People vs. Dr. Conrad Murray Sleep Doc: Murray's Care Was "Disturbing"

Sleep Expert -- Dr. Nader Kamangar Testifies

Dr. Nadar Kamangar -- a pulmonary and critical care doctor who specializes in sleep medicine -- had some harsh words for Dr. Conrad Murray ... calling his use of Propofol "inconceivable," "unethical," and "disturbing."

Kamangar -- who is an adviser for the CA Medical Board -- said he found "multiple extreme deviations" in Murray's standard of care as it relates to insomnia.

* Dr. Kamangar told the court insomnia is a common problem in the ICU ... he said he uses Propofol on a daily basis. * Kamangar said Propofol should be used with extreme caution because it can be unpredictable, especially when used with other sedatives. * He said Murray's treatment of Michael Jackson amounted to "gross negligence." * According to Kamangar , Murray should have never given MJ any sedatives because he was dehydrated ... which means his blood pressure was already low. * He also said Murray's failure to call 911 was an "unconscionable deviation of care" adding, Murray wasted critical time calling MJ's assistant instead of calling 911. * Kamangar told the court Murray broke one of the first rules of medicine -- putting your patient first -- when he witheld information from ER docs. * He also said Murray behaved unethically when he chose to ignore "clear signs" of MJ's drug addiction.
