Jackson’s ex-doc will not practise in T&T—Fuad

Health Minister Fuad Khan has denounced rumours that Canadian-born doctor Conrad Murray has been employed by his ministry, noting he will not be practising in T&T. In an interview yesterday at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope, Khan said he was unaware that Murray had been employed as a doctor or consultant in this country.

Murray spent nearly two years in jail in the United States on an involuntary manslaughter charge stemming from the death of pop icon Michael Jackson in 2009. His medical licence was revoked in Texas and suspended in both California and Nevada. Yesterday, the entertainment news Web site TMZ reported that Murray would be treating children with heart problems in T&T and was employed by this country’s Ministry of Health but Khan denied the report. “I didn’t employ him,” he said.

Khan said he would certainly know if Murray had been employed by his ministry. “I would have been informed,” he added. Asked if there was any truth to the online article, which had as of yesterday afternoon been reported and quoted by several other Web sites, including reputable international news agency CNN and several US radio stations.

“What I would say is that 98 per cent of what you read on the internet is garbage. If people believe everything that is written, what would you do?” Khan asked. Last year, in an interview with a daily newspaper, Khan said Murray could make a case legally to practise in T&T, as Section 40 of the Constitution guarantees citizens equal rights. He said then that Murray had already paid his dues and there was the possibility he could make a case to the Medical Board.

Khan talks with Murray
Last week Khan met with Murray to discuss a proposal to use Murray’s “connections” with doctors at hospitals in the United States, via a foundation, to provide medical attention “at a low or no cost to the Government of T&T.” Khan said he had no problem with such a qualified doctor trying to assist children in getting specialised health care for heart problems at significantly reduced costs. He said the average cost of such a service was more than US$200,000.

Khan dismissed concerns over Murray’s reputation, noting he will not be practising locally.

Dr Murray offers to help sick children
Thursday, March 13 2014 (T&T Newsday)

Dr Conrad Murray has offered to help children and adult cardiac patients access specialist care overseas, Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan disclosed yesterday.

“He has offered to assist with his contacts abroad for paediatric cardiac surgery and cardiology. It will be at a low cost to the country,” Khan told Newsday in a text message reply.

Born in Grenada but raised in Trinidad, Murray served two years in prison in the United States for the death of pop icon Michael Jackson who died from an overdose of propofol in 2009.

Murray returned to Trinidad for Carnival earlier this month, playing mas with his daughter and girlfriend.

Khan was asked about persistent reports that Murray was in talks with the Health Ministry.

“I have not employed anybody,” Khan said in his text reply last evening.

Earlier yesterday, Khan denied Murray had found employment in Trinidad when asked about reports circulating on the Internet.

“Ninety-eight percent of what you read on the net is garbage, 98 percent of the medical journals, what people put there, are theatrics,” Khan told reporters at the launch of a drug prevention programme at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope. Reports surfaced on American entertainment news website TMZ, that Conrad doctor is in talks with the Health Ministry to use his connections as a well-known heart surgeon to facilitate surgeries for Trinidadian children abroad.

TMZ said Murray’s role will be strictly consultative, and he will not be treating patients. The proposal came after concerns were expressed that there was a backlog of cases of children awaiting heart surgeries.

Khan, according to a local television news report, has said Murray will have to put his proposal in writing for the ministry to consider. Khan has previously said there was no reason why Murray could not practice in Trinidad, if he is approved for a medical licence by the Medical Board.

Murray previously practiced as a heart surgeon in Trinidad before migrating to the United States.
