Descrição:

P. 218: With two rounds of starter drugs failing to have any effect on Jackson, and UCLA ready to pronounce him dead, the paramedics administered one final round of starter drugs at 12:40pm. Again, there was no sign of life in Jackson and at 12:57pm, UCLA base station, through Dr Richelle Cooper, advised that further resuscitation efforts on Jackson would be futile and that they could pronounce him dead.

Hearing this verdict over the radio, Dr Murray said, ‘No, I don’t want to call it. I want to keep trying’. Murray was convinced he could feel another pulse in Jackson, this time inside one of the singer’s elbows. UCLA were aware that Murray was in the room, but not that he was a doctor and when Senneff told them that the patient was a very high profile VIP and that ‘the physician on the scene doesn’t want to call it,’ Dr Richelle Cooper asked if Murray was willing to assume control of the call by saying, ‘If the doctor wants to try, if he accepts the care, that will be fine.’ As Murray had a valid California medical licence, this was all within protocol.

Murray was eager to assume control. He felt that UCLA were slow in giving orders and that the 20 minutes they had tried to revive Jackson was an unnecessarily limited amount of time given the fact that he said he had only been out of the room for two minutes. He didn’t want to pronounce Jackson dead. Not there. And not then.

So, once he had assumed control, Murray suddenly had power over the paramedics within the room. Senneff relinquished responsibility and stopped the radio call with the base station at UCLA a few seconds later and began to follow instructions from Dr Murray. Murray had his own ideas about what should be done; he wanted to give Jackson some bicarbonate, he wanted to administer a central line and he also wanted to give Jackson magnesium. But most of all, Murray wanted to get Jackson to hospital.
