Taken from http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20090728/tts-...be-972e412.html LOS ANGELES (AFP) - - Michael Jackson's doctor administered the powerful drug police believed killed the music superstar, CNN quoting a source with knowledge of the investigation reported.ADVERTISEMENT Doctor Conrad Murray has become the focus of the probe into Jackson's death amid reports that bottles of the potent anesthetic propofol were found at the star's mansion after his tragic June 25 demise. A report on CNN's website did not give further information and a spokeswoman for Murray's legal team refused to comment. A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department also declined to comment. Jackson's cause of death has been deferred pending the outcome of toxicology tests following a June 25 post mortem. Those test results could be released later this week. The report comes just days after federal agents and detectives swooped without warning on Murray's Houston office, revealing for the first time in a search warrant that Jackson's death was being treated as possible manslaughter. Propofol is used in hospitals to induce unconsciousness in patients ahead of major surgery. Experts say it should only be administered by a trained anesthesiologist and there could be no reason for it to be in Jackson's home. Lawyers for Murray said in a statement last week the doctor was keen to assist authorities in their investigation and was preparing for a third meeting with police after two earlier interviews. "The coroner wants to clear up the cause of death, we share that goal," attorney Ed Chernoff said in a statement. Murray is currently in Las Vegas, his legal team said, and Chernoff insisted that "based on Dr Murray's minute-by-minute and item-by-item description of Michael Jackson's last days, he should not be a target of criminal charges. "Dr Murray was the last doctor standing when Michael Jackson died and it seems all the fury is directed toward him," Chernoff said. "Dr Murray is frustrated by negative and often erroneous media reports, he has to walk around 24-7 with a bodyguard. He can't operate his practice." In the immediate aftermath of Jackson's death, friends of the singer's family said the clan had "unanswered questions" regarding Murray. "They (the family) are suspicious of this doctor and they have real reason to be because any other doctor would say 'Here's what happened in the last hour of his life and I was there. I gave him some medicine,'" family friend and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson said. "(Murray) owes it to the family and to the public to say, 'These were the last hours of Michael's life and here's what happened.' That's a reasonable expectation."

This is serious. PM if necessary. For those who don't know this procedure, don't ask.

June 25, 2008 JUNIOR DOC IN 2006 DRUG STING He becomes doctor, then dies suddenly After 8-month jail term, he was given chance to complete his housemanship; but he dies in hospital after short illness By Teh Joo Lin & Judith Tan A YOUNG doctor embroiled in a high-profile drug bust two years ago died on Friday, months after he looked to have turned his life around. Dr Adrian Yeo See Seng, 29, was thrust into the limelight in 2006 when he walked into a drug sting at a Bencoolen Street hotel and was caught with methamphetamine, or Ice. In the court case that followed, the then-medical houseman claimed that he was only experimenting with the drug. He was jailed for eight months. When he finished his sentence, he vowed to clean up his life, become a physician and volunteer overseas. 'He was a good man - one who had a hard life and who, despite all the setbacks, achieved his dream of becoming a practising doctor,' a fellow physician wrote on his blog. According to the blogger, Dr Yeo began vomiting blood at home earlier this month and was taken to the intensive care unit at a hospital. He had been nursing a nagging cough from a viral chest infection that worsened in the past six weeks. The blogger, who had befriended Dr Yeo when he was a houseman at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH), wrote that he may have been suffering from an 'intractable' form of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The condition hinders the ability of blood to clot and can cause sufferers to bleed to death. He never regained consciousness. Lawyer Kertar Singh, who represented Dr Yeo in court, said his late client had harboured dreams of becoming a physician and being 'useful to society and mankind' following his release from prison. The two had met over dinner after he was freed. 'He told me that, given the opportunity, he would go abroad and do volunteer service to help those in dire need: people in disaster- and epidemic-hit places,' Mr Singh told The Straits Times. Dr Yeo was given that chance in March last year, when the Singapore Medical Council allowed him to continue his housemanship after he was released from prison. The council said that he had been an active volunteer since his release and cited glowing testimonials from his peers and doctors. Dr Yeo was a taxi driver's son who made good. He finished his housemanship at SingHealth hospitals at the end of last year. He worked at SGH between January and April this year before he was posted to the emergency department at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital last month. Other colleagues expressed their feelings about the late Dr Yeo in their personal blogs. His family members, who had stood by him throughout his ordeal, declined to speak to reporters. http://www.straitstimes.com/Free/Sto...7.html?vgnmr=1 RIP

Did anyone read this? I thought it would have been discussed in MCF but couldn't find any in Lite&EZ. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_205310.html Not sure if the patient got pregnant after this "treatment". Copy and paste here for easy reading: ------------------------------------------- Feb 11, 2008 Doc who had affair with patient suspended By Chong Chee Kin The council, which is the regulatory body overseeing all doctors here, noted that Yeong (right, in a file photo) did not take advantage of the woman. -- PHOTO: ST FILE A SENIOR doctor who had sex with one of his patients at KK Women's and Children's Hospital has been suspended for two years by the Singapore Medical Council. Consultant gynaecologist Yeong Cheng Toh, 43, a fertility expert and father of three, confessed that he acted improperly by having a sexual relationship with his patient, who is also married. Not only did they have an affair, but Yeong also revealed confidential information about how two other patients at the hospital were treated to the woman. This breached patient confidentiality regulations. He also tampered with his lover's hospital records, filling in erroneous information in her biodata. He also failed to account for her visits and did not properly document her medical condition as well as the results of her medical examinations. It is not clear why he did this. The council, which is the regulatory body overseeing all doctors here, noted that Yeong did not take advantage of the woman. An SMC spokesman said: 'The patient was not physically or psychologically vulnerable, and there was no exploitation of her.' Citing patient confidentiality, the council did not reveal details about the woman. Yeong was involved with the woman while he was at KK Hospital between April 2003 and March 2005. After he left, he joined a clinic in Mount Elizabeth Hospital. The SMC was alerted to the offences after KK Hospital lodged a complaint with it. All doctors have to abide by a strict ethical code of practice and are barred from having sexual relationships with their patients. Yeong, who had been practising since 1991, was a consultant with KK Hospital's Reproductive Medicine Unit at the time of the offences. He has penned several papers on pregnancies in Singapore and has testified as a medical expert in cases before the High Court.

I wouldn't go into details what this particular doctor did to secretly take the photos. Refer to the papers, it's headline. He is suspended from work but I can't imagine what's on his mind . I can't imagine what he does to his female patients. So much for foreign talent. To be fair, I have a fair share of friends who are good doctors. Hopefully this serves as a warning to those in the healthcare sector, they're here to save lives, not abuse them.
