30 Minute Delay in Calling 911 for Jackson

Dr. Conrad MurrayIt took Michael Jackson's doctor a half-hour to call 911 after finding MJ unconscious -- this according to the doc's lawyer, Edward Chernoff.

Chernoff explained this bizarre revelation by saying Dr. Conrad Murray didn't immediately make the call from his cell phone because he didn't know the exact address of Michael's mansion. For the record, the house is just above Sunset Blvd. in Beverly Hills -- one of the most famous streets in the country.

Chernoff said Murray eventually got someone in the house to make the call.

Murray has already taken heat for performing CPR on Jackson as he was lying on a bed. Chernoff's excuse ... it was a "firm bed."

63. Think, people!

There is a cardiologist on staff, in the house. The ONLY reason that would happen would be if there is already a heart problem.

The family KNEW MJ wasn't up this tour. MJ knew it. The doctor knew it. They expected his heart to go.

It went.

64. This sounds pretty weird to me. Would you want Joe Jackson mad at you? I bet they find out the doctor had something to do with it.

65. This guy is a Doctor? Sounds like he panicked. Anyone knows that a 911 operator can get the phone number from any land line phone. This guy was on Michael's payroll for the money, not to oversee his physical well being. How sad for Michael.

66. Wow what a docter. 30 MINUTES to call 911? And, when you do CPR, the patient, in this case, Michael Jackson, they have to be on a hard surface. The docter did it on the bed. He's up to something. I mean he hired a lawyer RIGHT AFTER he died.

67. #42 Yea he hired a doctor.. But this doctor didnt even know where he was. not only that but applied CPR on a bed? Michael is Michael n yeah he would hire a doc, a nurse , a animal trainer whatever he wanted... he could of done it. its michael were talking about he did take a physical that took 4 hours where everything came out fine. And the DOC said himself that michael was doing good he has no idea why he could of DIED .. i mean come on.. how much longer is the story going to be bouncing around... and still no mentioning of what there going to do with the body. Not only the doc said that but also stated he had not taken demorol or w,e its called too many freakin lies

68. "Billy Mays Here...."
"Now, for a limited time only, YOU can hire Michael Jackson's cardiologist, for only $1,000 per hour." "A bargain, at any price." "Be the first in your neighborhood, to experience the dedication of Michael Jackson's personal cardiologist." "The man who waited 30 minutes, before he called 9-1-1." "Hurry, this is a limited time offer only....!!!"

69. Why do people need to turn the media's nerotic over coverage of the death of a drug addict into some consirasy and locate a villan. Jackson weighed 112 at the time of his death! and we will see when the blood results come back he lived on drugs, but still people will need to find mystery and intrige, blame anyone but the person responsibile. MJ left this earth without a current will, without protecting his children and thier future, still we look for villians else where, follwing the medias tail in circles

70. I think a lot of people are glad that mj is gone. He was a mess, and he had been rotting and self destructing for years. Besides, any child molesting person deserves to be taken off this earth anyway. All these people who worship this polluted corpse are seriously ignorant. I feel sorry for his kids too, now they have to live with the source of his polluted mind...his family. Someone please save them from the sick perverted hole they must be in.

71. First of all this doctor is a joke he should be charged with man slaughter for not calling 911 asap 30 min what is this doc thinking???? uh maybe he gave MJ drugs and there was a drug interaction and this doc was thinking he just killed the king of pop. OMG I'm so sickened by this supposed so called doctor. The Jackson's can sue this doc but, it is apparent this doc has no money. And still I do not think there is any dollar amount that you can put on any human life period let alone MJ and the suffering of MJ family and the kids so sad. And please Mr Joe Jackson please stop promoting your record label now this is not a proper time to do so it really does not look good on your behalf. Just a suggestion.?????

74. With MJ's money he could have hired any doctor. One has to wonder how this one got picked. He likely had researchers and advisors, Did skin color play a role?

75. Arrogance. Malfeasance. Stupidity. Negligence. Medical incompetence. Medical malpractice. But for all of the analysis and blaming (or just looking for a coherent explanation for this unthinkable mishap), Michael Jackson is still irreversibly dead, permanently deceased, gone forever.

What do you want to bet that Dr. Murray basked in his position as a star-struck to "Doctor to Michael Jackson?" - Hubris.

What do you want to bet that Conrad Murray has some voodoo medicine-man views to go with his med. school diploma? - Quackery.

What do you want to bet that Murray is Rasputin-like phony, too full of himself to be a physician. - Delusional.

At best, Conrad Murray is a lousy doctor. At worst, he's a throw back to pre-scientific superstition and ignorance. And if true, in this age, that makes him a charlatan, unfit to call himself a healer. It might even make him a criminal, even in the absence of malice.
