mr. jackson is pronounced dead. >> dr. kerry peterson. internal medicine, lennox hill hospital, thank you for your patience. you've been listening to all of this. the big question, of course, why didn't, when the paramedics arrived, they immediately take michael jackson into an ambulance and do all their work on him on the way to the hospital? dr. conrad murray was the doctor in charge. so he had the authority. he said to them, stay there for 42 minutes to work on michael jackson without a pulse, without breathing in the home. what do you make of that decision? >> well, what i would gather when it comes to resuscitation, time is of the essence. you don't have seconds to spare when someone is not breathing. presumably dr. murray was in a panic at that moment because he had attempted resuscitative efforts unsuccessfully and he was probably not thinking very rationally at that time. when ems arrived they would administer cpr immediately right there in the bed and would transport him as they were doing the cpr along the way. so i imagine that
