Medical Board Wanted to Suspend Dr. Adams

The Medical Board of California filed legal papers last April asking to revoke or suspend Dr. Jan Adams' medical license because he was convicted of multiple DUIs, one in 2006, another in 2003. TMZ has also turned up a 1994 DUI conviction.

In the accusation, the Executive Director of the Medical Board states Adams "has used alcohol to the extent or in such a manner as to be dangerous or injurious to himself and others..."

We've also uncovered two malpractice judgments against Dr. Adams from 2001. One for $217,337 and the other for $250,000.

Dr. Jan Adams told TMZ last night that he "did nothing wrong" in operating on Donda West.

4. I am shocked that this woman with all the money she had, or her son has, could not do a little homework and find a reputable surgeon. The stupidity boggles the mind. She did not need to die. So sad. I hope this haunts that moron Kanye til the end of his days.

6. This seems totally irrelevant. What happened was a tragedy. His personal choices should not be used against him in this case unless they involve past medical procedures.

9. This is a very unprofessional, stupid and publicity seeking Doctor that people should run away from. Why did he have to come out and announced to the whole world that he was the doctor that operated on Kanye West's mother without being questioned. Where is the doctor/patient confidentiality. This is a pscho doctor and they need to revoke his licence for opening his mouth to big by announcing that he operated and did some certain procedure for Kanye's mother. SHAME ON YOU DUI, ATTENTION SEEKING, AND UNPROFESSIONAL DOCTOR. Someone needs to wash out his big dirty mouth for him. TMZ - Harvey Levine use your common senses and stop posting this news on your website like is some good news that needs to be popping up on your website every seconds. SHAME ON DOCTOR ZINGO AND TMZ

12. ga--You are ridiculous....TMZ is exposing this criminal, and will hopefully save some lives. Use your brain a tiny little bit, or is that too hard?

13. Just because he drinks doesnt mean he in not a board certified surgeon. As long as he has his liscense, she would of have no way to know about his drinking issue. That is his personal life, and I am sure none of us really know what our doctors do in thier personal ife. So how would she know?

I say the thing this man did wrong, was not to make her stay in the hospital over night. After having both a tummy-tuck, and breast reduction surgery, and given her past health, and age, she should have stayed in the hospital overnight to be monitored. Usually any fatal complications as a result of surgery will hapeen within the next 24-hours. This man was an idiot! for not doing this.

14. oh, is this the one who did it ? things aren't gonna go well 4 him i see.

15. Before the public can convict the man, more information is needed on the health status of KW's mother. Even though plastic surgery is routine, any procedure (regardless of type) will be stressfull on the human body.

Prayers with KW
