Michael Jackson's doctor wasn't qualified to treat The King of Pop, and made almost every misstep possible in the singer's dying moments, a witness in the family's lawsuit said today.
The plaintiff's expert, cardiologist Dr. Daniel Wohgeternter, walked jurors through a series of errors by Dr. Conrad Murray when Jackson passed away from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol on June 25, 2009.
"Dr. Murray did not have the appropriate training, experience or knowledge to administer propofol," Wohgeternter said. "Murray didn't have the proper equipment, or ancillary personnel. all of these factors were not present."
When Murray found Jackson unresponsive, the doctor administered CPR on the singer's bed.
Murray should have given him mouth-to-mouth on the floor, because Jackson needed oxygen in his lungs at that point, Wohgeternter said.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and is serving four years behind bars.
Jackson's family is suing concert promoters at AEG Live, claiming they should be held civilly responsible for hiring Murray.
The quack doc was a cardiologist, and Wohgeternter said he didn't understand why Jackson would need a heart specialist.
"Given that Michael Jackson had no history of heart disease, or high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, he didn't need a cardiologist," the witness said. "It's a mismatch. It's not what he needs."
During cross-examination defense lawyers tried to belittle Wohgeternter as a professional witness.
Wohgeternter revealed that he charges $8,500 for a full day of testimony, and has made more than $1 million over 30 years.
He's testified 400 times and given 200 depositions, mostly in medical malpractice lawsuits, the doctor said.
