Mr Causey
met CM in las Vegas
Met CM 11 years ago in Las vegas, had a heart attack. University medical center couldn't stop the heart attack, so they called CM
CM talked to him for a few minutes about the procedure, made sure he understood, asked him to sign papers. Then took thim to the procedure room to do an angiograph.
Had high blood pressure, but didn't expect to have a heart attack, was 57.
Procedure : was not sedated, CM let him do that, did the procedure , told him he had found the problem.
CM always explains everything
Received 1 stent.
Had follow up visits, first one was 3 weeks after the first procedure
keeps in constant contact with Dr Murray, because of his medical condition, and became friends with CM.
Had other doctors in the past, but did not become friends with them. Became friends because of the way CM cares for his patients, loves his patients , the way he made him feel.
CM would not abandon a patient, does not rush patients, once was in his office for 4 and a half hours;
CM would take the time it takes to explain, in laymans words, calls the family to make sure they understand.
CM is not greedy, «*didn't charge my deductable*» (what's a deductable ?) , accepted his employees without knowing if they were insured.
Were you aware that CM was taking a job with MJ? CM told him that he would be back, had made arrangements, gave him his phone numbers.
Walgren
Came to LA on Monday night, stayed in a hotel last night.
Has given 2 media interviews
In 2009, can't remeber if he saw CM professionnally. Is sure about 2008, not sure about 2009
CM informed him he woas leaving his practice , coud have been in april, is not sure
CM is his best friend
Was treated for heart condition, had nothing to do with sleep disorder, nothing to do with drug dependency.
Was in a hospital, explained what was going to happen, and the hospital got him to sign papers.
Could see the monitors in the room
there were 3 additional people, so 4 people in the room , doing the rocedure, with monitors.
Had aditional stents , all the same way, in a hopsital, with personnel.
Chernoff :
was not paid for the media interview, did them to help his friend.
Helped because of his love, his compassion, and doesn't think he did what he's accused of.
Walgren :
Assuming CM had acted with gross negligence , he would still be here to support his friend

Andrew Guest
met Murray in 2002, was 39, through his primary physician. His physician called CM on his cell phone, while he was out of country. Had pain chest, arm chest, headache
CM ran some tests, did not do a treadmill test, CM wouldn't do it because it was dangerous, could have died, so did it in the hospital.
Had stents put.
Allergic to iodine, CM gave him medication for the allergery; Was awake during the procedure , a little sedated.
CM stopped during the procedure to check on him.
Solved the chest pain.
Had other stents, in another hospital, because the first hospital didn't have the right equipment, Cm wouldn't do it there
Dr Murray is the best doctor, explains everything , makes sure you're OK, called him at home during the week end.
Walgren
knows Mr Causey, did another intervies on CNN, with Denis Hix and Ruby Mosley
treatment was for a heart condition, had a team to help him
there was the necessary medical equipment
CM never gave him propofol in his bedroom
Every patient deserves that level of care ( witness wants to add something, Walgren doesn't let him)
Chernoff :
CM provides great care in his office too (that's what Mr Guest wanted to add)
CNN dind't pay him, believes CM needs support, apreciate his kindness, he's alive thanks to CM
Walgren
nothing would change his mind about CM

Lunette Sampson
Had 3 heart attacks in Las Vegas, november 2008, feb 2009, april 2009 , has congestive heart failure.
Had been treated by CM before the heart attack, had a heart attack in 95. CM treated her with medication, performed many procedures.
In 2008, CM was out of town when she had a heart attack. After the heart attack , another doctor told her she was OK, but CM didn't think so, wanted to do another test, she wouldn't do it, had a second heart attack.
CM is a very caring and thorough doctor, he looked at a problem she had in the legs, he saw that was where the problem came from.
CM doesn't rush through things. «*When we come we know wer'e gonna be there a while*».
CM is not greedy, he's taking care of people pro bono, pays for medication when patients can't pay
Walgren
lawyer Miranda Subik contacted her.
Miranda works at Media Masters, media masters is in her e mail adress.
CM never mentionned MJ, said he was taking a one year sabbatical, and was going to London, referred her to another doctor.
Was distressed because doesn't trust other doctors because of what happened to her
CM treated her for heart condtion
CM received a discipline letter from Sunrise Hosipital : December 24th had been called at 11am, called again at 11 05, CM called back at 12 pm , CM asked the staff at the hopsital to call another doctor, CM got to the hospital at 1 56, 3 hours after, there was serious risk of blood clotting for the patient. She was not aware of this letter.
CM was able to know what the other doctor did, because other doctor kept records.
Chernoff :
was not aware of the letter, cause it was hospital procedures, a DR is supposed to call in within 1 hour and 20 mn

Dennis Hix
Chernoff :

Walgren

CM is not greedy. If he had been greedy, he would not have come to Acres home, 75% of he people have low income, he made less than in Las Vegas. He did it because he made a comittment to continue medical care after his father passed. CMs father had a clinic in Acres Home
She was treated by CM, she got stents, CM treated her husband also. Her husband is 82 years old, he is better.
Walgren
Saw CM at the clinic, doesn't know what he did in his personal life (Walgren mentions Sade Anding, CMs social life)
Described CM as an encyclopedia, she corrects, she said he was very knowledgeable
CM can recite details as it relates to medical care, medical plans
Chernoff :
CM is very knowledgeable, pro active, took time with his patients;
CM would come every 2 weeks to Acres home, he had lots of patients , she was there, knows most of the patients.
CM took his time with her, explained things to her, to the extreme. Appointement could go on for an hour, he saw all the patients, no matter how long it took
She misses CM.
Recess until tomorrow 8 45
