Dr. Adams Speaks to 'Extra'

Dr. Jan Adams, the man who operated on Kanye West's mother, Donda, just hours before she died, is still in seclusion.

However, “Extra’s” Mario Lopez, who co-hosted TV's “The Other Half” with Dr. Adams, recently spoke to the surgeon over the phone.

“He definitely wants to set the record straight and definitely wants people to know the truth," Lopez said. "He feels very strongly that he did nothing wrong.”

As for why Dr. Adams hasn’t spoken publicly yet, Lopez comments, “Out of respect for the family. And he’s also waiting for the autopsy report.”

I’m sorry, not jessie, but the other person who said the Dr. should not perform again. I agree with Jessie in that we should at least be more respectful to Kanye’s mom and not jump on her and say it’s her fault. We do not know what really happened.

On the other hand, I do agree with Jessie in that Dr. Adams should not perform surgery again. There are too many malpractice suits out against him. I’m sure if anyone in here had a family member to approach them saying they are going to Dr. Adams, you would strongly advise them not to. I feel so bad for Kanye because he was close to his mother. This story teaches all of us to make sure we thoroughly checked someone before we go to them.

That last comment to ALLOW DR.JAN TO CONTINUE SURGERY?? YOU MUST BE CRAZY. YOU SHOULD CALL HIM AND ASK HIM TO CUT YOU TOO. TO SEE IF YOU WOULD ALLOW A DR. WHO HAS BEEN CUTTING WOMEN THE WRONG WAY CATCH UP MORE ON THE COMPLAINTS THIS MAN HAS.

Ok Jessie, you are being disrespectful too. Why the freakin’ heck bring Oprah into this? She has not spoken to the man since he’s been on her show in 2003. This man has been on NUMBEROUS show on almost every channel, and had his own show. Why only mention Oprah?? I just cannot believe all the garbage I am reading from folks who finds out Oprah had him on and now all of a sudden, all of this is her fault. If you are going to criticize Oprah for something over 4 years ago, then criticize all the other shows and TV networks that had him on too. And I’m sure some of them are your favorite channels to watch…criticize them too then. Here are some of his appearances:

“…he appeared as an expert guest on “Oprah,” “The Other Half,” CNN, “Entertainment Tonight,” E!, ABC, NBC and “Extra.” Adams, who had his own show on Discovery Health, also appeared in a TV advertisement for Chanel’s Allure perfume, according to his Web site.”

Wow! Is Extra dumb too for having him on their program??? THINK before you go posting stuff like that. Don’t hate on Oprah because she is successful and worked EXTREMELY hard to get to where she is. She did not bring on that plastic surgeon to hurt people, she brought him on to answer questions and unfortunately, they were not aware of the couple of malpractice suits from 2001 and DUI.

I agree with cynt c.It is sad this woman died,but it was her responsibilty to check out her plastic surgeon.With the money Kanye has,she could have had the best p.s in Beverly Hills to perform surgery on her-and I mean no disrespect,but IF she had taken reasonable care,she may be alive right now.When one doctor tells you that you need medical clearance before you have plastic surgery,why on earth would you search for someone to cut on you knowing you have a medical condition that makes you suseptible to death.Plastic surgery has it’s risk,but why would you take a chance knowing full well it’s likely you’ll die,and you choose to have surgery anyway.That being said,this guy needs to not be allowed to do any type of surgery,for that fact,practice medicine again,after all the malpractice lawsuits we’ve seen on the news.There is no basis for a lawsuit in the case of Kayne mothers’ death.It’s sad,but it happened because of her poor choice.

i feel that Kanye’s Mom had medical issues that she did not tell Dr. Jan about. So it is her fault in the end.

I am sympathetic to Kanye. I feel bad for his losing his mother. Its tragic. That being said, this doctor was chosen because he cuts corners and disregards serious conditions that ethically or morally sound plastic surgeons stear away from.

Thats not a credit to him or his profession. So once again, Kanye’s mom tried to get a doctor to overlook medical problems, they said no..and she chose this doctor. Unfortunately taking that route ended her life.

GIVEN THAT DATA….and since his mother purposely took that route…I dont think Kanye should have a case….but i also dont think DR JAN..SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE SURGERY…Kanye should not have a case.
