He's saying Michael WASN'T anesthetized when he walked away, that the effects of the propofol he gave him had worn off by the time he left him.
He still
left the room with everything going on. He was still using it in a medically unsafe environment, whether or not it had "worn off" - it should have been secured. And I just don't believe it. Granted, propofol has a very quick turnaround, but with the exhaustion Michael was dealing with, and the fact he was using it much more heavily than anyone else and that he had likely gone nearly three months without REM because of it - he should not have left him like that. I still believe Murray was the one who did it but it doesn't matter - he was still responsible. He was the medically trained "professional," not Michael. That's why he was hired.
To be honest, no one is ever going to know exactly what happened. There were only two people in the room when the worst parts happened - and one of them can't speak for himself anymore.
I agree there are many holes in the case but the fact Murray keeps avoiding is that no matter what, no matter how it was twisted,
he was medically irresponsible in every sense of the word. The propofol shouldn't have been in the room PERIOD. From start to finish. Not just June 25. He knew what he was doing was wrong - and refuses to admit it.
Like I said, when he answers that, and takes responsibility for his actions, and it's not some lame "Michael wanted it," excuse, then I am willing to hear him out. Doctors said "no" in the past to Michael. They were fired, sure, but he didn't die in their care, did he? Nope.
I believe there were many, many other things going on around Michael when he died and that Murray just happened to make a slew of insane mistakes in the middle of them all, and that he was separate from what was going on. He was the fall guy and took all the attention and heat from others trying to control (not kill) Michael.
But a doctor that won't admit mistakes he made, and then tries to justify his reasoning with poor logic that
no one in the medical community agrees with - is not going to get my sympathy.
