2. And to think, all of this could have been avoided...

3. Why is this information avaiable now, but no patient was aware of his professional status prior to their operation? None of this will help Kanye's mother.

4. To all the women getting lipo'ed, suctioned, gastric bypasssed,

Forget about the nip & tuck...Just go out and buy some Spanx underwear (one size smaller than your regular size) and you'll be good to go !!!

5. No one probably asked to see proof of his credentials. It's so easy just to believe what your doctor tells you as truth. As far as people commented who think TMZ shouldn't engage in "character assassination" on Dr. Adams, they apparently didn't have to go far to find proof that this man was not qualified to perform the surgeries that he was doing, and the facts are apparently littered in publicly-accessible records. Deal with it!

6. Anybody ever heard of a referral for Christ sake. If you are going to have someone slice open your body out of vanity to make your self look better, you should check out the person who is doing the slicing.

7. ENOUGH!
Isn't Britney awake yet?

Someone died people. This guy is a sleaze. Lets let this go until professionals can put it to trial.

8. This man had a show on the Discovery Channel, been on CNN, NBC, The View and others....how is all of this coming out now?

Wow, TMZ already convicted this man.

9. EVERY DOCTOR GETS SUED 1000000 TIMES. HOW MANY LAWSUITS FOR MALPRACTICE HAS HE LOST IS THE QUESTION

10. The more serious awakening is that we as people need to be satisfied with what God has given us. We are always looking for a quick fix unstead of doing the obvious, stop eating and work out. We would much rather do it quickly and that is just not right. Be happy with what you have given by God and if you can't change it naturally just leave it alone. A friend of mine was taking diet pills to lose weight last week and has fallen into a coma. Enough people

11. Doctors with professional ethics, professional skills, and busy calendars don't need to go on television. Television is for entertainment and you are a fool if you pick your doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, etc. from your TV instead of reliable referrals.

12. Most states have very lax regulation on plastic surgery -- something the PUBLIC DOES NOT KNOW. In most states, a person can legally advertise and perform plastic surgery and be no more than a hyped-up internist or dermatologist -- all you have to do is go to a weekend program that focuses on a procedure and obtain a "certificate."

Add some glam shots, a well put together website, a nice office and a professional presentation...and what patient wouldn't be impressed? This Dr. went to Harvard undergrad and Ohio State Medical school! The trick is to make sure that your doctor IS BOARD CERTIFIED IN PLASTIC SURGERY -- NOT SOMETHING ELSE. MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAD THEIR RESIDENCY IN PLASTIC SURGERY -- NOT SOMETHING ELSE.

You don't let an auto-mechanic re-wire your house and you wouldn't let a carpenter sew your wedding dress, so don't let someone without the right credentials and certification preform surgery on you. AND DON'T TAKE THEIR WORD ON IT -- DOUBLE CHECK IT!

13. I have watched this Dr. on Plastic Surgery Before and After. It goes to show you that just because someone appears on a TV show does not mean they are as good as you think they are. This is so sad. I will keep Kanye and his family in my prayers as they try to cope with this heartbreaking loss. God Bless You!!!

14. Medical licenses, legal history and such are easily verified. And she was in contact with Dr. Jan for over 4 months prior to the procedure. Donda was no dummy... she was a tenured professor at Chicago State University, in addition to being the department chair. It would appear the only credential she needed to know about were that he was a "celeb-surgeon." A highly competent plastic surgeon previously told her "NO" because of her medical history... she shopped around until she found one willing to do the procedure. She made her choice.

15. Who cares? Did anybody really know or care bout this lady before this week when she died?
Sorry she died, but really, isn't there anything else going on?
