what the heck is this LAPD vs. DA about, they better get on the same page.
Ok...regarding the CPR. In the hospital I have been in many "Code Blue" situations so I am going to share a few things I know about it here, which I have shared in other threads as well.
We immediately hook them up to a heart monitor if they aren't hooked up already. We do CPR on the bed but we use a hard plastic back board. Michael was thin and it is possible if he were think to do one hand CPR, or if the bed was very firm it might have worked also. The thing is...CPR takes strong pushes on the chest and ribs are often broken during CPR and this is normal. You don't do CPR when there is a heartbeat present.
When someone overdoses on Propofol the real problem is that they stop breathing. Thats the FIRST thing to happen. Breathing slows rapidly and you have to keep them breathing. This drug is often used in places like Intensive Care to keep someone sedated while on a ventilator so they don't 'fight' the vent.
He had to stop breathing and thats what causes the heart to stop. So...what he needed most was an "Ambu Bag" which is a mechanical bag that forces air into the lungs. This can happen in 10 minutes of being out of the room. It can happen in 5.
It was more important to make him breathe than to get his heart beating faster because they go hand in hand. Get him breathing and the heart would get oxygen, etc. I am not sure what Murray was thinking by giving this drug without monitoring equipment and resuscitation equipment.
In that sense I blame Murray for not having the correct equipment on hand to care for his patient in case of emergency.

^ Thanks for all that, it's appreciated. I'm learning about airway in EMT-Basic book right now and a 'ambu bag' is the same as Bag Valve Mask (BVM) correct?
Immediately my first question is why he didn't have one?? Do you think technically part of the reason they know they can charge him with Involuntary Manslaughter is going to narrow down to negligence because he wasn't prepared by having lifesaving equipment readily available?

It's not negativity hon it's realism. Dr, Conrad Murderer will be charged yes, but I bet you anything he will spend NO time in jail. He probably won't even get his licences taken away. All I'm saying is to prepare yourself.

Really! :agree: I still don't even understand what the "feud" is about...
As LAPD worked on this case for months they want to arrest , cuff him, book him and take him to the arraignment. On the other hand DA is talking surrender of him. So apparently LAPD feels like they are left out and DA giving easy pass to Murray. LAPD feels that as he is charged with murder of another human being he should do the perp-walk not let to walk in and out the arraignment.
No, why should the estate pay the DA?Wasn't the DA given money by Michael's estate from Blanca?

Charging Conrad Murray is a little bit more important than the LAPD's moment of glory.
^ yeah everything will eventually unfold and we'll know the offical autposy report.
I just heard on a French news channel that is usually reliable (but now I wonder...) that Murray's lawyers are actually negociating the charges, not the way Murray will be arrested or where. And, according to their journalist, that's the reason of the problem between LAPD and the DA.
yes it's gotta be charges and not handcuffs.Somehow, I believe that too. There's no way there will be this much feud over whether to handcuff him or not. That's silly. I think they're arguing whether to charge Murray with manslaughter or murder.
If they have a strong solid murder case, go on and get that ball rolling.

Seems crazy, I just can't believe it.
For those who speak french, here is their website , they will talk about it again (they usually repeat their news every 15 20 mn), they have a live feed on their site.
They say their sources are tabloids (that they said were not so reliable), and people in the DA's office and LAPD. No names of course.

I'm still praying the charge will be murder. Seriously, if the LAPD are thinking of charging Murray of that, if they have a case for that, GO FOR IT!
It's the TRUTH, and we don't want anything else!
Justice for Michael. That's all I want. Justice for Michael.
Everybody does but how should he get 100% justice after being dead already?!...
