Michael Jackson's Doc Quit Medical Practice

Posted Jun 26th 2009 8:28PM by TMZ Staff

We just got a letter that Michael Jackson's doctor sent to his patients 11 days ago, announcing that he will be indefinitely leaving his medical practice.



Dr. Conrad Murray sent the note on his letterhead from his medical practice in Las Vegas. He says, "I am deeply saddened to leave you at this point, but please know my absence is not permanent." He continues, "In my absence, I will continue to manage the practice, and be involved as much as possible but from a distance."

The letter says "My absence is not permanent."

We're told AEG -- the company that was putting on the London concerts -- put Dr. Murray on the payroll.

49. Well I think it is suspicious that a doctor would perform cpr on a person lying on a bed, unless he had a ackboard available, which seems unlikely. Also, it was released that lidocaine was on the scene which is also suspicious. Wonder why Mike was under the care of a cardiologist and not a general practitioner. Maybe something was preexisting and he was being under his care for that reason. But, if he had cardiac issues he would be highly uninsurable so how in the world would he be ok'ed to be insured for the tour? A lot of unanswered questions that may be answered in the weeks to come.

50. Those that are acting like whiney biznatches, go over to perez or something. You'll be in good company.

That doctor was an idiot. You NEVER EVER do CPR on something soft unless he would have had a backboard underneath him, but seeing as he had No narcam, no defribulator, the chance he had a backboard is slim. The first dang thing he should have done is Lay Michael on the floor. I hope the doc gets it for manslaughter.

52. The letter says "My absence is not permanent."

It is now. He is going to jail. Of course if he retains chris browns lawyer, he will just end up picking up trash & washing city vehicles for a few months.
