Sleep doctor said Dr. Murray experimenting on Michael Jackson – Day 11

Sleep doctor, Dr. Nadar Kamangar took the stand on Day 10 and 11 of the Michael Jackson manslaughter trial to explain why Dr. Murray’s treatment of MJ was “inconceivable,” “unethical,” and “disturbing.”

Dr. Kamangar told the court insomnia is a common problem in the ICU … he said he uses Propofol on a daily basis.

He told the jury that Propofol should be used with extreme caution because it can be unpredictable, especially when used with other sedatives.

He said Murray’s treatment of Michael Jackson amounted to “gross negligence.”

According to Kamangar , Murray should have never given MJ any sedatives because he was dehydrated … which means his blood pressure was already low.

He also told the court that Murray’s failure to call 911 was an “unconscionable deviation of care” adding, Murray wasted critical time calling MJ’s assistant instead of calling 911.

He told the court Murray broke one of the first rules of medicine — putting your patient first — when he witheld information from ER docs. He also said Murray behaved unethically when he chose to ignore “clear signs” of MJ’s drug addiction.

This doctor obviously disagreed with all areas of care from this doctor.

The drugs MJ took were a “recipe for disaster,” saying the cocktail of meds caused MJ death. He also said that the lack of charting MJ was “an egregious violation” and a contributing factor in the singer’s death.

Kamangar told defense lawyers MJ seemed to have clear signs of insomnia triggered by “secondary causes” such as anxiety or drug addiction.

Murray should have ruled out other possible problems that could have caused MJ’s insomnia and should have tried other therapies before loading him up with a boatful of drugs.

Flanagan asked Kamangar about a study showing Propofol is safe to use for insomnia. Kamangar said the study was done in a monitored area after secondary problems have been ruled out … he insisted it’s incomprehensible to use Propofol at home.

This doctor also stressed that using Lorazepam to treat insomnia is inappropriate.

What also hurt the defense (I know you are thinking what else…..)… was that this doctor said based on the transcripts from the police interview — he believed Murray gave MJ 25 mg of Propofol PLUS an additional unspecified amount through an IV drip on June 25.

Kamanger said Murray subjected MJ to an experiment by giving him Propofol to treat his insomnia.

Yes there you have it….MJ was an experiment for a lot of money for what appears an incompetent doctor.

Let us know what you think.
