one can abide by and adhere to the hippocratic oath by just even saying.... "sorry I am uncomfortable giving you and treating you with profofol, please find someone else to be your physician".
if you can't call the police fine.
Surely, if Murray wasn't so blinded by the almighty $$$$$$$ he COULD HAVE QUIT.
Of course we live in a world of selfish greed and all Murray saw was $150,000.
This is exactly what I've been saying, and thank you.
Vic, you are missing my point.
Michael was not taking it himself, he wanted a doctor to give it to him and watch him. He was not a danger to himself because he was not taking it himself in his bedroom. If Murray never gave him the propofol, I doubt Michael would had given to himself. You may say that the would had looked for someone else and that maybe so, but that is a 'what if'. So, Murray calling anyone would had been moot. It had already been discuss why Murray could not tell Michael's family and employee of this behavior so I feel no need to repeat it. Also, since he wanted the approval of a medical professional, that shows that he was indeed considering his life to a degree.
You saw TII for yourself. If Michael did not die, could you honestly tell me he was on something dangerous. Even his most hardcore critics who would had loved to find Michael hammer, didn't see anything usual. You are playing with 20/20 hindsight and things are always obvious when the mess actually happens.
I have not missed your point. I simply do not agree with it. It matters not at all whether or not the drug was self-administered (and of course Propofol can't be self-administered), or he got a doctor to do it. If not Murray, then someone else? But Murray WAS there and had a responsibility NOT to do what Michael (reportedly) asked him to. He could have stopped this risky behavior entirely. Would he have lost his job? Probably. Would Michael still be alive? I believe so. See quote by mjjfan4ever, above. THAT is the point.
I saw TII. What I saw was the world's greatest entertainer, in short clips of energy. His voice was beautiful, and his dancing was amazing. I also saw that his dancing had been modified to focus more on hand-motions and less on "footwork." (not inappropriate for a fifty-year old man?) I also saw someone who was so dangerously underweight, even for HIM, that he should have been in a hospital on I.V. nutrition. That is my opinion. Others may have other opinions, but I know what I saw.
