Julie's Journal
Good girls have diaries... Bad girls have blogs!On January 27, 1984, Michael Jackson was burned while filming a Pepsi commercial at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium. He was rushed to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, then transferred to Brotman Medical Center in Culver City, CA with second-degree burns on the back of his head.
My husband’s father was working at Brotman Medical Center as a burn technician at the time, and had Michael Jackson in his care. At the time of his release from the hospital Michael autographed one of his balloons that he had received and gave it to my husband’s father. He also gave him the thermometer that they had used on him in the hospital. My husband still has this thermometer and we thought that it’s time to show the rest of the world what a neat collector item this is for any Michael Jackson fan.
Michael Jackson was always donating to charities, and one of his favorite charities was Brotman Medical Center that took care of him when he was injured. We are seriously thinking of putting Michael Jackson’s hospital thermometer up for auction on eBay and donating some of the proceeds to the Brotman Medical Center.
What do you think? Do you think this might be a hot item on eBay and that we could raise some good money for the burn center? In this day and age of the fancy CSI stuff I’m sure they could lift his DNA off it.

I remember that time. We were still living in L.A. then, close to Brotman. This will certainly bring you some cash on ebay. Hopefully lots of it 
I can help make the cruise ressies for you! Well, my daughter can. Does that count for something?

I think this item will get immediate attention among plenty of Jackson fans, and I think you should ask for a higher price for it coz it really worth it.
This is interesting! I’m sure a lot of Michael Jackson fans would willingly bid for a token of his. It’s certainly unique, and very personal. Good luck!
