Michael Jackson’s doc Conrad Murray returns to work

London: Late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray, is said to have returned to work in Nevada despite the manslaughter charge he is facing after the singer’s death.Murray was bailed for 75,000 dollars after pleading not guilty to “unlawfully” killing the star, at a court in Los Angeles earlier this week, and under the terms of his bail, he is allowed to continue to practise medicine, but cannot use certain drugs.

“You may not under any circumstances use any anaesthetic agents, specifically Propofol,” the BBC quoted Judge Keith Schwartz as telling Dr Murray on February 8. His lawyer, Edward Chernoff, has stressed that his 56-year-old client intends “to keep practising medicine”. Miranda Sevcik, a spokeswoman for Dr Murray and Chernoff, said the doctor was making arrangements to work out of another physician’s office in Las Vegas, having closed his own premises in the city last August. “We’re not sharing the location because the doctor’s primary concern is for his patients’ privacy,” Sevcik stated. Dr Murray, a cardiologist, continues to operate his other practice in Houston, having resumed work there in November. He is licensed to practise medicine in Nevada, Texas and California, although the California Medical Board is preparing to seek removal of his licence there. ANI
