Injury Duty - Thriller k**er lyrics

Dr. Conrad Murray's legal team might have had a better defense if they tried to convince the jury that the defendant took the Hypocritical oath instead of the Hippocratic oath. After six weeks of trial and hours of deliberation, the jury unanimously found Michael Jackson's doctor GUILTY of involuntary manslaughter. The maximum sentence he would face is four years in prison (sentencing is set for Nov. 29). Due to the overcrowding of California prisons, Murray may be able to serve his sentence on house arrest (after getting $150,000 a month from Jackson for his medical services, his house could probably be on [Convict] Cribs). Even if he gets off that easy, Murray still faces a wrongful d**h suit from the Jackson family and has an uphill battle to keep his medical license. Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 of a cardiac arrest (his heart stopped pumping blood). Jackson's d**h was likely related to toxic doses of an anesthetic (stuff that puts you to sleep before surgery), called Propofol, that Dr. Murray gave him to treat his insomnia. Propofol is a widely used anesthetic for many surgeries because it takes effect quickly (as fast as 30 sec) and patient's recover quickly. It is usually injected intravenously (in a vein, IV) and because of its milky appearance, medical nerds refer it to as “milk of amnesia.” In a setting with proper monitoring (i.e. operating rooms in hospitals) and trained personnel (i.e. anesthesiologists), Propofol is a pretty safe drug. However, using it to treat insomnia and doing so at a patient's home (especially without appropriate monitoring of heart and lung function) like in Michael Jackson's case is unanimously unacceptable in the medical community. According to court records, Dr. Murray was giving the King of Pop less than the average dose of Propofol to treat his insomnia. However, Jackson was also receiving a co*ktail of other d**, including lorazepam (a sedative in the cla** of d** implicated in “date rape”), and Demerol (a strong pain medication). This potentially lethal combination can cause cardiac arrhythmias (heart beating off beat) and respiratory depression (difficulty breathing on your own), which is likely what happened in Jackson's case. Although the defense's case that Michael Jackson was a drug addict and Propofol alone was not the cause of Jackson's case was likely true, Dr. Murray fed Jackson's addiction and behaved outside the ethical lines of standard medical care. The Prosecution made it clear that no matter how the defense tried to swing it, Murray failed his patient by treating him with Propofol in the first place. Although our society glorifies celebrities, the fact remains that they are no different than anyone else in the medical setting. Dr. Murray was faced with the ultimate ethical dilemma: lose a high-profile cash cow of a client by doing the right thing or letting Michael Jackson call the shots to keep his job? The last doctor to face such a crossroads was Jan Adams, the cosmetic surgeon that operated on Kanye's mom, and we all know how that story ended. In the eyes of the law, Dr. Murray's actions are a cla**ic case of malpractice whether the victim was the King of Pop or not. For the race card players out there, Justice was served yesterday and “baby it don't matter, it don't matter if [Murray] black or white.”
