Jackson Doctor's CPR Technique Explained

31. Well, there you have it. A Dr. who, regardless of whether he panicked or not, has now gotten himself a defense attorney, who will now get his 15 minutes of fame. A Criminal Lawyer for a man the LAPD is NOT calling a suspect (do we really think the LAPD is not jumping for joy over MJ's death?)? Hmm.....Guess that's what happens when you allow someone to hire you out to be their drug pimp. DId he actually say that he had one hand under MJ's back and one doing compressions? He performed CPR with ONE hand? Really? While I don't blame the Dr. for MJ's death (he didn't turn MJ into a man who was addicted to pain killers, MJ did that all by himself. Enablers, enable, they don't force feed the drugs into you,), I do blame him for being completely incompetent.

#9, Where are the reports that confirm that this so called Dr. (not board certified), rode in the ambulance with MJ to the hospital? Wouldn't you think that questions would have been asked right then and there? My understanding is that he disappeared for a couple of days while he sought out an attorney. But, if you have proof that this Quack of a Dr actually rode in the ambulance, to the hospital, (and then would have seen the family members yes?), then please, prove me wrong. Thanks ...

33. This so called 'Doctor' is full of crap. He's trying too hard to cover his inadequacy. I believe he's responsible for MJ's death.

34. Unless the bed was made out of wood it doesn't matter how firm it is! I have been a nurse for almost twenty years, taught CPR and unless someone sleeps on a sheet of 1/4 inch plywood without a mattress - it doesn't matter how firm the mattress. This is just another clue into the lack of knowledge this guy has. I also read somewhere that this "doctor" has only been a certified Cardiologist for about 4 yrs. This is a perfect example of why people need to realize that just because someone is a doctor doesn't mean they are beyond question. The AMA needs to seriously look into the ethical practice of the Hollywood Doctors who are leaching onto stars and enabling them and taking advantage of them.

35. This is all a bunch of garbage. That attorney had a few days to come up all these excuses. That Dr. should have called 911 immediately sorry!!! he is to blame for his death. Why did he wait so long to have the security guard call 911? He said the phones did not work? RIGHt, where are all the cell phones people have? No one in that mansion had a phone to call 911? What a quacko dr.

38. Poor Micheal jacksin was a sick, tired person. he needed a long break to get his health back that he obviously never got. It saddneds me so tha the news said he was a skelton, and in such bad medical condition. he should have forgotten about fans. career, people should have left him alone. This man was pushed to no end to perform. His father pushed him since he was small to perform. I rem,ember friends of the Jackon family used to say Joe Jackson beat the kids for nothing. I am sorry because Joe has lost his son. However, Jackson was pushed to his limits, and he finally died.

39. You don't give CPR to someone with a pulse. What a bunch of quacks. They knew Michael couldn't pull off those shows in London so they murdered him for the insurance money. The promotors (who will get all the insurance dough) are the ones who hired this doc. Think about it!

40. This is not making much sense. I hope the truth comes out.

41. The video said that the dr. was doing cpr for 25 minutes - I want to know how long it took for them to call 911. In the 911 call which wasn't very long - the operator had the ambulance about a mile away...........took about 3 minutes or so for the ambulance to get to MJ's place - how long did that dr. fiddle around before they called 911???????????????????

42. Does anybody really think after reading the Sun's column about MJ that he wasn't a death waiting to happen? If this Doc was the one giving him the drugs, then he should be hung out to dry. Anybody with an eye could see that MJ was a loon and killing himself with his surgeries and diet. So where the hell were they?
And the family wanting a second autopsy? What the hell for? Joe Jackson is an idiot. Celebrity does not mean that you have brains or common sense. The whole goofy Jackson family proved that.
Enough MJ already.
What about Sky Saxon? Doesn't he deserve some mention?

43. 1- Everyone is correct- NO bed is firm enough- the mechanics of CPR require the heart to be compressed between TWO hands 1.5 to 2 inches in depth and a STABILIZED spine by placing the patient on the FLOOR or on a CPR board (CPR board being the only rationale for maintaining the patient on the bed with this under him). 2- IN NO WAY could adequate compressions be done with one hand behind the patients back AND still be able to determine "adequate circulation" was occuring.. someone would have had to have been checking a pulse DURING compressions to say there was adequate CPR3- Step 1 of CPR training in adults is immediately upon ESTABLISHING UNRESPONSIVENESS you call 911, not 25 to 30 minutes later!!!!

Yes, if there is a question of a pulse or an adequate pulse, current CPR standards from AHA do allow for CPR to take place- so he was right on this. Could the ribs have broken no matter whether he was doing proper technique or not, yes.

44. A "FIRM BED"?! Are you kidding me?! This doctor is the living definition of a DUMBASS! I am a Nursing Assistant trained for CPR and I can guarentee you that NO medical doctor or CPR-instructor will ever tell their subordinates or their trainees that CPR can be administered on a firm bed. Unless Michael Jackson was sleeping on a bed made of concrete, CPR should not and could not have been properly performed on him. I am not buying this bull and I pray that the Jackson family and anybody watching this story doesn't do so either. This doctor needs to be ARRESTED for this just as any other medical professional would be had they done this.
