enough (but not soon enough for most lookie-lou's in the press and public).

that's true!  I never really thought of the whole "chest thumping" concept.  But I guess too that when they keep saying CPR you don't exactly have that come to the forefront of your mind.  Personally, I think it's sad that his talent will be gone, but he lost me a long time ago (after Thriller).  I don't judge, I can't/won't say I believe that he did or didn't do things he was accused of, but he certainly was eccentric.  Somehow though, seeing his whole family, it more or less makes sense how he got that way.  Now it's just a matter of tolerating all the vultures as they divide up his bones...sad to say, but true.
