Dr. Conrad Murray Has Patients

Dr. Conrad Murray may be on the hotseat with the LAPD over Michael Jackson's death, but that's not going to cramp his style when it comes to proving to the world he's a beloved MD.

In addition to his "thank you" video, Dr. Murray posted contact info for 14 of his patients who would give testimonials. They wouldn't talk Propofol, but were more than eager to give props to the good doc.

Here are a few highlights:

Rev. Floyd Williams: "If Murray wasn't black, none of this would be happening. It's the media hype to show that black folks are still the minority"

Eliza Robertson: "If Katherine [Jackson] is that concerned she should have stopped all of the painkillers [Michael] was taking before. I would have tried to get him on a better road."

"[Dr. Murray] would leave Las Vegas and come take care of me in my home [in Houston], and pay me visits, and give me checkups. I don't believe that Murray would have given or prescribed MJ anything he didn't ask for."

Ben Mask: "When Dr. Murray moved his office into my neighborhood there wasn't a lot of money out here just a lot of old people living off checks. When he came out here he was behind on his bills and he needed the money. If I was in his shoes I would have taken the money too. It was an offer he couldn't refuse. It could be a set up ... You just never know, things are so crooked."

Robert "Bobby" Day: "He was the type of doctor that people would want to hug on their way out. He never rushed people and he was wonderful with following up. Everyone adored him."

2. how much is he paying them to say this, and the ben mask dude sounds like an idiot just like murray, taking money to administer drugs illegally

3. I am so SICK of black people using the race card. More white people died in the Civil War to end slavery than there were slaves.

4. i bet those aren't even real patients, what patient would want to be associated with a negligent quack

5. Please not the race card defense. MJ was also black--doesn't matter. His patients are obviousely as stupid as Murray.

6. You're kidding me, right? The race of this doctor has nothing to do with the fact that he practiced risky medicine, at best, by putting Jackson under anesthesia in a setting where he couldn't properly be monitored. He had to know that at some point, this had a HUGE potential to end badly.

White, black, purple, green or orange, he was at best negligent. At worst, he's a murderer. Either way, nobody broke his arm or held a gun to his head. He entered into this agreement WILLINGLY, regardless of the reason.

Now, he needs to pay the price/

7. what a crock... hes a doctor in deep debt.. and crossed the line of ethics

Posted at 5:56PM on Aug 18th 2009 by blah blah blah

8. They are all stupid! What he did was inexecusable, and in case they forgot Michael Jackson was the black man that died under Murray's care. I thought Doctor's had to take an oath. He must've missed that day at online medical school.

9. Dude, this guy is horrible. All he said was I'm innocent thanks to all you who believe me, which I don't think is very many people. No I feel horrible about Michaels Death or im sorry about Michael. Nothing about how the family must feel or the loss to the whole world. He killed Michael so he could steal money and property from him before anybody noticed. He was and is a broke ass quack doctor that is evil to the core. I would not let him do a check up on my cat!

12. If the Doc is giving out stuff just because the patient asks...I would like a billion dollars, and a wheelbarrow full of heroine...oh yeah, and piece on Earth. Doctors are supposed to be the adults in this adult / child (patient) situation.

13. How lame. Im black but this whole race issue is BS here.

Even IF Michael asked Dr Murray for Propofol.. he would NEVER have given him that in Michaels own HOME setting without any equipments whatsoever!!

How wreckless can a doctor be?

This doc KNEWED exactly what he were doing when he gave MJ propofol outside a hospital He adventured his own reputation and medical licence.

He is very much responsible and should NEVER have given MJ propofil despite all the money and despite the risk of being fired.

14. I LOVE this: "I don't believe that Murray would have given or prescribed MJ anything he didn't ask for."

Umm, a decent physician would not have allowed the patient to dictate what drugs are prescribed or give a patient anything they ask for regardless of whether the medication is clinically appropriate!

15. what, being black exonerates you from medical malpractice and negligence?
