1. Watching Larry King is similar to a "lethal injection." The only difference is that Larry King is more torturous.

2. This ought to be interesting. Remember people, he is innocent until proven guilty.
Many doctor's perform plastic surgery without being board certified. Most doctor's have malpractice suits against them because our society is sue happy. They want an easy fix too, rather than good old fashion diet and exercise.

I believe Donda West probably did have a medical condition that should have been addressed before surgery. She took that chance and it failed. I wish this would never have happened but I'm not going to go blaming this doctor.

3. Larry King is finished. He goes after the most pathetic interviews apparently just for ratings. Besides that, he never seems to understand what they are saying anyway, he just plows thru his prepared script with no reaction to the responses he is getting. No wonder whoever is being pounded down in the media on any given day wants to go on his show.

4. What a Waste of Interview time. Mealy mouthed, blue index card reading, never asks a follow up question, softball playing Larry King----Watch as Dr Adams "runs the table" on King who will undoubtebly be unprepared, not ask the tough questions, nor listen to the answers to form a dialouge with the Doctor.

Oh the wasted opportunity

5. Another blown chance by Larry King to nail someone good. Cant wait to see when David Copperfield eventually makes an apperance. Only hope is he makes King dissapear.

I'll watch the interview, not so much because of Adams, but to see King fumble once again.

If this man wont retire, could the people who write the questions for Mr Mom at least think of tough ones for King to recite?

CNN is truly the Communist Network

10. I hope Larry King does his home work and asks the tough questions. The problem is everyone knows that Larry is a softball question pitcher - that is why so many people go on Larry King and not other news programs.

11. I really feel sad for Kanye, but I thought Donde West was a smart and intelligent women, why would she go out a seek a man like that to do a very serious surgery like that knowing her medical history. The first doctor said NO because of health reason. I wonder why she continued to still have this surgery anyway. THIS IS VERY SAD

13. # 3 couldn't have said it better. Take it from someone who has lived through it - the media will turn this into a bigger circus than ever and impact both sides of the fence with suggestions and innuendo and half-truths. The fact is that if that doctor is "bad" and shouldn't be practicing because he's not fully board certified in plastic surgery - then the State of CA Board of Medical Quality Assurance and the medical licensing board in that state are equally if not more complicit. The truth is that board certified docs will mess up as much as nonboard certified docs. That doesn't prove a thing here. And because this Dr Adams is such a visible public figure - and african american nonetheless - he's a target now looming larger than ever. Somewhere between the rich doctor haters and the racists - he's already crucifed before any proof has been revealed. He may well have blown it here. Face it - we already know this woman was doctor-shopping. She kept on going down the line until there was a "yes" in place of "no." Or - suppose she had a medical condition requiring clearance that was not made evident during the standard preoperative screening - suppose it was there, not detected because it's usually not looked for, and was never disclosed by the patient. Is that the doctor's fault? No. The point here: We don't know the facts. Don't condemn this doctor and destroy his livelyhood and his good name for the rest of his life unless he truly deserves it - and make sure that if you're going to sit in judgement - be qualified to do so. Medical jurisprudence is not the territory of laymen.

15. ...Don...nothing in ur posting that hasn't been said by some of us " laymen:...we all know the profession is filled with many quacks, not saying this Doctor is one...the medical community does a poor job of policing its own and lack of standard guidlines that r followed by all Doctors in the plastic field r unhinged to say the least....seems this woman wasn't cleared for surgury but it is obvious this Doctor didn't care abt that, and that is my point....u'd like ot think all the Docs play on the same team, but they don't and that just isn't right.
