(AP) AP Science Writer Michael Jackson's personal doctor received the
maximum punishment in the pop singer's death but not before a scolding
from the judge for violating his Hippocratic oath and engaging in
"money-for-medicine madness."
.
Despite Judge Michael Pastor's sharp rebuke of Dr. Conrad Murray, medical
ethics and legal experts say the outcome is unlikely to dramatically
change the culture of celebrity medicine.
.
There are doctors who will apply the same standard of care to their
high-profile patients as the non-famous. Those starstruck will be more
likely to cave to patients' demands, overlook their bad habits and operate
out of bounds.
.
"These doctors are ego-crazed and money dependent," said Dr. Steven Miles
of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
.
Miles said it's dangerous when a doctor enters into an exclusive
relationship with a patient especially if the person is rich and famous.
.
"It's the kind of environment where the normal checks and balances are
very difficult to apply," he said.
.
Jackson's death and other recent celebrity drug-related deaths have raised
questions about how far some doctors will go to cater to their clients.
