33. Oprah should not have had a guest on her show that was intentionally misrepresenting anything about themselves, remember the weirdo fake author it sure seems she would be looking at her guests more closely

34. Anybody that listens to a talk show host about something as delicate and intricate as Surgery MUST BE CRAZY and NOT playing with a full deck! I'm not saying Mrs. West did listen to any of these fat ass talk show hosts, Oprah or Ellen or whoever because she was an educated person and if she did take advice from these fools then it just goes to show you that an educated person such as Mrs. West is also caught up with the talk show hysteria but I really don't think so but why didn't she check out this Quack creditials because of WHY??!!

35. I WAS WONDERING I READ ALL THE STORIES FROM TMZ ABOUT DR ADAMS AND DIDN'T THE STAFF OF OPRAH DO THERE FACT CHECKING BEFORE HE WAS ALLOWED TO BE ON THE SHOW. JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

36. Let's look at the big picture. Oprah is a talk show host. She is not God or the foremost authority to certify the credentials or the moral status of others.I also think it is premature to criticizes Dr. Jan Adams because of this unfortunate event with the late Dr. Donda West. We need to wait to see the facts. Doctors sometimes loose patients, that is a fact of life and a single malpractice suit means nothing. DUIs that occur outside of the operating room does not substantiate the quality of a surgeon.

I had the exact procedure 5 days before Ms. West and I was not cleared for surgery until my internist, the anesthesiologist and the surgeon agreed that I was healthy enough for all stages of the procedure. The typical protocol may have been ignored because she was a celebrity in her own right. My prayers go out to the West Family.

38. This is another reason I quit watching Oprah...I got sick of her condescending attitude and constant interrupting of guests. She acts like she is an expert on everything and shows she is an expert on nothing. Either she or her staff had better do some real checking up on her so called experts she has on. This quack has been sued numerous times and yet she has him on as an expert on plastic surgery...some guy writes a book full of lies and she boosts that....she has an exclusive school for blacks in Africa, and the girls have been abused by a majo staff member. I am not racist but neither am I stupid enough to continue to watch and support her program. My heart goes out to all of those victims of that plastic surgery butcher but if it looks too good to be true, it surely is.

39. Lets not persecute this man, until we know the official cause of her death. There's a risk with any surgery and allegedly, Ms. West had some medical issues. Ultimately, it was her decision to have the surgery.

It's very tragic that she died and my prayers go out to Kanye and his family.

40. This isn't the first time someone with a less than stellar background has been on Oprah's show. How many people are aware that Dr. Phil lost his license to practice in Texas? Seems like anyone with an advanced degree that 'she' believes in gets air time and her support regardless of their background and behavior.

But, the viewers that swallow anything they see on 'Oprah' without doing their own research have to share the responsibility for what happens to them.

It's a shame so many people use entertainment shows to guide their lives.

41. I am an anesthetist that works with board certified plastic surgeons and we all agree if the facts presented are true that this death was preventable and at the very least Dr. Adams exercised very poor judgement. By not being board certified Dr Adams has opened the door for massive criticism. Just wonder how an attractive black male Dr. was able to fool all the celebs and gain national status!!! Wake up public, the Discovery Channel and Oprah don't certify doctors and now we know why. Maybe we need to stop advancing people based on color and maybe do it on merit

42. Um hello people how the hell is Oprah in any way shape or form responsible for what happened to Kanyes mom? She has famous people on her show, so what it dosnt mean shes responsible for any of thier actions esp. hello! 4 yrs after the show! Get a life people!

43. Nobody said she was responsible but please admit the fact that millions of unthinking people take her word and those she endorsres as gospel. She has a responsibility to the public to screen the credentials of the people she brings on the show as experts. Promoting anyone soley based on color is wrong...white or black. America is so caught up in celebrity and this is is just tragic proof how wrong it is! If you take nothing else from this tragedy as the consuming public look before you leap. There is a reason other surgeons turned her down........because it was the right thing to do!

44. Have any of you seen Jan Adams website? The last question he asks his potential new clients is "would you like Dr. Adams to do your surgery or one of his personally "TRAINED ASSOCIATES then adds at a reduced rate"???? I could not believe that he would allow someone he trained in his office to perform plastic surgery procedures on his patients after alluring them with a "reduced rate". He is not board certifed, obviously a drunk driver and has been sued for malpractice twice which he paid out over $500,000.00 to injured patients. He is a quack who killed Donda West....... Plain and simple.....
