Celebrity Justice
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.

16. #4, you are very insensitive and your comments is very uncalled. Where is your sensitivity chips in you. It seems to me that you do not have a loved one around you that you have ever lost, if not, you wouldn't make such a bad statement. Losing a loved one is a very sad thing to have happened to anyone in this world and you will know if you have people that loved you.
#12 You are the one that is very ridiculous. All i care is for people to respect the woman's family to mourn in privacy. This has anything to do about exposing the Doctor. They can at least respect the woman's family privacy for now and expose Dr Zingo later. It is too sudden to start writing about what the woman did, who operated on her and all those nonsenses. You must be out of your mind to have made such a statement without thinking first. The first and foremost thing first is Respect the death, respect her son and her family, and expose the Doctor thereafter. ALRIGHTY. WHO EVER YOU ARE TO HAVE THOUGHT SO. No one needs your pointless and insensitive thoughts.

19. I find it interesting that yesterday there were tons of comments calling Dr. West vain and stupid and saying how she got what she deserved by having plastic surgery.

Now we discover Dr. Adams' DUI convictions (which have no bearing on his capabiity as a surgeon) the comments will shift to calling him a murderer and the like. Unless it can be proven he was intoxicated while operating there is no reason to bring his poor driving into the equation.

We are far to litigious a society with far too little emphasis on personal responsibility and acceptance. Surgery is hard on the body and sometimes people just die. It's tragic and heartbreaking, but it's a part of life.

Not everything is someone's fault.

20. Oh man. This is not looking good....
Word from the wise. Skip the plastic surgery and just eat right and exercise!!!

21. I feel sorry for Kayne having to hear all this when his mother has not even been laid to rest. Doing the blaming game is not going to bring her back, but this is shocking when you read that another surgeon refused to do the cosmetic surgery because of Kayne's mother's previous health 'issues'. The DUI's speak volumes of this doctor's character. Why wasn't his license revoked when it was suppose to be by the Medical Board??? This really makes a person cautious of having any of this type of surgery done.

22. Check out all the negative comments regarding Dr. Jan Adams:
Lawsuits, malpractice judgements, awards against him dating back several years...

Then judge for yourself...If he is qualified to be a practicing doctor/surgeon.

23. I just looked Dr. Adams up on the State Medical Board web site. There is no mention of any disciplinary actions. He had two different malpractice judgements against him in 2001 and they were both for less than $250K. He also had a pending case from April of 2007.

25. This is terrible. I don't know about the breast reduction, but losing weight and toning up could have been done under medical supervision at a plush facility anywhere in the world.

26. Dr. West wasn't neglectful in researching this surgeon, doing a driving records search is ususally not part of getting info on a plastic surgeon. What is troubling is that she was turned down by at least 1 other surgeon due to a pre-existing medical condition, so when this guy agreed to do the procedures, I'm sure she jumped at the chance. She apparently didn't realize the gravity of her condition. But what medical board worth it's salt lets a DUI collector practice medicine, much less perform surgery? That is shameful.

29. Yikes! Ms. West let a doctor operate on her who has an alcohol problem? What in the world was she thinking? She could have afforded to have his background checked and verified. If she knew his past and still let him operate on her, she ended up with the results she should have expected. I hope he loses his license for this. If Ms. West had a pre-existing condition that could cause her to die from surgery, he had no business operating on her. He should have known better even if she didn't. After all, he's the the one with the medical license.
