Dude, I hope you are being sarcastic about looking healthy. He weighed 112 pounds when he died.
Looks like an alien skeleton if you ask me.
he was always skinny
he passed the physical for insurance

If MJ had a clean bill of health..why was a Cardiologist hanging out with him?
Wasn't that his personal doctor?

his own doctor for the tour in which he paid $150,000 a month!
Healthy people don't drop 150k a month for a doctor.
That is ludicrous.
In about 2 months, that doctor made more than a cardiologist in practice does in an entire year, not to mention the shitty work ours, on call duty, etc etc.
There is a new show on USA called Royal Pains about a guy in The Hamptons who is what they call a "Consierge Doctor". He gets paid to go to people's house and treat them, discretely. He gets paid whtever they feel their privacy is worth...
Those are the guys who end up in jail for prescribing pain meds, benzo's, muscle relaxers, etc etc.
Rumor has it that he has 200 unreleased songs and that the final rehearsal is being made into a video. His posthumous life will certainly be surprising.
He was addicted to plastic surgery. I'm not surprised he had a doctor on retainer.

Not sure it is rumor anymore, it was on MSNBC and CNN today.
The personal physician was from Acres Homes Cardiology here in Houston. Acres Homes is like South Central LA of Houston. Not to say he was a hack, but if I was the King of Pop, I would not go with Compton Cardiology.

You think?! [laugh]
The doctor made $300K in two months. 150,000/mo. x 12 = 1.8 Mil/yr.
Cardiologists with a practice can make anywhere from $1-2 Mil/yr.
Making that kind of money to go to London and only deal with one patient?!
I'd leave my practice behind too until the tour was done!

No way.
How many docs?
Nice find but I have to disagree w/ you on his health. He definitely looks too skinny. Still can't believe he's gone. That doctor was trying to make some easy money.

My friend just finshed his surgical residency. First job out of the chute..$600K/yr. Yes, cardilologists and many other specialists make that kind of money.
Overlooked in the "glamor" of being a doctor earning 6 figures: Malpractice insurance premiums. [roll]
