Dr. Conrad Murray seemed not to know how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation as he waited for paramedics to arrive at Michael Jackson's house, a witness at Murray's preliminary hearing testified Tuesday.
Former Jackson security chief Faheem Muhammed said he and and guard Alberto Alvarez saw Murray crouched next to Jackson's bed "in a panicked state asking, 'Does anyone know CPR?'"
"I looked at Alberto because we knew Dr. Murray was a heart surgeon, so we were shocked," Muhammed said.
When defense lawyer Ed Chernoff asked if perhaps Murray was only asking for help because he was tired, Muhammed said "The way that he asked it is as if he didn't know CPR."

Oviously;Conrad Murray [NEVER] should have been hired to keep Michael health in check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So does that mean that AIG SHOULD BE RESPOSSIBLE FOR THE DECISION TO HIRE HIM-[LIKE JOE JACKSON IS CLAIMING] my opinion either way this man IS RESPOSSIBLE for Michael's death...He administerd the drugs to Michael that euthenized him so deeply he could not come out of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Michael's heart stopped beating.........................
GO TO HELL CONRAD MURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THATS WHERE KILLERS BELONG..............................NOT CONTINUING TO PRACTICE [PERIOD]...................................
Word, Cheryl! I'm sure, he was on contract for this. They probably had a paragraph that lined out, how they were gonna bail him out, too (see caption for it). Wow. I am such a hick, apparently! I had no idea.
the whole situation is sad and sickens me dr.s are dr.s and not all fall under the same catergory as far as the way they practice. not all have to fall because of one bAD APPLE NO PUN intended. But held accontable that is something that should definately be in place at all times not just for MJ. Come on are any of us relly surprised by the facts in this story , i don't think so. In my opinion and i work in med field as well and have for 25 years, is that as a person we determine how we conduct ourselves personally and professionally and if we choose to be ignorant to the basiscs such as cpr. the foundation of the medical ladder will fall out from under us. Kind of puts the rest of us in the medical profession on check when these things happen or at least it should. Sad that it takes things like this to happen to a person of influence to bring so much attention. if it were the average joe i wonder would this even be a disscussion.
Thanks, Conrad Murray, for helping Michael out of this twisted and cruel world to a place where no one can slander or defile this wonderful man again. RIP, my angel.
Its impossible for a doctor not to know basic CPR. QUACK,QUAK,QUAK!!!!
This guy is not a heart surgeon. I live in Houston and that is the biggest joke going. Check the Texas Medical Board's website to see his credentials (or lack thereof).
@TheMD: I'm sure that you are "a very nice person," but your post makes you come off as an arrogant ass! Big whoop that "you're the one who went to college for four years and then medical school for four years" . . . etc. I have participated in plenty of codes which were well in progress before any doctors showed up, and NONE of the doctors have been so high-and-mighty that CPR was beneath them!! Yep, they got in line for their two-minute turn, right alongside the RN's. Some do it better than others–as in any skill in life. BUT - NONE of them stood around with their hands in their pockets saying "duhhhh, does anybody know how to do CPR?" As you know, (or should know,) if you witness a person down and you are the only one there, you call for help, and then start CPR. So when you tire out, you tire out . . . but this "doctor" by all accounts, did not even attempt to start CPR! Unacceptable, no excuse whatsoever!
He's guilty! just look at his OJ face
I agree he was a bad cardiologist, but I doubt that was Michaels concern. Michael was a child and only hired you ifyou said yes. He just wanted someone who would prescribe drugs. He didnt care about how good of a doctor he ad because he was an addict. Should Dr. Murray lose his liscense ? Absolutely. Go to jail? Not too sure on that one.
He's not a heart surgeon, he's a cardiologist. Hard to believe his med school let him pass.
Wasn't Michael dating RuPaul before committing suicide?
