Pulmonary and sleep expert Dr. Nader Kamangar testified that Dr. Conrad Murray’s decision not to call 911 when he noticed Michael Jackson wasn’t breathing was “an extreme and unconscionable deviation of the standard of care.” Dr. Kamangar also said “The first rule of thumb in basic life support is to call for help. If you have someone present, next to you, you call them to call for help. But if you have nobody, the most important thing is to call for help.” Sounds basic enough, but several prosecution witnesses have testified that Dr. Murray failure to promptly call for help might have been the difference between life and death for the King of Pop. Dr. Kamangar investigated Dr. Murray's care of Jackson for the California Medical Board and reports he found “extreme deviations” from the standard of care. The deviations Dr. Kamangar discovered mirror the findings of cardiologist Dr. Alon Steinberg who testified earlier in the day.
