Jackson doctor’s license restricted by Texas board

April 13, 2010 - 11:00 pm
 

HOUSTON -- The Texas Medical Board has restricted the doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death from administering the drug that authorities say was responsible for killing the pop star.

Dr. Conrad Murray cannot use or administer propofol, any anesthetic agent normally administered by an anesthesiologist, any other heavy sedatives or any form of general sedation in Texas as part of an agreed order issued by the medical board last week.

Murray, who was working as Jackson's personal physician, is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the singer's June 2009 death in California from the anesthetic propofol and other drugs. He has pleaded not guilty.

A California judge also has prohibited Murray from administering propofol and putting patients under general anesthetic.

The medical board said it took the action because of the charges Murray faces in Jackson's death.

Murray, 57, a cardiologist, has clinics in Las Vegas and Houston and has a license to practice in California. A court hearing regarding his California medical license is set for June 14.
