The 911 Call, Broken Rules

In thinking this through I have decided to start with the emergency call.  A body guard named Alberto Alverez actually made the call at 12:21 p.m.  It went like this:

Operator: Paramedic 33, what is the address of your emergency?
Caller: I need an ambulance as soon as possible, sir
Ok sir, what's your address?
Los Angeles California, 90077
Carolwood?
Carolwood Drive, yes,
Ok sir, what's the phone number you are calling from?
Sir, we have a gentleman here that needs help. He's stopped breathing, he's not breathing and we are trying to pump him, but he's not, he's not...
Ok ok, how old is he?
He's 50 years old, sir
Ok. He's not conscious, he's not breathing?
Yes, he's not breathing sir
And he's not conscious either?
No, he's not conscious sir
Ok (pause). Alright, is he on the floor, where's he at right now?
He's on the bed sir, he's on the bed
Ok let's get him on the floor
Ok
Ok let's get him down to the floor. I'm gonna help you with CPR right now, Ok
We need him... we need a...
Yes, we're already on our way there. We're on our way. I'm gonna do as far as I can to help you over the phone. We're already on our way. Did anybody see him?
Yes we have a personal doctor here with him, sir
Oh you have a doctor there?
Yes. But he's not responding to anything to no... no... he's not responding to the CPR or anything
Oh, OK. Well we're on our way there. If your guy is doing CPR and you're instructed by a doctor he has a higher authority than me. And he's there on the scene
Ok
Did anybody witness what happened?
No, just the doctor, sir. The doctor's been the only one here
Ok so did the doctor see what happened?
Doctor, did you see what happened sir? (inaudible voice) Sir, just, if you can please...
We are on our way. We are on our way. I'm just passing these questions on to my paramedics who are on their way there, sir.
Thank you sir. He's pumping, he's pumping his chest but he's not responding to anything sir. Please
Ok, OK, we are on our way. We are less than a mile away and we will be there shortly.
Thank you sir, thank you
Ok sir. Call us back if you need any help. Thank you



Ok, I have several questions about this:

Dr. Murray was giving chest compressions on the bed? Even the 911 operator clearly told Murray to put him on the floor. Why wouldn’t a cardiologist know this?  Really?  He didn’t call 911 while MJ lay dying? Why not? When 911 was called why wasn’t there more panic in Alverez’s voice? The man you are in charge of protecting is dying and you
don’t think it’s urgent?  He clearly didn’t seem to think so? Why not? Was Michael already dead? Why did the 911 Operator end the call? Protocol is that they remain on the line until paramedics arrive?  The call was made at 12:21 pm CDT. Paramedics arrived on the scene at 12:25 pm. Michael Jackson arrived at the hospital, approximately 3 miles from his house at 1:13 pm, Why the delay? And if he was already dead then why transport him to the hospital?




All of the reports I have heard indicate that Dr. Murry had authority to direct the paramedics…. THIS IS JUST NOT SO!!!


Here is the link to the L.A protocol It Actually prohibits a Doctors. on the Scene from directing advanced life support procedures.

This report clearly states that when the paramedics arrived, Jackson was on the floor.
Did Murray rethink doing CPR on the bed? It seems to this writer that he didn’t know how to do it. The report also states that there was a IV already inserted into Michael’s leg. Why not the arm? I think it was because Michael was already dead.  According to this report the hospital gave instructions to stop life saving efforts however, Murray ordered them to continue. GOING AGAINST PROTACAL GIVE BY THE L.A. HEALTH DEPT.  In the above report the Doctor has no right to dictate life saving measures???

  1. The problem with that link to the PDF is it was revised 6-5-10 almost one year after his death. You should put a link to the version before this. Also, it looks like provision 2 states if the doctor is not his personal physician
