Dr. Adams Cuts and Runs from Larry King

He was supposed to finally discuss the death of his most famous patient, Dr. Donda West, but Dr. Jan Adams bailed on "Larry King Live" instead -- walking off the set live on the air.


Adams did not come out for the first segment of the show -- as he was scheduled. He appeared after the first commercial break, and told Larry King that he would not speak.

Adams then took off his earpiece and walked off the set. Larry quickly threw to commercial.

Later in the show, Alan Tenenbaum, an attorney for Dr. Adams, explained that Adams received a letter from attorneys representing the West family. The letter asked him not to appear on the show.

King left open the possibility that Adams could appear on the show again Wednesday.

31. Not supporting him one bit, but what exactly how does the West family get to revoke his license?

They are likely to sue him and hope to cost him his license no matter what - this item makes no sense.

32. I wish Dr, Adam's father would of pulled out of his mother.

33. I remember when Dr. West had a TV show where he showed his ass over and over until old women called and said "STOPP!!!!"...

34. Dr Adams ... you are an embarrassment to us real board certified plastic surgeons.
Your public persona and private mess is disgraceful.

35. Its simple. Dr west was a very sick woman who signed a waiver on the surgery. She has a pre existing condition. The West family does not want her illness to hurt her legacy.
Larry King is finished !

36. Ha ha ha! Who the hell cares anyway. Enough of this story. I don't need to hear about everybody's mom croaking.

37. This doctor is an F up. He has a long line of bad history. He is done in the medical field. Due to this story, konye's (sp?) music was on tv. You would have to be deaf to sit through one of his concerts.

39. I have a confession. I like to smell farts. I sometimes don't wipe my butt on purpose so I can smell my underwear later.

40. I've watched this coverage for over a week now...even the folks at FoxNews were debating about it.
As a surgical nurse, I implore anyone wanting plastic surgery or any surgery for that matter...to check your state's medical board website. You can see if your surgeon is board certified and has any disciplinary issues.
I was shocked to hear that Dr. West was sent home after 8 hours under general anesthesia...and a tummy tuck and lipo no less. Add to that she had a breast reduction. Most women stay overnight (minimum) for the abdominoplasty. That's what sent off warning flags in my head. Not a surgery that should be done on an outpatient basis.
Not only is one extremely sore after this surgery (won't get into the description of the actual technique)...there is blood loss and what we call fluid shift. People usually need IV fluids, pain meds...and nausea meds.
Again, research before you take the leap.

41. Dr. Who? Kanye who? Does anyone really care? Oh, Kanye, ok, I know now...the spoiled little rich kid who preteneded to be from a poor family when he first started out in the music biz....lol. I remember him now. POSER.

42. He was probably afraid he would get sued for revealing confidential information. In addition to what he will be sued for already. It does seem a bit unfair that he can't defend himself on all the charges that have been made. The media really went into a feeding frenzy on this one. I don't know if he is as shady as claimed but he should at least be able to express his side.

43. Lame!!!!! Why show up in some attempt to make yourself look good cuz you refuse to talk??? He should have issued a statement.

44. 10:24, YOU ARE DISGUSTING.
