Joe Jackson has filed a complaint with the American Medical Association against AEG, the company behind Michael Jackson’s This is It tour, accusing AEG of “unlawful practice of corporate medicine.”
The complaint claims that AEG paid Dr. Conrad Murray to give Michael the lethal dose of propofol, which resulted in his death last June. The complaint further alleges: “AEG hired, directed, controlled and demanded Dr. Conrad Murray, a medical doctor, to medicate Michael Jackson, provide Jackson with dangerous medical services and to give Michael Jackson controlled substances and other drugs without providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment or nursing assistance as it had promised in writing it would provide.”
The complaint also alledges that AEG failed to provide Dr. Murray with a registered nurse and proper equipment, as required by Michael’s AEG contract, “AEG shall provide Dr. Murray for his use during the term with medical equipment requested by Dr. Murray to assist him in performing the services as approved by AEG.”
