MJ ‘wanted his kids to become doctors’

London, August 9 (ANI): Michael Jackson once aspired to become a medicine man and wanted his children to follow the same path, it has emerged.
A friend claimed that the King of Pop wanted to see his kids- Prince, 12, Paris, 11, Blanket, 7- study hard in order to follow the respected profession of being doctors and not enter the glamour world.
“Michael also got his children interested in it. He made sure they were constantly learning. He wanted them to be highly educated and to follow a noble and well-respected profession - becoming a doctor was ideal,” the Daily Star quoted the pal as saying.
The source said: “He didn’t want them to have the same troubles he had by going into showbiz. Paris was particularly interested in learning about anatomy.
It was apparently one of the reasons why he wanted Dr. Conrad Murray to stay with his family, who is now suspected of giving the singer powerful anaesthetic drugs which killed him.
The insider added: “That’s why Michael liked Dr Murray so much. He said the doctor always had time for the children and that he spoke to Prince and Paris about medicine and what it takes to be a doctor.
“In particular, Paris and Dr Murray spent quite a bit of time discussing his role as a cardiologist.”
In fact, the pop legend’s 11-year-old daughter totally trusted the personal physician, the source said: “At the hospital on the day Michael died, Paris still had a lot of faith in Dr Murray because of the chats they’d had.
“She asked her gran Katherine how her daddy could have died because Dr Murray was the ‘world’s best cardiologist’.”
The insider further revealed that Jackson was obsessed about becoming a medical practitioner and had even carried out a clandestine human dissection.
The pal added: “Michael secretly went along to dissect a foot, at the university, I think. I’m not sure when that was but he spoke about how interesting it was. He said it was his ultimate goal to become a doctor. I don’t think he quite realised how many years of study that takes.
“Michael ordered hundreds of books about medicine and the human body and avidly read them.
“He was a very intelligent, articulate and educated man who loved soaking up knowledge from books. He encouraged his children to do the same.” (ANI)
