Donda's Surgeon -- I'm the Victim of "Sleaze"

Plastic surgeon Dr. Jan Adams has told TMZ that he was the doctor who performed cosmetic surgery on Kanye West's mother Donda before she died.

Dr. Adams told TMZ her death, which followed a tummy tuck and breast reduction, was unforeseen and could have been caused by a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting.

Dr. Adams tells us West consulted with him over a period of four months. He says she changed her mind numerous times, sometimes greenlighting the surgery and sometimes halting it.

As for the TMZ report that Beverly Hills doctor Andre Aboolian refused to conduct the surgery because of a medical condition that West had, Dr. Adams said of Dr. Aboolian, "He is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance."

Dr. Adams says he did nothing wrong.

184. If you can't tell by looking at this guy that he is nothing more than someone waiting to get famous, you have no sense of perception. I would never have let this man touch me.

185. I wish a lot of strength to Kayne
His mother seemed like an exeptionnal person. Maximum respect.
and....If she changed her mind numerous times, over a short period (4 months) why did the doctor operate?

187. At University of Michigan hospital, Dr. Adams was chief resident in reconstructive surgery.
I am fine now after the bilateral mastectomy, but I was awakened painfully one morning when Dr. Adams just yanked my drainage tube at 6:30 in the morning without even waking me up and telling me about it. I sure did complain to my surgeon about his bedside manners and his this act. His face has been painfully etched in memory since that scary morning.

188. Dr. Adams was the chief resident in reconstructive surgery at University of Michigan, when I had my prophylactic bilateral surgery with reconstruction. One morning I was awaken very rudely and painfully at 6:30 A.M when I screamed and woke up, Dr. Adams was on my side and said, " I just yanked your drainage tube out", he was not even apologetic for not waking me up before he did that, and just walked away. I did complain about his bedside manners to my surgeon, but not sure if anything was done about it.

189. Hey, guys. Patients LIE to their Doctors EVERYDAY. This DR. very well could have done the right thing. I do understand he had a few malpractice suits but this country is very sue happy. I sure don't want Patients who lie to their Drs. to become marters.
Let's wait till this all unfolds.

190. What a shame for all involved. Why no privacy laws - HIPPA in place? Does that end with death? I wodner if Dr.'s credentials are current and if he is Board Cretified? Sorry to see such a neat lady pass before her time.....by all accounts an educated woman and great mother. If the DR. did his job correctly and this was an horrible accident that was not his fault - then he will have a very hard time recoverng from all of this. She could have stayed at the hopsital, and paid for 24/7 care or had a nurse go home with her.....why did she not do that?

191. How on earth did the Medical Association allows this freaky Jan Adams to practice medicine in the first place. I understand he has some many malpractice cases pending and was not a board certified surgeon.
I just saw pictures of a poor woman he butchered recklessly on the web.
This monster should be locked up permanently.

192. For "I mean to say" (currently number 60, although I know this changes when posts are deleted).... Also to Ima Bitch.

A friend/coworker of mine had his wisdom teeth removed and fell into a coma for 11 days due to a staph infection that made it's way to his brain. Some people have even gotten sepsis (blood infections) and died merely from flossing, and allowing the bacteria to get into open wounds. It does happen. I'm sure it's rare, but the poster you were responding to wasn't lying. Even having your blood drawn, a simple needle prick can cause sepsis, if the site isn't properly cleaned (the needle pushes the bacteria on your skin into your vein). And that is just a tiny prick. So a major open wound anywhere can be a real risk.

193. just because you have money, doesn't mean you should use it for selfish vanity, what was wrong with Ms. West...nothing, except maybe a little niave, or over moneyed ?
