Michael Jackson's Doc -- Closed for Business

The Las Vegas office of Dr. Conrad Murray -- the doc who was with Michael Jackson when he died -- is currently closed.

Dr. Conrad Murray

Murray sent a letter to his patients earlier this month telling them he was taking a leave of absence because of "a once in a lifetime opportunity."

16. According to the ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialities) Dr. Murray is NOT Board Certified in cardiology -- or ANYTHING. He just hangs out a shingle and calls himseklf anything. Someone should look into his so-called creditentials.

18. Since the good doctor lost his only patient a couple of days ago, I think he'll be back at his Las Vegas office come Monday morning. Time for a cardiology checkup!

19. Numero Uno: MJ was tried and found not guilty! And if he would have sued all of you who continue to slander him he could have been out of debt. If you have a problem with our judicial system be a politician instead of a hater. Sounds like you are mad you never had rythm and cant MOONWALK! N E Way Superchunk, wasnt that ur screen name on NBC's to catch a predator?

20. And another point, this DR who closed his office for a once in a lifetime oppurtunity, lets see how many oppurtunities you have to practice while you are in prison.....You are a low life that took advantage of a person who trusted people waaaaay too much all for a dolla. You're going straight to hell in a gasoline boat.....I can only hope so!!!!!

21. Of all the types of Dr's he could have hired I wonder why he chose a cardiologist (or a supposed cardiologist). Seems strange to hire him and have him administer demerol shots. That wouldn't even really be a cardio Dr's field of expertise would it? I worked at a hospital and the Dr's usually stuck to their field and called in other Dr's to consult if it involved another area.

22. No doubt about it, Dr Conrad Murray is now the most well known graduate in the history of his medical school, Meharry Medical College. I've yet to hear or read any reports as to why Michael Jackson was receiving injectable narcotics. Oral medications, such as Morphine sulfate, are obviously readily available and far safer to use. Skin patches such as Fentanyl (60x the effect of an equal dose of morphine) are also available. Was Jackson so tolerant or resistant to the effects of oral or transdermal pain meds that he needed narcotic injections? Maybe he was using two or more such meds - which is a recipe for causing respiratory arrest, prior to onset of cardiac arrest. As a physician, I generally reserve narcotic injections for patients who have a terminal disease such as cancer who are dealing with severe pain. In non-cancer patients with chronic debilitating pain, other types of drugs, such as some meds that were originally designed for treating seizures or depression often work much more effectively for pain control compared to narcotics. The causes of pain in chronic pain syndromes are usually quite different compared to the causes of pain due to injury or inflammation. In situations where a pain medication such as Demerol is used, it's a simple matter to reverse the effects with another injectable drug, Narcan, unless the patient has specifically requested not to be resuscitated in the event of an overdose, So if Jackson's private doctor did not keep Narcan on hand, he better get a lawyer (apparently it took him less than 24 hours to do so) and maybe a whole office of them. Was this guy even licensed to practice medicine in California?

23. 'the once in a life time opprtunity ' doctor has a lot to answer for. With all the drugs that are going on in Hollywood the 'honourable doc' should be smiling his way to the bank like the plastic surgeons. The fact that he was in debt means he was not executing his professional duties properly- hence the need to be on someone else's payroll and not his own. This smirks of HOMiCIDE,HOMICIDE to me.

25. This is insulting, this doctor did not put a gun to his head and force him to overdose. Why are people making such a big deal out of this. Michael Jackson has been physically and mentally ill for years and NO ONE cared until his death and oh how tragic, let's blame the doctor. Lord for bid it be Michael Jackson's fault. They did not go after the doctor when Heath Ledger died, oh that's because he's white how stupid of me to not realize that it is a racial issue and Michael Jackson's ignorant, ghetto, wannabe African American family wants to PROFIT FROM HIS DEATH!!!!

26. What boggles my mind is that Dr Murray claims there was no telelphone in Michael Jackson's room....I find it hard to believe the dear doctor did not have a cell phone in his pocket. A Medical Doctor without a cell phone????? Pretty strange
