  When I wrote the Michael Jackson chapter in 'Getting Over Going Under,' I assumed Murray was just a fool operating out of his knowledge base who made a tragic mistake in the greedy pursuit of money. I was the board certified anesthesiologist Murray's defense attorney, Michael Flanagan, sought out before they got Paul White. When Flanagan tried to impress me with his client's superior clinical prowess, he said, "When Dr. Murray performs cardioversion, he doesn't even start an IV. He just injects the propofol directly into the patient's vein." My eyes grew very large in astonishment. I responded saying, "Well you have impressed me, but not in the manner in which you hoped. There are no words to adequately describe the recklessness of Murray's conduct." Later, during Murray's trial, I learned Murray had hospital clinical privileges to perform cardiac catheterization under propofol sedation necessitating pulse oximeter monitoring. He knew perfectly well what the significance of a decreasing pulse oximeter tone meant; i.e. inadequate breathing. Despite his pulse oximeter knowledge, Murray purchased the cheapest pulse oximeter on the market - one that had neither an audible tone nor an alarm. By his own public admission, he gave Jackson propofol & left the room - an act commonly described as patient abandonment. It was only then I understood that Murray, while maybe an intelligent person, does not believe the well-established safety guidelines apply to his practice. This type of reckless behavior is common among sociopaths who under no circumstances should ever hold a license to practice medicine. - Barry L. Friedberg, M.D. - Corona del Mar, CA, USA
