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.

76. I Love the imbeciles saying what a fine surgeon Dr. West is. If he is so wonderful, why's his patient worm food?

77. It wouldn't surprise me that Donda West was impressed by Dr. Adam's charming mannerism and the Harvard puffery.

78. "The privacy protections HIPAA affords are not limited durationally, therefore the medical record of a deceased patient is subject to all restraints on disclosure that are applicable to the record of a living patient."


1) it's HIPAA NOT HIPPA
2) The above is taken directly from the CA HIPAA rule.

Privacy does NOT end once the patient is deceased.

y'all glib y'all

79. Dr Jan Adams is on a popular show that discusses plastic surgery procedures that different doctors perform. Nobody can foresee a patient's death. We all are at risk during any surgery. Whether it was a necessary surgery or not, she gave her consent to have it done and she knew the risks. I'm sure she needed the breast reduction surgery. It was probably giving her pain and discomfort to have large breasts late in life.

80. and jr your lame explanation of a deadly tooth extraction was just that... LAME!!!!

I've had more than enough experience with tooth friggen extractions than I care to admit but never did I feel like I needed to call 911 over a tooth being pulled!!

unless you're a crack head or some other kind of junkie - i suppose you might be at risk, but a normal healthy patient ? come on now!

81. ..P.S. #80...IF ANYBODY who has a heart condition and they have dental work...the FIRST thing they r warned abt is a bacterial infection that can cause ENDOCARDITIS in the heart, which can rapidly lead to death ...in this womans case it is highly unlikely she had any kind of bacterium infection going on because the symtoms r high fever, vomiting, shakes chills, etc...soshe already would have been in hspt...so we r back tothe blood clots...just speculation..

90. R.I.P to Dr.Donde West. She was obviously a very educated women being the former chair of an english dept. for a university, but the decision to have have cosmetic surgery at the age of 58 doesn't seem like a smart one, especially if here problems weren't life threatening. I mean, at that age ya not impressing too many people to begin with. But like Kanye said 'we all self-conscious I'm just the first to admit it.' guess his moms was too!!
