Jacksons vs AEG - Day ۵۶ - July ۲۵ ۲۰۱۳ - Summary (source : ABC۷ unless otherwise indicated) Katherine Jackson is in court. Outside the presence of the jury, Jacksons' attorney Brian Panish expressed concern about next witness. Nurse and anesthetist David Fournie had conversation with Dr. Klein and defendants want to introduce that conversation in the testimony. Fournier is performing anesthesia in MJ, there's a situation that arises, Kathryn Cahan said. 'Oh, he has a Narcan implant,' Dr. Klein allegedly told Fournier, who then directs Fournier how to treat MJ. Panish said this was in ۲۰۰۳. He claims it's character evidence, that MJ never disclosed it to the nurse. He also claims to be hearsay. Judge asked sides to research if the conversation would be considered exception to the hearsay rule. Bina said Fournier didn't know what to do, he asked the doctor and changed the treatment. She said MJ admitted he had an implant after. Cahan: He's administered anesthesia, MJ stopped breathing for ۵ minutes, Fournier had to breath for him. Cahan: That continues until he realizes there's a reaction to Narcan implant. Panish asked what the relevance is, said defendants are trying to introduce character evidence, which has nothing to do with this case. Cahan said the relevance is that Fournier asked MJ about changes from prior treatment. Cahan: MJ knew he had a Narcan implant and chose not to disclose it. He stopped breathing for ۵ minutes in the middle of the procedure. Cahan said it goes to the issues of life expectancy, addiction issue, concealment of drug use. Judge is overruling the objection since she thinks it's been offered for the truth and it's hearsay. Defendants not allowed to use it. David Fournier (nurse anesthetist) Testimony AEG direct Kathryn Cahan did direct examination of David Fournier. Fournier said he's terrified of testifying today. He's testified twice before. He is a Certified registered nurse anesthetist, trained in the specialty of anesthesia. He did Bachelor Degree in Nursing and Master's Degree in Anesthesia. There's a board exam that need to be taken, Fournier did very well. There's a number of hours of continuing education needed to maintain license. Anesthesiologist gets bachelor degree in science, then medical school. Nurse anesthetist goes ۲ nursing school, then same training as doctor. Fournier graduated in ۱۹۸۴ from UCLA, has been practicing continuously since that time. He's self-employed, works at outpatient surgery in Beverly Hills; works with plastic, reconstructive, orthopedics, gynecological surgeries Fournier said he got a call in ۱۹۹۲ from a dermatologist's office, asked him to come by, stand by, didn't tell him who the client was. Doctor had a concern there might be anaphylactic reaction to inoculations. Fournier: I initially refused, I don't do that, doctor was very insistent, offered me cash upfront. "He said it was really important for me to go, since it was Michael Jackson," Fournier recalled. Fournier said the doctor was very concerned, didn't want anything to go wrong. Airway management is one of his skills, Fournier said. Three to six months later, Fournier recalled he was called back to treat MJ. This was in Jan ۱۹۹۳. Most of the records were destroyed due to time limit, Fournier said. Last time he treated Michael was in ۲۰۰۳, about ۶ yrs before his death. He treated MJ for about ۱۰ years. Fournier said he does not have all the records of his treatment to Michael Jackson, but has some. Fournier gave a deposition in this case. He provided the medical records he had pursuant to a subpoena. Fournier said he believes the standard is ۷ years before a physician destroys a patient's record. Some of the times I did not give him medication, just observed him, Fournier said. Fournier estimates he treated MJ ۳۰-۳۵ times, anesthesia perhaps ۲۵ times. Cahan showed a medical history form and anesthetic consent. Weight: ۱۳۰ lbs -- Date: ۱/۱۹/۲۰۰۰ Fournier said he always asks height and weight of patients and if he thinks the weight is off, he puts patient on scale. Michael had a number of aliases, Omar Arnold was one of them, Fournier said. MJ said he weighed ۱۳۰ lbs in January of ۲۰۰۰. Fournier said he probably accepted MJ's representation. Weight is a factor in anesthesia, Fournier said. It gives a very rough estimate where to start the dosage. Fournier: I think he weighed between ۱۳۰ and ۱۴۰ pounds during the ۱۰ years I treated him. Cahan: Did he have a good appetite? Fournier: Not really. I would ask him what he had to eat last and he would say lunch the day before One time Fournier said he asked why MJ was down to ۱۳۰ lbs. He said the singer told him he had been on tour, dancing. Cahan asked if it concerned him that MJ was ۱۳۰ lbs. Fournier: No, he's lean, muscular, in good shape, so no Fournier explained all the questions he asks the patient before giving anesthesia: medical history, medications, etc. The nurse said that if it's a regular patient, he would still take medical history, but it would be abbreviated. Fournier said he always took MJ's medical history prior to procedures. The nurse worked on MJ at the following procedures: scalp reduction for burn he suffered, abscessed tooth, root canal, extensive tattooing on his lips, eyes, brown area, Botox, collagen and filler injections Cahan: Do you frequently anesthetize patients receiving Botox or fillers? Fournier: No Fournier: Michael was special in that. Instead of ۵ or ۶ injections that people normally get, MJ would get ۵۰-۱۰۰. MJ got ۱۰۰s of injections around the eye, various parts of his face. It's more than average patients, needed to be sedated to tolerate pain. Fournier has been using Propofol since ۱۹۹۰. It's appropriate to use the drug mostly in operating room and/or controlled setting, he said. Equipment needed for Safe Administration of Propofol: Ambu bag and mask, Assorted airway equipment, Laryngoscope blade, Laryngeal mask, Endotracheal tube ready to go, Available source of oxygen, EKG, Capnograph, Ability to measure blood pressure, Pulse oximeter, IV access and IV fluids, Resuscitation Drugs, Continuos monitoring Fournier said to keep patient sedated you also need computerizing infusion. It's a more controlled way to administer drugs rather than drip. Depending on the dose, the patient can breath on his own, Fournier said. Fournier read the label of Diprivan (brand name for Propofol). He said monitoring the patient is a full time job. All the equipments needed are very expensive, Fournier said. He had about $۷۰,۰۰۰ invested in his operating room. "Every time we give anesthetic there's a potential for reaction," Fournier said. Propofol is not available in pill form and is not given as prescription to patients because it's an anesthetic, dangerous, Fournier said. If the drug is not in proper hands, administered with proper monitoring, it's dangerous, Fournier explained. Fournier said Propofol half life is ۲-۸ minutes. It metabolizes relatively quickly, patients wake up feeling well, there's anti-nausea in it The nurse said Propofol burns if not given correctly, can cause hypertension. Cahan said she counted ۱۴ different occasions where Fournier administered Propofol to MJ. He has record for ۲۰۰۰, ۲۰۰۲ and ۲۰۰۳ only. From ۱۹۹۳ to ۲۰۰۰, there are no medical records. He said he believes he gave MJ Propofol in ۲۰۰۱, but does not have records. He said he did not administer anesthetics after September ۲۰۰۳. Fournier said his incomplete medical records show he administered propofol to Jackson at least ۱۴ times between ۲۰۰۰ and ۲۰۰۳. He estimated he gave the singer the drug numerous other times over the years for a variety of cosmetic and dental procedures.He noted in his records that Jackson had a high tolerance for certain drugs, which Fournier said could be attributed to a variety of factors, including genetics. (AP) Medical record from ۴/۱۱/۰۲: Omar Arnold Weight: ۱۳۲ lbs Dr. Koplin Multiple collagen injections Additional drugs given -- Propofol ۱۴۰ mg Fournier: The street name (of Propofol) is "milk of amnesia." One time I remember he (MJ) referred to it as "milk." Fournier said MJ was very warm, likable guy and they became friends. He visited Neverland twice. MJ never told him he was using Propofol to help sleep. Fournier said he never used Propofol to treat a patient for insomnia. The nurse said he had trouble some times placing IV on Michael Jackson. He said at times he would have to change places. Fournier said it required multiple attempts some times to get an IV line in MJ. "I think the most I had to stick him was ۳ times," he said. Fournier explained that some times he would have to start IV on small veins on MJ on the top of his finger or surface of the arm. Medical record from ۵/۱۳/۲۰۰۳ -- weight ۱۳۵ lbs difficult IV place, difficult monitoring anesthesia, high tolerance of medication Fournier said sometimes he would go ۶ months without seeing MJ, so he explained the risks of anesthesia every time. Medical record of ۱۱/۱۴/۲۰۰۰ Weight: ۱۳۰ lbs Mentions Versed, ۵ mg Very high tolerance noted Vitals stable Versed is a benzodiazepine, same as Valium, Fournier explained. "He was taking a little bit more than I'd anticipate to keep him comfortable," Fournier said. Fournier's normal starting dose is ۱ mg of Versed. This was a dental procedure. The nurse cannot perform any procedure without a doctor present. Doctors MJ saw: - Dr. Arnold Klein (dermatologist) - Dr. Stephen Hoefflin (plastic surgery) - Dr. Allan Metzger (internist) - Dr. Lawrence Koplin (plastic surgery) - Dr. Edward "Lee" Baxley (dentist) - Dr. Leslie Levine (dentist) - Dr. Lee Bosley (hair restoration) - Dr. Gary Tearston (plastic reconstructive surgery) Fournier said it is not appropriate to give Propofol in a home setting. He would never allow a patient to dictate how to give anesthesia. MJ was very concerned about his privacy, Fournier said. He could not even go shopping without being disguised. "He loved people, but people could be overbearing sometimes," Fournier explained. Fournier said MJ would have procedures done in the evening, came in the back door, bodyguards used umbrella to shield the camera. MJ used aliases, before he left they looked outside to see if paparazzi were not there. Other aliases MJ used: Michael James, Jack James. "Procedures were done at night to protect his privacy and for his safety," Fournier said. Cahan: Was there a time you didn't think MJ was being truthful with you? Fournier: Towards the end of our working relationship, yes Medical records from ۶/۰۲/۲۰۰۳ Problems: Denies any medical or medication changes Three days ago slurred speech, heard on the phone Fournier said ۳ days before the procedure it was his birthday and MJ called to wish happy birthday. "His speech was slurred," the nurse said. Fournier testified Michael told him he was tired, or might've take something to sleep. "He was more than tired, he was slurring the words," Fournier said. "I assumed something was going on." Fournier said he quizzed MJ about the slurred speech, if he was using recreational drugs. He denied it, said he was not using anything. Medical record from ۶/۰۲/۰۳: Dr. Klein Multiple derm procedures Weight: ۱۴۰ lbs At some point MJ had an unusual reaction, Fournier said. Fournier: I controlled his ventilation ۴ couple of minutes, it happened again, I lightened him up, assisted one more time w/ his breathing. Fournier said Dr. Klein told him something during the procedure and that they spoke after about it. MJ did not tell Fournier about any recent changes in his medication, according to Fournier's chart. Cahan: Did you form an impression after this procedure whether MJ was being honest with you denying any change of medication? Fournier: My impression is that he had not been truthful Fournier: The last time I treated MJ, a few months after, he came to surgery center. He was a little goofy, a little slow to respond. Fournier: I asked if there were any changes in medication, he denied it, I didn't believe it, we canceled the procedure. "He was acting inappropriate," Fournier recalled. He said he believes the procedure was with Dr. Klein and another doctor to do facial work. Fournier said he felt uncomfortable. This was about ۳ months after the last procedure. Judge: Was Dr. Klein there? Fournier: Yes Judge: And he didn't stop the procedure? Fournier: Michael came in and I made the decision Michael Jackson had a high tolerance for certain drugs and wasn't always forthcoming with his medical history, a nurse anesthetist who treated the singer testified Thursday. Witness David Fournier told jurors he had worked with Jackson for a decade until the relationship ended in ۲۰۰۳, when Fournier refused to participate in a medical procedure.Jackson was acting "goofy" and was slow to respond to standard questions before a scheduled cosmetic surgery that was canceled after Fournier refused to administer an anesthetic, he said. The incident came a few months after Fournier said he had to help Jackson breath while undergoing another procedure and later determined that Jackson had not disclosed a new medical condition. "He wasn't honest with me," Fournier said without detailing the change in Jackson.At the time, Jackson had an implant in his abdomen to block the effects of Demerol and other opiate drugs. Fournier testified that he had given the singer a relatively large dose of a powerful anesthetic and needed to know how Jackson was going to react. (AP) After that, Fournier explained what happened to their relationship. Fournier: Despite ۱۰ years of quality of care, and taking good care of him, he (MJ) never called me back. Fournier: I felt this period here, in June (of ۲۰۰۳), he wasn't honest with me. Fournier said that post-operatively they want patients to go home with an adult to keep an eye on them for ۲۴ hours. "I told him to go home and instead of going home he went to rehearse," Fournier said. MJ sprained his ankle at rehearsal for Grammy Awards. Fournier said he tells patients after anesthesia to resume diet slowly, told MJ to go home, have crackers, soup. But he said he happened to drive by Kentucky Fried Chicken, saw MJ's limo parked. Fournier tapped at the window and saw MJ eating a bucket of chicken and some biscuits. "He was embarrassed," Fournier said. Fournier also testified that Jackson failed to follow his instructions in two instances after being sedated for procedures. Jackson went to a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant for a bucket of chicken instead of going home and eating crackers, he testified. Another time he went to a rehearsal for a Grammy show performance and sprained his ankle, he said.(CNN) Fournier said MJ became a patient in ۱۹۹۲-۹۳. He said in ۱۹۹۳ MJ announced he was addicted to prescription medication. Every time they met, Fournier said they talked about the medications he was taking. Cahan: Did you ever administer an opioid/painkiller in connection with a procedure? Fournier: Yes. Fentanyl, Demerol, Dilaudid They are controlled substances to relieve pain, Fournier said. MJ said he did not like Demerol one time, according to the nurse. Cahan: In the last times you treated MJ, did he ask you not to use Demerol? Fournier: Yes, he said he didn't like it, didn't want it Cahan: Did you ever have a conversation with Mr. Jackson where he said he had a procedure to block the effects of opioids? Fournier: No "My understanding is that the last time he had a problem (with Demerol) was in ۱۹۹۳, when he announced to the world," Fournier said. MJ never discussed Naltrexone with Fournier. Cahan: Do you know what Narcan implant is? Fournier: I do now, it was not FDA approved then Cahan: Did you have conversation with Mr. Jackson about Narcan implant? Fournier: Yes Fournier: Subsequent to the procedure, he said he have had one but it was out, that he was clean and didn't need one. This was late August/September in ۲۰۰۳, after the procedure MJ stopped breathing. Fournier said the discussion was probably pre-op call before a procedure. Fournier: I had become aware of Narcan implant had been used for his care so I asked him about that. The procedure moved forward next day, Fournier said. MJ did great. Fournier said he was sometimes paid for his work, but sometimes it took up to a year to receive payment for care to Michael Jackson. Fournier said he ran into MJ in ۲۰۰۵ at the waiting room of a doctor's office. Jackson cross Every instance where Jackson was given propofol was medically justified, Fournier said. The ۱۴ times he administered it between ۲۰۰۰ and ۲۰۰۳ involved plastic surgeries, dermatological procedures and oral surgeries, he said. He first sedated Jackson in ۱۹۹۳ when he was being treated for serious scalp burns suffered while filming a Pepsi commercial several years earlier, he said. Some of the ۲۵ times he was hired to assist with Jackson's procedures no drugs were given, he said. He would just hold his hand and assure him it would be all right.Jackson never asked for specific drugs and never quarreled with him, he said. All of the doctors who treated him were respected physicians, he said. Fournier's friendly relationship with Jackson ended in November ۲۰۰۳ when he canceled a procedure because Jackson was "a little goofy, a little slow to respond." Fournier said he refused to sedate Jackson because he suspected he was lying to him about his use of drugs. "Despite ۱۰ years of good quality care and taking good care of him for a long period of time, he never called me," he said. (CNN) Michael Koskoff did cross examination. He wanted to talk about the thing that really got you angry at MJ. "I wasn't angry," Fournier said. Koskoff recalled the day MJ called Fournier to wish him happy birthday. Fournier said he knew MJ had a problem sleeping. Koskoff asked if Fournier inquired 'Michael, has there been any change in medication since last time I saw you?' Fournier: Correct Koskoff: And MJ said there was no changes Fournier: Right Koskoff: Something happened at that point to make you believe Michael had misrepresented that he didn't change his medications? Fournier: I believe he denied all medications Koskoff asked if MJ did well in the procedure on ۵/۱۳/۰۳. "Other than difficult IV placement and high tolerance to medication, he did fine" Koskoff asked in April ۲۴, ۲۰۰۳ -- how did that procedure go? Fournier: No problem Koskoff: Did you believe he was lying to you? Fournier: The problem happened after that discussion June ۲, ۲۰۰۳ is the date MJ had an apnea episode. "Yes, I was upset about that," Fournier said. Koskoff: And it was because you thought MJ had misrepresented he didn't change his medications, correct? Fournier: Yes Koskoff: Would you be willing to apologize to Mrs. Jackson for saying her son was lying to you? Objection, sustained, irrelevant Koskoff: You have no knowledge whether the Narcan implant had anything to do with the reaction in June? Fournier: No Fournier said he never heard Narcan as an implant, had never seen one. "I was told by two of his physicians there was one," Fournier said. He spoke with doctors Klein and Metzger about it. Koskoff: If Dr. Farshchian said it was Naltrexone implant and he thought it was the same as Narcan, it would be a mistake, correct? Fournier: Correct. They are two different drugs. Dr. Klein told Fournier MJ had a Narcan implant, he went home, research it and could not find anything on it. "I know the effects of Narcan," Fournier said. It can cause cardiac arrest, tachycardia, defibrillation. Naloxene, which is Narcan -- Fournier has familiarity with it. Fournier is not used to Naltrexone, but said it's also an opioid inhibitor. Koskoff: Do you know the effects of Naltroxene in anesthesia? Fournier: It would have the same effect of this kinds of drugs, antagonist opioid effect and it's dose-dependent. Koskoff: In approximately ۱۰ year he never reported to you allergy to Demerol? Fournier: In the last year he did (after he started implant) Fournier: He never told me he was allergic to it (Demerol), he said he didn't like it. In the medical record, Fournier wrote allergy to Demerol. He said it was a code to himself to not give MJ that drug. Koskoff: Did you use any opiates in June ۲? Fournier: Yes, Remifentanil Koskoff: May, ۲۰۰۳ -- did you give him an opioid? Fournier: Remifentanil, high dose, developed tolerance Propofol -- ۲۴۰ mg Koskoff: If you assume he was implanted in April ۲۰۰۳, at this time (May) he had it on, right? Fournier: Correct Medical record from May ۱۳, ۲۰۰۳: Height: ۷۲ inches (۶ feet) Weight: ۱۴۰ lbs Allergy: Demerol Medications: Denied Koskoff asked if Fournier knows what caused the reaction on June ۲, ۲۰۰۳. "I have a suspicion of what causes it," Fournier said. "Very strong suspicion." Fournier has no prescription authority in California. Koskoff said about holding Michael's hand, if that was literal. Fournier: Yes, it's literal Fournier: the doctors appreciated someone monitoring MJ, he was very important, at the peak of his career, and Michael was paying me. "They were very happy to have me there to make sure Michael was safe," Fournier testified. Koskoff: You said you literally held his hand? Fournier: Yes, for painful injections, squeeze my hand if you feel pain Fournier agreed that Michael never chose the drugs he administered, never asked for more. Koskoff: You gave MJ Propofol and he never asked you for Propofol, correct? Fournier: Correct Koskoff: You called the shots? Fournier: Correct Koskoff: If someone say MJ had drug-seeking behavior, you didn't see it? Fournier: Correct All the doctors treating MJ were top notch physicians, Fournier said. Fournier about Dr. Klein and Botox: He was quick to tell me he was a pioneer and no one could do better than him. Fournier said he never felt MJ had anesthesia inappropriately and didn't feel like MJ was doctor shopping. Koskoff: Did he ever ask you to remain under anesthesia for longer than you thought was necessary? Fournier: No "He told me he didn't like it," Fournier said MJ told him about Demerol. Koskoff: Physically, during the time you treated him, did he look well? Fournier: Yes Fournier said MJ was very thin and frail in pictures he saw of the singer in ۲۰۰۹. Koskoff asked if MJ was the same as when Fournier treated him. "He was thinner," Fournier responded. Koskoff: Isn't it true a fit and competent doctor would not give Propofol at home? Fournier: Correct Fournier said he uses Demerol in a limited basis. It was popular in the '۷۰s. It's a drug used for pain, analgesic, opioid. "۱۲.۵ mg of Demerol is giving intravenously for shivering," Fournier said. The dose if from ۱۲.۵-۲۵ mg. Koskoff: You treated MJ over period of more than ۱۰ years Fournier: Correct Fournier said they had a good relationship and MJ was a good patient. But MJ did not followed post-operative recommendations. Koskoff asked if Fournier was more concerned that Dr. Klein didn't tell him. He said yes. Michael told Dr. Klein about it, Koskoff said. "You expect your clients and your doctors to be honest with you," Fournier explained. Fournier: I was angry at Dr. Klein, I was angry at Michael, I was angry at anyone who knew about it and didn't tell me. Koskoff: Are you still mad? Fournier: No, got over it Fournier, a certified nurse anesthetist, testified about an incident on June ۳, ۲۰۰۳ in which Jackson stopped breathing while under sedation for a procedure with Beverly Hills dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein. After Jackson suffered a "somewhat bizarre reaction" during the sedation, Klein told Fournier it might be because the singer had an "opioid antagonist" implant. It was intended to help treat a dependence on Demerol, he said."You expect your clients and doctors be honest with you and I felt ambushed and was upset," Fournier testified. The nurse said it made him angry at both Klein and Jackson. (CNN) Fournier said it's a small community (of anesthesiologists) and everyone talks to everybody about who they are treating. "Sometimes when it involved patient care, we talk to each other," Fournier said. Koskoff: If MJ was concerned that an anesthetist was talking about him having Narcan for drug addiction, would that be a valid concern? Fournier said he didn't understand the question, that he talked to other people treating MJ. Koskoff said there are ۲۰۰-۳۰۰ people in the anesthesia community. Fournier: If you're taking care of somebody and if someone else asks you, that's taking care of patient. It's not chattering. Fournier said it's usual for physicians to look at charts to see what kind of treatment was done before and the response he had. AEG recross Cahan, in re-direct, asked if ۳۰۰ mg of Demerol in single intramuscular is a lot. "That's a tremendous amount," Fournier responded. "If you gave it to me I would probably stop breathing," Fournier said. Fournier: Hiding information from person who's going to take care of you can lead to untoward event. Cahan asked Fournier to assume MJ, beginning in Nov ۲۰۰۲ to July ۲۰۰۳ placed ۵ Naltrexone implants. Cahan: Did MJ ever say he was on any medication whatsoever in April, May and June ۲۰۰۳? Fournier: All of those times Michael denied taking any medication. Cahan: So ۳ times in ۲۰۰۳ he did not disclose he had a Naltroxene implant? Fournier: Correct. "He was not telling me the truth," Fournier said. Fournier said that after he canceled the surgery, MJ never called him again on his birthday and never used his service anymore. Koskoff asked Fournier if he knows whether Dr. Farshchian told MJ the implant had medication in it. He said he doesn't know. So if MJ didn't say anything about the implant, it could be because he didn't know it was a medication, Koskoff asked. Fournier: I'm going to assume if he's having a surgical procedure to implant something he would know what that is for. Dr. Klein apologized afterwards for not telling Fournier about the implant. "Some burn patients get hundreds of anesthesia," Fournier said, and Michael was a burn patient. "I knew he was in the hospital in ۱۹۹۴ after the burn, yes," Fournier said. During cross-examination, Fournier said Jackson never requested any specific drugs, including propofol, during procedures or asked to be sedated for longer than was necessary. He said the singer didn't exhibit any drug-seeking behavior or signs that he was doctor-shopping. Fournier said he knew that Jackson had received an above-average number of anesthetic treatments over his lifetime, and many were related to procedures needed after Jackson was badly burned in a shoot for a Pepsi commercial in ۱۹۸۴. Fournier said it was not common to administer an anesthetic during cosmetic procedures, but the ones done on Jackson were complex and involved dozens of injections. Some of the procedures were near Jackson's eye and sedation was necessary to keep him still, Fournier said. Fournier also said he never had any indication that the singer was using propofol as a treatment for insomnia. (AP) Partial Medical record David Fournier, a nurse anesthetist, treated Jackson between ۱۹۹۳ and ۲۰۰۳. He has record for ۲۰۰۰, ۲۰۰۲ and ۲۰۰۳ only. From ۱۹۹۳ to ۲۰۰۰, there are no medical records. He said he believes he gave MJ Propofol in ۲۰۰۱, but does not have records. He said he did not administer anesthetics after September ۲۰۰۳. Fournier said his incomplete medical records show he administered propofol to Jackson at least ۱۴ times between ۲۰۰۰ and ۲۰۰۳. He estimated he gave the singer the drug numerous other times over the years for a variety of cosmetic and dental procedures.

(این برآورد جای سوال دارد چرا که می‌دانیم مایکل جکسون بیش از یک سوم ثروت خود را که برابر با سیصد میلیون دلار میشده است در زمان حیاتش به کارهای خیریه اختصاص داده بود. / eMJey) ایندپندنت می‌گوید که بنیاد مایکل جکسون از زمان فوت وی در ژوئن سال ۲۰۰۹، ششصد میلیون دلار درآمد داشته است که این بالاتر از درآمد هر هنرمند زنده یا فوت شده‌ی دیگری است. بخش عمده‌ی این درآمد نه رقمی، ناشی از فروش بلیطهای تور ایمورتال مایکل و مستند موزیکال This Is It است که پرفروش‌ترین مستند تاریخ به شمار می‌آید. مایکل جکسون همچنین پرفروش‌ترین هنرمند در فروشگاه آنلاین آیتونز است و از زمان فوت‌اش پنجاه میلیون نسخه آلبوم در آن به فروش رسانده است.مایکل جکسون ابرستاره‌ی بزرگ دهه‌ی هشتاد بود. زک اومالی از فوربس می‌گوید: "مایکل جکسون همیشه به مانند دهه‌ی هشتاد خرج می‌کرد. او تا ابتدای دهه‌ی نود سالیانه ۵۰، ۶۰، ۸۰ و حتی بیش از ۱۰۰ میلیون دلار درآمد داشت. اما پس از نخستین اتهام جنسی علیه او در سال ۱۹۹۳، رادیواکتیو شد (= دیگران از او اجتناب می‌کردند)، دیگر در آمریکا تور برگزار نکرد. شرکت‌ها او را از پیام‌های بازرگانی خود حذف کردند و هزینه‌ی نگهداری از نورلند بسیار بالا گرفت." مایکل جکسون سه بار تور جهانی برگزار کرد، تور «بد» در اواخر دهه‌ی هشتاد و تورهای «دنجروس» و «هیستوری» در ابتدا و انتهای دهه‌ی نود. گفته شده است که مایکل با جیب خالی از تور بد بازگشت زیرا درآمدش از اجرای کنسرت در هر شهر را در همان شهر به حساب بیمارستان‌ها و خیریه‌ها واریز می‌کرد. درآمد تور دنجروس نیز به طور کامل صرف بنیاد خیریه‌ی او و سایر خیریه‌ها شد. او همچنین در تور هیستوری این رویه را ترک نکرده بود. پل گانگ ور، یکی از مدیران صنعت و همکاران مایکل که با وی کار کرده بود می‌گوید او برای پول، تور برگزار نمی‌کرد. اما اکنون تور ایمورتال که بدون حضور وی بر روی صحنه به دور دنیا سفر می‌کند، بسیار درآمدزا و حتی پرفروش‌ترین شده است. مایکل جکسون پس از مرگ در حدود چهارصد میلیون دلار بدهی داشت که سال گذشته، سه سال پس از مرگ‌اش، توسط بنیاد تصفیه شد. او در زمان حیات برای پرداخت بدهی‌هایش، از بانک‌ها وام می‌گرفت. بخش بیشتر این بدهی ناشی از تلاش او برای خرید حق انتشار آهنگ‌های دیگر خوانندگان و گسترده کردن کمپانی سونی/ای‌تی‌وی است که آن را در دهه‌ی هشتاد با یک سرمایه‌ی ۴۷.۵ میلیون دلاری آغاز کرد و یک غول یک میلیارد دلاری از آن ساخت. این کمپانی که بطور ۵۰-۵۰ در تملک مایکل و کمپانی سونی قرار داشت، اکنون بزرگترین کمپانی حق نشر دنیاست و همچنان نصف آن در اختیار بنیاد مایکل قرار دارد که سهم سه فرزند او خواهد شد. البته ۲۰٪ کل ثروت مایکل پس از مرگ به خیریه‌ها تعلق می‌گیرد. کاترین جکسون، مادر مایکل تا زمان حیات از ثروت او استفاده می‌کند اما پس از مرگ وی، تنها وراث مایکل سه فرزندش خواهند بود که تا ۳۱ سالی اجازه‌ی دخالت در امور بنیاد را نخواهند داشت. آنها همچنین از ۲۱ سالگی تا ۳۱ سالگی طبق وصیت مایکل تحت حمایت مالی قرار نمی‌گیرند تا بتوانند زندگی مستقل خود را شکوفا کنند. علاوه بر این، اقلام و یادگاری‌هایی از پدرشان در پنج انبار مختلف نگاهداری میشود که فرزندان مایکل حق فروش‌شان را پس از رسیدن به سن قانونی دارا خواهند بود. این اقلام شامل وسایلی هستند که پدرشان طی زندگی‌اش جمع آوری کرده بود، از جمله کلکسیون اتومبیل‌ها، عتیقه‌جات و دستگاه‌های بازی. همچنین لباس‌های فاخر و دستکش‌های پر زرق و برق او را نباید از یاد برد که بنیاد برای برپا کردن موزه‌ای از مایکل، شاید در نورلند، انبار کرده است. به این مجموعه باید کلکسیون طراحی‌ها و نقاشی‌های مایکل جکسون را اضافه کرد که به تنهایی یک میلیارد دلار قیمت گذاری شده‌اند. منبع: eMJey.com / independent

Jacksons vs AEG - Day ۵۵ - July ۲۴ ۲۰۱۳ - Summary Katherine and Trent Jackson are at court. John Meglen Testimony Jackson Cross AEG Live executive John Meglen is back on the stand. He's being cross examined by plaintiff's lawyer Brian Panish. There were some testy exchanges between Meglen and Panish. The lawyer went back over a lot of Meglen's testimony from yesterday. There were lots of objections. The judge also had to tell Meglen to give yes or no answers, and told Panish not to argue with the witness. The session actually ended when the judge called a sidebar right before the lunch break. (AP) Panish asked Meglen about his testimony yesterday on the reported ۹۷k attendance figure for a U۲ concert at the Rose Bowl. Meglen said yesterday he didn't believe the figure as it was reported by Billboard magazine. Panish asked him for any evidence to dispute it The executive said he didn't have evidence to dispute the ۹۷k attendance figure, but made clear he doesn't believe it. (AP) The Rose Bowl would only seat ۶۰,۰۰۰, Meglin said. Although Billboard Magazine reported that U۲ performed for ۹۷,۰۰۰ people in the Pasadena, California, venue in ۲۰۰۹, Meglin said he was "trusting my gut" that the numbers were inflated. "I know how those numbers can be manipulated," he said.Jackson lead lawyer Brian Panish noted that ۹۸,۰۰۰ people were in the Rose Bowl seats when Michael Jacksonperformed the halftime show for Super Bowl ۲۷ in ۱۹۹۳. (CNN) Panish showed the Rose Bowl chart defendants created and asked what's the maximum seating capacity in the Rose Bowl? Meglen: There are many factors that go into that "I believe the seating capacity for a football game is ۱۰۰,۰۰۰," Meglen said. Panish: For a music concert? Meglen: You'll need to tell me the size of the production in order to tell you (ABC۷) Meglen: U۲ Concert was called ۳۶۰, so I'm assuming it sold ۳۶۰ degrees. Meglen said he was at the Rose Bowl but didn't watch the U۲ concert. Panish asked if ۹۷,۰۰۰ people sounds right. Meglen: No, I'm not aware of that because I was not involved in the show Panish asked if Meglen was saying the Rose Bowl can't fit ۹۷,۰۰۰. "I'm not trying to tell you that, it depends on the size of the production. Michael was a stage end production," Meglen opined. Meglen: If you have a center stage, ۳۶۰ in the round with a small stage in the middle, you could probably get ۹۷,۰۰۰, yes. Panish asked if Billboard Magazine was wrong about U۲ having ۹۷K people. "I told you I do not believe the numbers on Billboard" Meglen said. Panish showed picture of U۲ concert at the Rose Bowl. Meglen said the floor is not completely filled up. Panish asked how many seats are in the Rose Bowl. Meglen said the stadium is around ۱۰۰,۰۰۰ people. (ABC۷) Panish: You told us yesterday you spoke with the promoters of U۲. Who did you speak with? Meglen: Jerry Barae -- he's in Chicago (ABC۷) Meglen: I never disputed what U۲ sold at Rose Bowl. I cannot tell you how much are paid tickets, how much are what we call 'paper ticket' VooDoo Lounge, ۱۸۰-۲۰۰ degrees, you can sell ۶۰,۰۰۰ seats, Meglen said. Panish asked if Meglen spoke with someone promoting the U۲ concert at the Rose Bowl and that there were only ۶۰,۰۰۰ people there. Meglen said that was not true. (ABC۷) Panish: If you testified to that it is a lie, then? Meglen: I don't believe that's what I testified to "I said that I don't believe it," Meglen said, "and I still believe that's not true. My answer said it is not true they had ۹۷,۰۰۰." Meglen: When I talk about ticket sales, we talk about paid tickets. We don't really care about people who don't pay tickets. "No one from U۲'s group told me that ۹۷,۰۰۰ people did not attend the Rose Bowl," Meglen said. Meglen explained he based his opinion on his experience promoting and producing stadium shows for ۳۵ years. (ABC۷) He said he doesn't believe the ۹۷k figure was for paid attendance, which is what matters to him and what he was referring to. Panish showed Meglen a photo from the U۲ show. Fans were packed in the stands and hundreds were on the field. Meglen pointed out that the U۲ show had a ۳۶۰-degree stage that allowed them to sell tickets throughout the entire Rose Bowl. He said Michael Jackson's stage for the "This Is It" show was different, an "end stage" setup that wouldn't allow as many concertgoers. Meglen conceded that you could probably fit ۹۷k people in the Rose Bowl with the right stage, but they might not have all bought tickets. (AP) Meglen smiled at Panish. Panish: Is it funny Mr. Meglen? Judge: Mr. Panish, don't argue -- she shook her head (ABC۷) Meglen said he's been working with Gongaware for ۳۵ years. Panish asked if Meglen agrees with Gongaware that the sale of MJ's tickets was the fastest ever in the industry. Meglen: I don't think I agree with that statement, but I think that's what Paul thought. Panish: Do you agree or disagree this is the most amazing ticket sales Mr. Gongaware has ever seen? Meglen: I agree that's the most that Paul had seen (ABC۷) Meglen said he has done tours for ۳۵ years, probably hundreds of tours.(ABC۷) The lawyer asked about Paul Gongaware's contention that he had never seen anything like the "This Is It" ticket demand. Panish wanted to know why Meglen didn't agree with Gongaware's characterization of the "This Is It" ticket sales. Meglen: "Paul and I have worked on different projects in our lives." He said he couldn't give the lawyer a simple yes or no answer. Panish asked whether Meglen was denying that Jackson had "huge ticket drawing power." Meglen responded, "Not at all." (AP) Panish: Do you agree with Randy Phillips, the CEO of AEG, believe Mr. Jackson had an obligation to attend rehearsal? Meglen: I don't know the context of which this question was asked. You are asking me to opine on what Randy was thinking. Meglen: I don't know if Michael had a contractual obligation. "Randy may have felt Michael was obligated, but don't know it was contractually obligated," Meglen said. Meglen: I agree that an artist should go to some of the rehearsals, yes (ABC۷) Panish asked Meglen a bit about the AEG corporate structure. Meglen reports to the CEO of AEG Inc., he said. Panish again asked Meglen about his contention from yesterday that there were bigger stars than Michael Jackson. Panish's questioning focused on AEG execs Paul Gongaware and Randy Phillips saying there was no one bigger than Jackson. The lawyer then asked Meglen whether he agreed with AEG Live CEO that Michael Jackson was bigger than Celine Dion. Meglen works directly with Dion and her tours in North America. It took him a few tries before he answered the question. He said he doesn't believe that Phillips' statement is true, but it was a personal opinion. "To me, she's bigger," Meglen said. (AP) Panish: Do you agree with Randy Phillips that MJ was a bigger artist than Celine Dion, yes or no? Meglen: I do, myself, personally believe that that is not true "In my opinion Celine is right up there with Michael Jackson and is bigger," Meglen said. (ABC۷) Meglen and Panish went back-and-forth for several minutes over when AEG's negotiations began with Jackson in ۲۰۰۸. Meglen didn't remember the time frame, so Panish played his deposition in which he said the negotiations started in Fall of ۲۰۰۸. Panish then asked whether Meglen was personally involved in the negotiations. He said he wasn't at the negotiating table. It took a long time and several questions to establish that Meglen was briefed about negotiations during meetings with other AEG Live execs. Meglen didn't review the actual contracts for the "This Is It" shows, but said he had input on ticket prices, other issues. (AP) Panish played Meglen's deposition, where he was asked when he recalled the negotiations with MJ started. Meglen said Summer or Fall ۲۰۰۸. Panish: Is that the truth or not, sir? Or you don't know the truth? Meglen: It's the truth, but I'm not good with dates, need to look at my calendar. (ABC۷) Meglen said he was not at the table during the negotiation, he would be at the office doing his work. Meglen: I was not personally involved, face to face, with MJ's people Meglen said that the negotiation is not only the contract, but various internal conversations about the tour. "As CEO of Concerts West, it's my job to review any negotiations people are having regarding tour," Meglen said. Meglen explained he was involved in the internal discussions, in conversations with Gongaware and Phillips. He never reviewed the contract as was being drafted, Meglen said. (ABC۷) Meglen said he was not involved in "This Is It" movie. Panish said he was credited as co-producer of the movie. Meglen said he was a co-producer of the show not the movie. Meglen explained Gongaware has not been involved in Celine Dion's tour, but they give each other credit. (ABC۷) The exec said he gave input in ticket prices, scaling and places to have the show. Panish played video deposition, where Meglen said he doesn't recall if he was involved in the forecast for MJ tour. Timm Wooley is friends of Meglen. They haven't discussed the trial. The last time they saw each other was in London for Rolling Stones show. Wooley doesn't work for AEG, but to Rolling Stones now. Hougdahl "Bugzee" is working for Shania Twain. Panish showed an email from Gongaware about MJ first draft of worldwide tour projection. It lists "net to Mikey $۱۳۲ million." Email: It's a big number, but this is not a number MJ will want to hear. He thinks he is so much bigger than that. If we use show income, it's over a quarter of a billion dollars. His net share works out to be ۵۰% after local venue and advertising costs, which is quite good. His gross will approach $ half a billion. Maybe gross is a better number to throw around, if we need to use numbers with Mikey listening. Panish: Isn't Paul Gongaware suggesting to lie to Michael Jackson? Meglen: No he is not (ABC۷) Panish asked Meglen is he knows Dr. Finkelstein. He said he asked which tour he was in with Michael Jackson. Meglen said he saw Dr. Finkelstein at the Coachella festival. He got tickets from AEG. (ABC۷) Meglen spoke with Gongaware about previous MJ's tour. He knows that Michael canceled a tour because MJ entered rehab. (ABc۷) After a brief break, Panish showed Meglen the AEG projections for a worldwide tour for Jackson that were displayed last week. Panish went through the list, showing that AEG had plotted out potential shows in Europe, South Africa and other locations. The lawyer pointed to several shows planned for India and his contention that big artists didn't perform in India. Panish then rattled off several acts who peformed in India: Beyonce, Akon, Shakira, ۵۰ Cent. Meglen didn't dispute they performed there. "It's not a very big market, that I do know," Meglen said of the India concert scene. A dispute over India's population ensued. Panish at one point said that there were billions of people in Mumbai alone, prompting several attorneys and the judge to chime in. Panish conceded the billions of people in Mumbai remark wasn't right and moved on to other topics. (AP) Panish showed email Gongaware sent with the attachment of the worldwide MJ tour and cc'd to Meglen. It lists cities, the amount of shows and weeks in Europe, South Africa, Asia (and Middle East), India and US. Panish: You told us yesterday no one goes to India Meglen: Not that many do. Again, I told you very few people, no one as in few people Meglen said he thinks MJ did one or two shows in India. Panish: Is Beyonce no one? Meglen: No, she's a very popular Panish: Do you know she went to India? Meglen: I have not idea Panish also named Shakira, Akon, ۵۰ Cent that went to India. The email projection shows ۳ shows in India plus one private for MJ. (ABC۷) He next asked Meglen about Phillips' contention in an email that Jackson could have sold out ۲۰۰ shows in London. Meglen said he didn't agree and that he didn't believe that Jackson could have done ۲۰۰ shows in London. Asked if Phillips' statement in the email was a false one, Meglen said yes. He added that no one in the business has a "crystal ball." He said Phillips may have believed that was true, but he didn't believe Jackson could have done ۲۰۰ shows in London. Panish asked some questions about how many tickets people could buy for the "This Is It" shows. Meglen said he didn't know. Meglen and Panish went back-and-forth about it for a few questions, then the judge called a sidebar. (AP) Meglin also disagreed with what one of his superiors, AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips, wrote in an e-mail that there was enough demand in England alone to sell out more that ۲۰۰ Jackson shows. "He believed that," Meglin testified. "I don't believe that." (CNN) Meglen said he does not believe MJ could sell ۲۰۰ shows in London. Panish said Randy Phillips said that. "My opinion is no, that he he could not have done ۲۰۰ shows in London," Meglen testified. Panish showed an email from Phillips saying "We could have done ۲۰۰+ shows based on demand." Meglen said he does not believe that is true. "He believed that, I don't believe that." "No one has a crystal ball in our business," Meglen said. "He could've done ۲۰۰ shows is purely speculation on his behalf." Panish asked if Phillips was more hands on than he was in "This Is It" tour. He said yes. "I don't know if I agree there were ۵۲۵,۰۰۰ people in the queue," Meglan opined. "Everybody exaggerates, and when something is hot everyone wants to take it to the moon," Meglen said. Panish asked Meglen to assume Randy Phillips told the truth. "I know it's a big assumption," Panish said. Defendants' attorney objected, judge sustained it and asked to go to sidebar to talk to attorneys. Attorneys went to judge's chamber and talked for about ۱۰ minutes. They came back and judge broke session for lunch. (ABC۷) Panish corrected himself about number of people living in India. Earlier he said several billion people live there, but should be millions. "I understand you are mistaken," Meglen said. "It doesn't mean you are a liar." Panish said he would not respond to Meglen's comment. (ABC۷) Regarding India, Meglen explained: "I don't think it's a small market, I think it's an under developed market." Meglen said he knows that Michael played in India, heard from Panish that Beyonce went to India. (ABC۷) Panish: When you testified yesterday, you didn't know anyone that had gone to India, correct? Meglen: No, that's not correct (ABC۷) Panish: Are there a lot of stadiums in the world that hold more than ۶۰,۰۰۰? Meglen: Yes, there are a lot of soccer stadiums in the world Panish: In Australia? Meglen: Yes (ABC۷) Meglen said he does not recall how many times MJ sold out in London.(ABC۷) Leonard Cohen -- AEG promoted and produced worldwide tour, Meglen said. Panish: Did you hire a doctor for Leonard Cohen? Meglen: We do not hire doctors (ABC۷) Panish asked if Meglen has had experience where the CEO is involved in doing an intervention with an artist. Meglen said he's aware of it happening before in the early ۸۰s, not at AEG. He was involved minimally in the intervention. (ABC۷) Meglen said he has not had emails from show managers at AEG saying the artist was deteriorating. "I've had situation where the production manager had emails about the artist's behavior," Meglen testified. "I've had situations where artists had been sick before, yes," Meglen said. Panish: Have you ever called the doctor for ۳۰ minutes to discuss the artist's condition? Meglen: No (ABC۷) Panish asked if Meglen had ever seen an email saying AEG wanted to remind the doctor they are paying the bill. The exec said no. (ABC۷) Meglen: I'm aware of us checking people out. "We don't hire doctors, if the artist wants his doctor there, the way we check that out we go to the artist," Meglen said. "If I'm asking the artist if that's his doctor, that's throughly checking him out," Meglen explained. (ABc۷) Meglen: I asked MJ if he was performing this and he told me he did not want to do (a residency show in Las Vegas). "I think MJ would have to do over ۲.۵ shows a week or you couldn't have such a deal," Meglen said. (ABC۷) AEG redirect In re-direct, Jessica Bina asked about the proposal for the Las Vegas show in ۲۰۱۰ with MJ's Estate. "There are numbers for per week, per year for the first ۵ performance years, then next ۵ performance years," Meglen explained. Meglen said he became aware Cirque du Soleil was anxious to get a deal done with the Estate to have a MJ show. Meglen said his argument was that there was something better to do. (ABC۷) Meglen: We don't have a crystal ball (on whether show would be successful or not). (ABC۷) Bina asked if artist is in the middle of stadium w/ microphone if there are reasons the show couldn't be filled to capacity. Meglan said no. Bina: But does it happen very often? Meglen: No. Meglen: Artist has to be comfortable with all around stage, production becomes very challenging and incredibly expensive as well as sales. "This Is It" was not set to be a ۳۶۰ degree show, Meglen said. He noted it was quite the opposite. MJ's production was $۲۶-$۲۷ million. Meglen said for TII to become ۳۶۰ degree tour, there would be cost associated with it. "Pretty much, it would have to be a new production." Meglen explained ۱۸۰-۲۴۰ degrees in front of the stage is the standard in the business. Meglen said if he could sell more tickets for TII he would have. "It's nothing but profit at that point." The executive said there was never a conversation about making TII show ۳۶۰ degree. (ABC۷) Meglen said again he doesn't agree with Phillips' opinion that there were ۲۰۰+ more shows to be done in London. Meglen said putting ۱۳ million tickets on sale was not on his mind. He expected the London shows to do well. The executive said when MJ said "This is It" people thought that was it. But if he went to other cities, this was not it after all. Meglen said that at the time MJ died there were only ۵۰ shows agreed upon between MJ and AEG. Meglen said that for lower ticket price TII was a great sale. (ABC۷) Jackson recross Panish: Were Paul Gongaware and Randy Phillips more involved in TII than you? Meglen: Yes (ABC۷) The executive said he never told Gongaware and Phillips the projection was bad, only that he thought it was a long ways to get to the end. (ABC۷) AEG redirect Meglen said Beatles' "Love" and Cirque du Soleil "O" are two of the most successful conceptional shows. (ABC۷) Bina showed Gongaware's email again: Here's the first-draft look at a worldwide tour... you can't pin this down now... too many variables. (ABC۷) Meglen said it's not possible to see the Beatles anymore, since some members are dead. Meglen: If Michael was still alive and touring, I would not be interested in doing a MJ conceptional show. (ABC۷) Jackson recross Panish asked if MJ wanted to go worldwide, AEG would've been able to make that happen. Meglen said he could've set up the arrangements. "I cannot tell you how many more Michael Jackson tours he could've done it, it's pure speculation," Meglen said. Panish: Did you know MJ told his children they would go on a world tour? Meglen: I have no idea (ABC۷) Meglen was excused. Dr. Alimorad Farshchian Video Deposition Deposition was in August ۲۰۱۲. Marvin Putnam did the questioning. Dr. Farshchian went to Rutger's University, graduated in ۱۹۸۳ with pre-med. He went to medical school in Saint Lucia in ۱۹۸۷. After that he did cardiac research at SUNY in Brooklyn. He did that for ۳-۴ years. He then did residency in internal medicine and family medicine, went to private practice. Dr. Farshchian is not board certified. Center for Regenerative Medicine is his practice in Florida. He's the medical director. (ABC۷) Dr. Farshchian treated MJ in April ۲۰۰۱ and stopped in ۲۰۰۳. 'I was one of his doctors," he said. Dr. Farshchian said MJ was having an issue with his ankle, he was supposed to performed at Madison Square Garden, had to rehearse. Dr. Farshchian: And he had an ankle issue that was more like a sprained ankle that was not healing and he had to continue to dance on it. "He made an appointment like everybody else," Dr. Farshchian said. (ABC۷) Putnam asked if MJ wanted to get off drugs, if that happened at the hotel in a second meeting with the doctor. He said yes. Putnam: Do you remember the first time he told you he wanted to clean himself up from drugs? "He was trying to get off Demerol," Dr. Farshchian said. MJ told him he had a problem with the drug. Dr. Farshchian said MJ's main concern was his kids, always his kids, I'd do for my kids, and to spend more time with his kids. (ABC۷) At that time, Dr. Farshchian said he wasn't following MJ on the media. At that point, to me he was just a regular patient. Dr Farshchian: When I got to know him I visited him at the hotel, read a little about him on the internet, then realized was ongoing problem (ABc۷) Putnam: Did MJ tell you he was addicted to Demerol? Dr. Farshchian: Not in certain words Putnam: Did he seek treatment with you? Dr. Farshchian: Eventually (ABC۷) Dr. Farshchian: To treat Michael for that problem, I thought that because he travelled quite a bit he needed something to be on him. I chose Naltrexone, Dr. Fashchian testified. The drug inhibits the effects of the narcotics, if you take it it stops giving you the euphoria. Dr. Farshchian said he implanted more than one patch of the drug in MJ. It normally lasts ۶۰-۹۰ days in the body. MJ had patch implanted ۵ times. Dr. Farshchian said in training in family medicine, he learned about psychiatry and drug dependency. Dr. Farshchian: The implant, back then it was more popular, not doing as much anymore. The doctor said carrying an implant in you, you carry a risk of infection. That could be a reason they don't do it that much. Dr. Farshchian said MJ's skin would have allergy from the patch, he wouldn't be very comfortable with it. Dr. Farshchian: It's usually placed in the abdomen lower than belly button, right or left side, and removed after ۹۰ days. (ABC۷) Medical record timeline (ABC۷) ۲۱ Jul ۰۲ -- sent more information about Buprenex, since did not get any respond (sic) from him and attempt to intervene. Jackson had some sort of infection on his leg, he was going to Germany at the time, so Dr Farshchian went with him for treatment of his condition ۲۰ Oct ۰۲ -- patient states he need some help him with his addiction problem. He does not wish to go to an outpatient rehab facility despite the pressure from family. Discussed with him option of Naltrexone. Dr. Farshchian said Jackson was adamant about not going to rehab facility. He was concerned about his privacy and paparazzi. ۰۴ Nov ۰۲ -- Jackson's weight was ۱۲۸ -- pre-procedure, cut the skin, insert implant chip of Naltrexone. Dr. Farshchian used local anesthesia with lidocaine ۱%, done as outpatient in doctor's office in Miami. ۰۶ Nov ۰۲ -- phone call, states he's doing well tolerating minimum agitation, little insomnia Dr. Farshchian said it was a ۱۰ hour production to go from Neverland to Miami. Jackson said he was going to see a psychologist. "Jackson was very private with everything," Dr. Farshchian said. At the time, he was complaining of insomnia. He was seeing a herbologist for it. Dr. Farshchian said Jackson always had trouble sleeping. "To me his insomnia was caused, possibly, you have this area inside the nose...called turbinates, if you reduced it's called empty nose syndrome, to me that was the cause of that. Putnam asked if parts of Jackson's nose were missing? Dr. Farshchian's response, " Portions of his nose were taken out. (Jurors heard from Farschian that Jackson suffered from insomnia years earlier. The doctor's theory is that it was linked to cosmetic surgery: a key part of Jacksons nose was missing. "It is possible that you produce what they call empty nose syndrome and producing insomnia," said Farschian.) Two days later, Jackson reported good nights." ۲۶ Nov ۰۲ -- ankle wound is better, but he had taken the implant out by a physician at home, wishes to do another implant Dr. Farshchian said Michael had a local doctor who didn't know what the patch was and removed it. Jackson would itch it, had some skin rash. Michael really wanted to do this, he came back to get the procedure done, Dr. Farshchian said. ۲۶ Nov ۰۲ -- second procedure of Naltrexone ۲۷ Nov ۰۲ -- no nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Abdomen implant well placed Naltrexone implant: continue current treatment, patient sober x ۲۰ days ۲۹ Nov ۰۲ -- feels very good, sleeping well. No sign of opiate withdrawal. Dr. Farshchian: My practice is completely orthopedic regeneration. He said he treats arthritis and orthopedic conditions. ۰۲ Dec ۰۲ -- feels very good, sleeping well Patient sober, now going over the ۱۲ steps with him Dr. Farshchian: Each of the steps is somewhat connected of asking God to help you get strength to battle addiction. There was a period of time Jackson stayed with Dr. Farshchian, he stayed over two times, the children one time. The doctor lives in North Miami Beach, Bay Harbor Island. Grace Rwamba might've stayed at the house as well. Dr. Farshchian said he converted his garage into a bedroom for Jackson. He never treated Jackson at the house. ۰۴ Dec ۰۲ -- Narcan implant at its place Exercised the ۱۲ steps with him ۲۰ Jan ۰۳ -- patient returns for another implant, been sober for more than ۲ months, states been following the ۱۲ step program Weight: ۱۳۵ lbs ۰۳ Apr ۰۳ -- patient returns for another implant, sober for almost ۶ months following ۱۲ step program at least once a week with private social worker ۰۲ Jul ۰۳ -- patient returned for another implant, sober for almost ۹ months, good with ۱۲ step program Patient can follow up with local physician at this point. Dr. Farshchian said he thought it was enough, the treatment was done. (About the plaintiffs claim that Jackson was emaciated, the autopsy recorded he was ۱۳۶ pounds when he died. Farschian testified that Jackson weighed ۱۲۸ when he treated him.) The next time Dr. Farshchian saw Michael was the weekend after he was arrested. Putnam: How was he doing? Dr. Farshchian: Not too good Putnam: Was he using drugs again? Dr. Farshchian: No (ABC۷) Dr. Farshchian: There was an attempt intervention by the family but MJ was very difficult to get to, bodyguard, so it may not have happened. Putnam asked if the intervention was in the Spring of ۲۰۰۲. Dr. Farshchian said it might've been after or before, not sure. (ABC۷) Dr. Farshchian is not aware of MJ doing any other outpatient treatment. (ABC۷) Dr. Farshchian said when MJ's third child, Blanket, was just born, there was 'a monkey on his back', he didn't want to do it anymore. "Monkey on his back" was Demerol use, Dr. Farshchian said.
