Michael Jackson’s Ex-Doctor Helps Ailing Passenger Mid-Flight

Dr. Conrad Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to an involuntarily manslaughter charge in the death of Michael Jackson, reportedly came to the aid of a young woman who fainted during a commercial airline flight on Saturday.

Murray helped stabilize a 23-year-old woman who passed out during a US Airways flight that departed from Houston, his spokeswoman tells Associated Press. Jackson's former doctor hooked the woman up to an IV line after detecting a weak pulse, then kept an eye on her until the jet landed in Albuquerque, his spokeswoman says.

US Airways confirmed to the AP that a doctor aboard the flight helped stabilize a patient having a medical emergency.
