Excellent assessment.

I was suspicious of this doctor from the very beginning. I'm no detective or anything, but it's just common sense. Pieces of his story are just ridiculous. 1st red flag: Doc says he tried to perform CPR on MJ while he was on the bed. 1st rule in CPR- It only effective on a hard surface. Cardiologist defends himself by saying he supported MJ's back with one hand while administered CPR with the other. Umm, can we say botched CPR attempt. How in the world does one compress the chest with one hand. Sketchy. 2nd red flag: Doc waits 30 mins to call 911. After the call was made, it only took the ambulance a little over 3 mins to reach the house. HUGE red flag. I know this is speculation until the reports are in, but I suspect the doc was trying to cover his own a$$ by waiting to call 911. He was probably hoping that the Diprivan, it's looking like that's what stopped MJ's heart, would be eliminated from MJ's system. It has a very short half like and is eliminated from the body quickly. Call me cynical, but that's my theory.

If Diprivan caused the cardiac arrest, people need to pay. Doesn't matter if someone is hooked or not. Docs take a medical oath and it's their job to do what's ethical and keep their patient's best interests in mind. There are reports that MJ had an anesthesiologist on tour with him in the 90's. Well, this doc is not an anesthesiologist and he's most likely not trained to recognize the signs of trouble while one is under on Diprivan. I hoped that people would learn after Heath Ledger's death. What can I say? It's all about greed and money for some.

:sad: I was looking at pics in the tribute magazine and I could see white patches on his hands in the late 80's. He did have vitiligo, but the media never mentioned it. They made it look like he wanted to be white by bleaching his skin. His longtime friend said that MJ also suffered from lupus. They discovered it after they tried to repair his scalp when it was burned. He must have been in so much pain. Being the spotlight probably made the vitiligo symptoms worse for him. No one can hurt him anymore.

i love princess diana! the month my mom passed away, she was on the last chapter of that very 1st controversial biography of princess diana (while princess diana was still alive) - i believe it was the book that diana authorized.

i love how both MJ & Princess Diana hold themselves here...both classy and respectful of eachother.

I can't see this video, but if it's the one where she goes to his concert it's very sweet. She pulls him aside and asks him if he will be singing "Dirty Diana" in the show. MJ says "Oh no." He took it out of the show out of respect for her because it's a song about groupies. He said he couldn't possibly sing the song knowing that she was in the audience. She then tells him that Dirty Diana is her fave song. He says, "ARe you serious?!?" because he was so taken aback by her statement. I think he ended up singing it for her. If this is the video you posted, MJ talks about this in his private home movies. Very cute!

Isn't the right leg where Michael Jackson got his recluse spider bite a few years back? Could that be what that sad wound is, and with his current medication and/or skin condition made it worse?

I know that recluse spider bites are dangerous, and the skin doesn't heal correctly. If you google recluse spider bites, it looks very similar to what MJ's right leg looks like, and then knowing that he was bitten on his right leg makes it look like that's what it's from maybe?
My friend was bitten by a recluse spider years ago, and it took her months to recover from it. She still has a hideous scar, and the area in which she was bitten is still sensitive - and she was bitten two years ago. Also note she doesn't have a skin condition like Michael Jackson.
So with MJ having lupus and vitiligo, imagine the recovery period (the scar tissue healing, etc.) Maybe he was still suffering from it?

This is soo tragic! The fact that he had such an emotionally painful and physically painful skin condition (and burns and almost lethal spider bites added to it). How was he still able to go on living in such torturous critics on top of all his personally painful conditions? Poor Michael Jackson :cry:
