The Doctor will sue you now

The Doctor Will Sue You Now


  This article depicts the struggle of a forner millionaire who feels his name was ruined by the death of Michael Jackson. Dr. Arnold Klein believes he is entitled to money because his "good name" was ruined by the involuntary manslaughter trial of his former partner and Michael Jackson's personal doctor Conrad Murray. All of Dr. Klein's records containing Michael Jackson's medical history and treatment was brought to public eye illegally by former employees of his, showing the lack of attention and poor character of the doctor.  Since then Dr. Klein has gone to say that money has been embezzled from his accounts by terrorist's forcing him to file for bankruptcy.

   I thought the doctors sense of entitlement was ridiculous. He is partly responsible for the death of a human being and even though I do not have the most positive views of Micheal Jackson, he still has the right to live. Dr Klein feels that he is owed something from the community and I do not think this is justified based on his actions. Dr. Klein filed for bankruptcy in 2011 and said he was forced to auction off his art and memorabilia. I believe he should count his lucky stars that he is still alive unlike his patient whom he helped get addicted to Demerol, which resulted in his death.

   What I noticed about the writer is that all of his information is fact based. Most, if not all of his information, is written about events that have been documented and proven true due to the fact was in the spotlight of the media for a few years. Another thing I noticed was that the writer was biased in writing negatively about Dr. Klein, even if what he stated was true.

I give this article 3 out of 5 stars. Although informative, readers whom already have biased views of the overall situation may not persuaded one way or the other because the article was one sided.
