Jackson Doctor's CPR Technique Explained

61. That's not really a good enough explanation

62. Michael Jackson needed emergency defibrillation. For every one minute that defibrillation is delayed, it decreases the victim's chance of recovery by 10%. So if all he had was 25 minutes of CPR, he had no chance. The protocol is to call 911 first, then provide CPR (with 2 hands, on the floor or on a bed board if in the hospital.)

63. Why wasn't an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) available. An AED is inexpensive and practically idiot proof. CPR can't restart the heart; and AED can.

66. what bull!why didn't they save that whimpy excuse for the courts? why tv so soon? the doc probably is not being very honest ... he found himself between a rock and a hard place and had no clue what to do .... he may have meant well, but as a hired doctor, he should have called 911 and done nothing he was not sure of ... he mishandled MJ, and it cost the poor guy his life. period. besides murray, all the other doctors before him should be summoned to court, too. they have lots of talking to do.

67. If the bed was "firm" enough to perform CPR on Jackson, why did the Dr feel the need to put his hand underneath MJ and then why did he feel the need to put him on the floor for further CPR, afterall administering CPR on the bed was apparently fine.

68. What ever I have heard via the quack or his hired hand, is NOTto be believed, not at all. Why were the police looking for the quack for 24 hours if he was with the body in transit and at the hospital as he states? He's hallucinating. Perhaps he shot himself (Dr. Quack) up with Demerol too.

Unfortunately, MJ surrounded himself with 'me too's', Murray included and now he will pay the price.

By the way, the Jackson Father is also way off the mark ... some of the first words out of his mouth were, "my Superstar Son"
it took a family attorney to have his act cleaned up. Even with his superstar son dead, the father has only $$$$$$ in mind and heart.

Mr. Jackson should never been allowed to have children .. he's a piece of crap!

69. The death certificate is not issued till many days after the death. To say the doctor "refused" to sign the death certificate is just ridiculous.!! People want to blame the doctor and not face the reality that Michael had been addicted to drugs for years. Where were the people around him? They didn't know of Michael's drug problems?

70. There is so much unclear in this case... Here in Switzerland and on german TV they're saying that it was his oldest son seeing Michael having a break down.
The doctor says, he found Michael on the bed.
Then here again news are spread that it took an hour before someone called 911...

Very suspicious all those informations...

71. Can anyone say defibrillator? Where was this Black Quack's> Why wasn't MJ on the Floor... even AFTER the 911 operator requested it happen.

Why did 911 get called twenty minutes maybe 1/2 an hour after MJ pased out?
How did the Quack just "happen" to be in MJ's bedroom? and Just happen to notice he was breathing?
And just happen to be a cardiologist?
Why was he using only one hand?
Why didn't he use mouth to mouth if MJ had a pulse?
Why is anyone believing this guy?
Why did the LAPD let this guy go?
Why am I not going to work?
Why did my boss just call and tell me I'm fired becausde I've decided top post on TMZ all day instead of going to work?
Why did I marry the woman who jujst took 3/4's of my net worth in a divorce settlement?
Why doesn't someone answer my questions?
WHY?

72. Unfortunately Michael shares some responsibility in all of this. Poor Michael... really??? He sought out Dr.s who would be yes men and provide him with whatever he wished, had Murray not been there it most certainly would have been some other hack. The fact is that Michael created this situation and it's no surprise that he's suffered the consequences of it. While I find the situation sad, the primary fault rests on M.J. himself.

73. for those of you coming to this quack's defense, the reason he hasn't been named a suspect is that until the toxicology reports come back and they are able to determine MJ's cause of death, technically there is no crime to "suspect" him of. i have a feeling charges will most certainly be filed within minutes of a COD determination.

74. As a CPR/ACLS certified instructor, I agree with everyone else. You do not do CPR on a bed--the only reason it is done on a bed in a hospital is because you have a backboard on your crash cart to place under the patient or the headboard can be removed from the bed and used as a backboard. One of the very first things you do in an arrest situation is call for help, too. There were other people around who could have immediately called 911. And using one hand?? Only on a small child--sure--MJ only weighed a little over 100 lbs, but he was nearly 6 ft. tall!!! Total incompetence!!!!

75. To the CPR experts, if someone has a weak pulse, compressions are suggested. A weak pulse does not allow the adequate blood flow through the body so compressions are necessary.

As for the crackpots involved in MJ's death, this doc is a certified retard for not putting him on the floor. This lawyer is an even bigger ahole trying to convince others that the bed is a "firm" bed. I doubt MJ had a hospital bed that has the ability to go firm (like ICU beds).
