I hate this blame culture.

They're doing it with that crash on Friday too.

When will the law accept, both sides of the pond, that there isn't always anyone or anything to blame.

If Mr. Jackson was paying him and asked him to administer this drug, then the fault is solely with Mr. Jackson.

surely the medical professional holds responsibility - considering he is supposed to be the ~professional within the field~, whereas jacko is just his patient. sure he (jacko) most probably knew what he wanted/needed and thus flashed the cash, but murray was the doctor, he did the action, so therefore he is responsible considering he could have simply said 'no' and let another doctor feed the addict until jacko died. if i went to my doctors right now, asked for whatever drug i desired and slipped him £200, yes i shouldn't have gone in the first place, but he shouldn't of given me anything that isn't allowed within medical guidelines or whatever.

agreed he had a professional responsibility to say no regardless of how much cash was flung at him.

It purely depends on the relationship they had.

An absolute joke. Jackson was a serious junkie who killed himself. All that has happened here is all his family and hangers on want to pass the buck

As a doctor he should've put the safety of Jackson before money, this is the real issue with the american health care system, Money > people.
