Dr. Conrad Murray to the Rescue -- The Video

A bunch of you thought the whole mid-air medical emergency with Dr. Conrad Murray and a passenger was a publicity stunt. Well, we just got video that suggests it was the real deal.

Remember our story -- that the doc on trial for allegedly killing Michael Jackson was on a US Air flight when a female passenger passed out with a dangerously low pulse.
The photo below was taken during the emergency, and the video -- which shows the woman being wheeled off the plane with Dr. Murray in tow -- was shot after the plane made an emergency landing.
The passenger who shot the video tells TMZ after the woman passed out the flight attendants tried in vain to revive her ... and that's when one of them got on the P.A. and asked if a doctor was on board.
The passenger says Dr. Murray walked over to the woman -- and several flight attendants thought he was just a regular passenger trying to make his way to the bathroom. We're told the flight attendants asked Murray to return to his seat ... and that's when he revealed he was an MD.
We're told Dr. Murray elevated the woman's feet and found a weak pulse. He asked the passenger who shot the video to help him move the woman to the front of the plane, and that's where Murray inserted an IV (apparently standard issue for the flight crew) and the woman began responding.
The woman in distress -- Sharon Ross -- told TMZ when she came to, Dr. Murray said, "You probably know me ... I was Michael Jackson's doctor."

(because typically, you wouldn't have your phone on in a plane in the air, right? But then again, at a certain height, they let you turn electronics on...)
Thanks, Mo!
Why would the doctor ...who is accused of killing Michael Jackson... remind a new patient that he was Michael's doctor? <!-- s
I love how grainy the video is. But how clear the TMZ picture is.
We're tearing this entry apart <!-- s
in the first report they said that the woman passed out and they asked over the p.a. if there was a doctor on board, now murray walked over to the woman by himself? or did he just act before they even asked if there was a doctor? was the woman near him, so he could see her? if so, why call a doc out on the p.a. when murray was close enough to the incident to reveal himself as a doc and not cause a possible commotion?
'he asked the passenger who shot the vid'...seems like the one shooting the vid is about a dozen rows away from the incident, or is there another passenger who shot a vid? so how did that go? he asks someone rows away from him to help?
and the last thing i'd say if i was murray: 'i was michael jackson's doctor.' there is no need to say that. 'my name is conrad murray, i'm a doctor. how do you feel?' would have been the appropriate thing to say, imo.
(i would go like: 'what? you wanna gimme a heart attack, now that i'm up again? what YOU doin' puttin' a needle in my arm anyway?')
right, the passengers are supposed to know him but the flight attendants didn't catch that murray was onboard after every single passenger has to walk by the flight attendants to get to his seat and is usually greeted personally when entering the aircraft...SURE!!!
'a bunch of you thought'...i'm still thinking that, especially after this second report. not buying, harvey!
anybody who hasn't seen the movie 'wag the dog' yet, please do! think this can't be staged? watch that movie and you won't believe another piece of 'news'. ever.

Firstly if any medical emergency takes place, the first thing you would do is carry the passenger to the back of the plane or to the nearest galley where you can make the person lie down and elevate them accordingly. Reasons for this is 1)to avoid the rest of the passengers panicking. 2)to give the attendants a chance to work on the patient withoug anyone interrupting 3)to have ample space to work on the patient, especially since patients have to be lying down instead of sitting up when being treated. I have had emergencies on my flights though none of them required IV's or injections.
So why was the patient still in her seat when Murray went to the loo - does he have nature calls everytime someone passes out?
Also why did Murray have to use a fellow passenger to move her and not the attendants.
And why don't they mention the attendant who had to open the locked emergency kit to get the IV out, the kits are always under lock and key and numbered plastic seals - as a report has to be filled out before each flight and the kit checked to see nothing is missing.
To me this is a mockup of an aircraft.
"the flight attendants tried in vain to revive her" like paramedics for Michael...
"Murray elevated the woman's feet and found a weak pulse." <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
"...move the woman to the front of the plane.." = to take command ?
The woman wakes up only when Murray inserts the IV...maybe we should look deeper into the meaning or symbolism behind an IV. Seems that it has a special power.
Who is Sharon Ross ? An actress...
I am taking the plane today, hope I will not faint <!-- s
Wasn't Murray a part of a real life soap?
Stethoscopes are not part of the emergency equipment on board.
IMO: Staged, and recorded pre June 25th.
I think so too, come on... the people on the plane dont even know who Murray is?
Murray is news en enough in the media.
And there is only one crappy quality vid of it?
Get outta here! <!-- s
( and where are murrays bodyguards.. i didnt see them)
Simalves,
Thank goodness there are professionals here on this forum in these occupations who can report the truth about such events. I thank you for setting the record straight as so often confusion breaks out. It is so hard to believe that this happened. I, too, find the timing of the occurrence very peculiar and ironic....I suspect it is a staged mock up as well.
Just sayin'
Nefari

Because of this:
Under which rock have they been hiding for the past 11 months..?
