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.

46. Kanye, time to grow up and go out on your own!

Your momma attachment is embarrassing. Sorry she passed away, but don't be an ass because of it.

This is a free nation and you can't send threatening letters to people and demand they do what you say!

47. I cannot find the words to express how sorry I am for the West family. I am truly saddened by their loss of Donda. I can't begin to explain why or how this has happened but I do know that Jan would never put anyone in harms way knowing that she may have had underlying health problems that would lead to her death. I have known him for many years and the man the media is portraying is not the man I have known and loved. Let the facts come out before you judge, please.

57. Ah, Larry King right now, Dr. Adams was not board certified. He's been practicing a long time not to be board certified.
Please check surgeon credentials before surgery.
Not discounting the fact that Dr. West had an unnamed heart condition. My big question is...why was she allowed to recover at home after such an extensive surgery. It's not the norm.

59.
so he had his mail forwarded to Larry Kings place or what? What do they mean he got a letter!
something is not right here with this guy going on then making a grand gesture and leaving.
He could have talked about his drunk driving, mal practice suits and other stuff. I think the whole thing was some game.
