Nursing Michael Jackson
Even as the Las Vegas, NV home and offices of the incompetent, asleep at the swtich Dr. Conrad Murray were being raided, I was having a very interesting conversation with some medical colleagues of Dr. Steven Hoefflin who did (most of) Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeries, including his first or second nose job, depending on who you believe.
