Damn Shame

Shame.

he gon GET IT!!!!

1st

well at least I thought I was…LOL

Jan Adams is the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon that performed on Donda West before she died.

The shady doc has been sued for malpractice before and lost! TWICE!

In August of 2001 he was ordered to pay $250,000 in one claim.

In September of 2001, he was ordered to pay $217,337 in another malpractice judgment.

Additionally, Dr. Adams has been arrested for DUI. Twice!!!

On March 31, 2006, he was arrested for blowing a .10 blood alcohol level during two breath analyzer tests and putting him over the legal limit. The case went to trial and Adams was found guilty of driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or greater. He was sentenced to 96 hours in L.A. County jail, had to enroll in an alcohol treatment and counseling program and attend 60 AA meetings and five years probation, the papers state.

In 2003, he plead guilty to driving under the influence and was placed on three years probation, which included a three-month first offender alcohol and drug education and counseling program and restricted him from driving anywhere but to and from work for 90 days.

As if all that weren’t bad enough, in April of this year, the Executive Director of the California Medical Board asked the state to consider revoking or suspending Adams’ physician and surgeon’s certificate.

Im too sad right now and my heart goes out to Kanye

http://www.kanyewestfoundation.org/

Didn’t this dude used to have a talkshow?

I swear his name is madddd familiar.

I think it was that Men are from Mars, women are from venus show…..

damn…..hopefully this will put so much light on these surgeons.

how do you send anyone home after having their body open for eight hours?

I am so sad for Mr. Kanye West, my heart goes out to him and his family at such a horrible time.

damn

Thats fucced up……..Rip dr. west

Damn shame.

Taking a Closer Look at the Stories Ignored by the Mainstrean Media

damn shame. all for what? damn money. Kanye doesn’t need to hear that his mother might have died from a money hungry fool. I hope they have someone to deal with the legal issues.

This is so sad. This si wjy you need to do research before getting any major surgeries especially plastic. There are so many shady doctors out there, people please, please be careful.

how could he send her home? always request to stay in the hospital for such major procedures. the minimum of 24 hrs

wow .. this is such a tragedy – i just wished that dr. west would have done some research and/or followed the other surgeons guidelines and received an o.k. – but i’m sure kanye will make him pay one way or another – truly sad

Research your doctor. Find out if she/he is board certified in the particular discipline of medicine he/she claims to have expertise. Go to the County Clerk’s office where he/she practices to see if they have ever been sued. Find out from the State Medical Board of State Regents if he/she has ever been suspended. The last action is really weak though- the medical profession always protects the doctors. They literally get away with murder!

The whole situation is so sad and tragic. My heart goes out to the West family. This physician should not be practicing medicine. Unfortunately, it seems like someone had to die for him to be stopped.

ain’t this the skin lightening guy?

This is in fact a tragedy. It is so awful for someone to loose a parent, especially one that you have a close relationship with. And on top of it, this is being played out in front of the world. Whomever posted and said ‘He gon get it’ was correct. I doubt if this man will ever practice surgery again.

My only issue is I would have thought that Dr West would have put more research into whom she selected as a doctor.

This is a very sad story and my HEART goes out to Kanye and his family.

He needs to just go ahead and hang up his hat already. TMZ is definately going to dig up ANY dirt he has on him. He picked the wrong patient to eff over.

On another note, put your trust in God. No matter what type of surgery your going in for, corrective, cosmetic, emergency, never put your faith in man. Ask that God will Guide the hand of the doctor, that you may wake up and see your loved ones. Kanye should read the book of Job. God is testing him, and I pray that he makes it through this tough time.

Oh and by the way, to all who are wishing that she would have done some research. Apparently she did. Go to TMZ, and there is an article which suggests that she consulted with the doctor for at least 4 months. She went back and forth with her decision to go through with the surgery. I’m sure she did her research.

I will bring him to Naiji and inject him with the ebola virus

could it be that he was on oprah and made countless other tv appearances . Does being on tv validate your career ?

i predict , This guy will face manslaughter charges , and the prosecution could possibly go after the death penalty , if they could somehow tie it to premeditated murder. Dr Adams was not a licensed cosmetic surgeon… Why did he have to perform a surgery if he knew he was not supposed too??? Oprah , needs to start firing her background checkers.

LAWSUIT!!!

LAWSUIT!!!

LAWSUIT!!!

There are lots of news about him on internet. He become famous now. I saw his blog on http://www.meetrich.com where the people are talk about the hot stuff.

You really have to do your research before going w/ a doctor. I seen this guy on t.v. before. I am very surprised that she didnt go with someone more reputable. When I got my plastic surgery I did research on the doc and I am very happy with my girls, lol.

Kanye Gonna kick his ass then sue his ass,count on that.

Ms. West should have done her research if she wanted the surgery that bad.

DAMN ALL THAT LOOT AND SHE STILL GO AND GET SURGERY IN THE BACK SEAT OF A LINCOLN WHA THA FUK

CHECK THA NEW KNOCK “MISS CARWASH”

http://www.oprah.com/health/beauty/slide/slide_beauty_fake_08.jhtml

my concern is that her surgery lasted 8 hours….when shows out there like Dr. 90210 and then Extreme Makeover completed the same surgeries and more during the same visit and it takes less time plus their patients recoop in a facility prepared for any possible complications….this is ridiculous…not becuase it is Kanye’s mother but becuase no one should have to lose their life over something that could have possibly been prevented…Fox News was trying to allude that it was he fault for knowing that there could have been complications due to a possible hear problem and that she waffled back and forth between having the surgery and not having the surgery

This is just all around sad and it just keeps getting worse, that Doc as far as I know it is done he is gonna meet his maker soon.

Wow, maybe she should have gone to Dr. 90210 instead, he seems to be pretty good. There is no way I’d go to a Dr. who was arrested for DUI. When I was a teenager, my mom took me to this dentist (who was probably the only black one in town) to support his practice and I ended up getting an abcess. Turned out, he was an alcoholic and probably used an unsterilized tool on me. I wish my mom had sued his ass, but we NEVER went back to him again.

I agree with everyone else that said you have to your research before finalizing your decision on getting cosmetic surgery. I do recall from what I heard here on the chicago news that she had to get a agreement from her doctor before undertaking the procedure. However the cosmetic doctor did not receive any information to proceed the procedure from Donda West doctor. I do think it’s his fault for proceeding without any info from the doctor no matter what Donda West thinks. It’s the doctor’s life on the line if anything is not right and you know what? it was. She passed away from an unecessary surgery due to miscommunication from doctors RIP Donda West.

The man is not even licensed by the American Medical Association Board of Plastic Surgeons. The man took 8 hours to do the procedure – about 2x longer than the actual procedure should take. Others in the medical profession are speculating that that indicates that something went wrong on the operating table or the doc was inexperienced. Can you imagine how much blood she probably lost after being in surgery for 8 hours? Dr. Adams needs to have his license revoked and serve at least 25 to life in a state penitentiary.

No matter what type of medical procedure you are going to do it is always wise to investigate your physician, if it is at all possible. Some doctors barely graduate from medical school and get certified by the skin of their teeth. Others are greedy and for the love of $$$ agree to undertake medical procedures that they are not licensed to do. Some are just downright shady and will let you leave knowing that there is something wrong with you but won’t tell you. Trust me I know.

RIP Dr. West and my prayers go out to Kanye and his family.

Doctors are supposed to save lives, not take them! This is criminal, too. They need to arrest him for neglient homicide!

damn thats crazy..what kinda quack doctor is he..that is a shame foreal

i don’t understand, why couldn’t she have gone to the exact same plastic surgeon that all the other celebrities with *successful* results go to? did she just feel more comfortable because the dude is of the same race and because he’s on TV? there are lots of quacks on TV.

And to think that this man hosts a show on the Discovery Channel about plastic surgery. He is sort of like their expert consultant. How do you host a show about a medical procedure that you yourself are not licensed/certified to perform? I see the Discovery Channel pulling a Dog Chapman on his ass and cancelling the show or at least replacing him with an actual license in that field. The sad part is that my fiance who works in the medical profession actually watches his show and thinks highly of him (“Baby, this man is GOOD!). SMH! As soon as he gets out of the OR I’m gonna call him to tell him about his favorite doctor.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Kanye and his family and friends, may GOD be with you and give you peace.

Dude has a show on Discovery Health about plastic surgery. He doesn’t do any procedures on the show himself, he just narrates the cases that are done. But he has had training as a plastic surgeon, so he is knowledgeable and experienced. It sounds like he go too greedy with the fame that might come with doing a procedure on Kanye West’s mom and didn’t assess the needs of the patient. Anybody in the medical field, even a med. student like me, knows that there are pulmonary (lung)/heart failure risks when doing anything that requires you to be anesthetized. Especially on older people. This is sad. The doctor’s role is to protect the patient to his/her best ability. He should have known better.

From a clinic aspect as a nurse….

1. This is a TERRIBLE TRAGEDY but she went AMA (Against Medical Advice) and unfortunatley paid the price. THIS DR should have his medical privilages taken away because HE TOO went AMA and THAT is worse cuz he is a Dr

2. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A PLASTIC SURGEON TO DO PLASTIC SURGERY IN AMERICA!!!! All you have to do is be a doctor which mean you can have a regular ol’ family practice doctor doing rhinoplasty on the side for a few extra dollars because doctors ARE NOT RICH, THEY DON’T GET PAID LIKE THEY USED TO thanx to insurance and HMO’s

3. I am a black woman, but I do NOT go to black doctors. Is is prejudice….maybe you can view it that way but I see it like this….Jews and Asians have been doing it for MUCH longer so I will take my chances with them. They have families with GENERATIONS of doctors in them. No one RACE is better than the other, but some races have long since had privilages that we are just now getting in the last 40 years. It may not be right but it is a decision based on experience and not race for me.

And this is why I don’t support black owned businesses

Here we go again! This woman was told by her Doctor that it was not safe to operate. Then she goes to another Doctor and have it done anyway. This is a two way street here folks.

TMZ is full of bull shi!. They do stories all the time about their favorite Star’s who are breaking the laws daily , even as I type, and nothing ever get done to those white people! {Britney/Paris/Lindsay/Bloom]

If Dr. West , did her home work, then there should have been no operation! People are quick to listen to only what they want to hear. She had already been told No, by her Doctor.

I’m surprised that he is still practicing after being arrested for DUIs. I guess nobody turned him in or considered him to be at risk for poor judgement. Tell me, what kind of doctor do you want to see: One that is of sound mind and makes the best decisions, or one that isn’t there altogether. Be careful.

Main media is blaming Donda for her own death.

I’m so upset by all this. i can’t imagine what the family must be going thru.

Don’t write of all black doctors, because many times no other doctor will treat you with the same care or respect only because you are a black patient. It goes both ways, trust.

I meant “write off.”

You know, I hate to say this, but vanity is what most likely killed Dr. West (RIP), it had been a known medical fact that Dr. West had heart problems, thus,this is why it makes since why most of the 90210 doctors would not perform the surgery on her, thus, she went to a back street shady azz doctor who decided that we would most likely do it for the dough, and not for the ethics that he should had advised her on other options and or decided not to risk it himself. I SHMDH…This did not need to happen. All the smarts and being a professor, did not heed the ignorance that preceded her unwarranted death, she should had researched this more, before risking her life. This is the same cat who has a show on the Discovery Health Channel, and showed Lisa Raye’s/the Brat’s mother getting the same and or similar procedure last year on the channel. SHDH.

Why didn’t she do the research?

This is a shame……..we all should research what type of complaints and/or lawsuits have been filed against doctors who are going to perform surgery on us or family members if time permits.

Sounds like his license should have been snatched long ago.

Damn. *SMH* A doctor without integrity is nothing new though.

SMH @ People are acting like he meant to kill her……

Unfortunately his career is over though……

I’m pretty sure that plenty of people went to a doctor for something, only to get turned down and go to another doctor.

It’s called “getting a second opinion”

It was just an accident, nothing more

This is SO sad. I can’t understand WHY she would choose someone who has the kid of reputation he does. So sad and unfortunate.

There is some true ignorance on this board-especially the comment about not going to a black doctor. Pure ignorance and I bet you’d be the first to get offended when a white person says that they don’t feel safe around black people.

Race is not even a quotient here. Greed, pride, stubbornness are, but race? Come on.

Dew ,you’re right. And I haven’t written them off. I have the best black females doctors (OB-GYN and my primary care), and my dentist is an outstanding practitioner of African descent whom I’ve been going to for over 10 years.

Thanks Whatthehell. I was like WHAT????

The truth comes out! I knew something was “off” when he ran to TMZ to tell his “Side”. They are NOT CNN.

I agree@WTH? That is the most ignant ish I ever read. The black doctors I have had have been exemplary, that is just some backwards ass still on the plantation mentality.

I do not think anyone will know the cause of death until the full autopsy is performed. This is why I don’t like the reporting of this story in pieces, because it’s still developing, and people are heartbroken over this woman’s passing, and that needs to be respected.

*stands up and claps* Thank you Whatthehell! I have said it before and I’ll say it again…ignorance is NOT bliss!

Anyways, I knew there had to be some type of malpratice in this situation…the entire thing is very unfortunate. However, if you are going to have a major surgery you should ALWAYS look into a doctor’s background and criminal history. You would be surprised at some of these folks…don’t trust fast-talk and a smile!

DR REY IS NOT ABPS CERTIFIED EITHER. JUST FYI.

While it’s definitely recommended that you get a surgeon that is (click on my link for Cosmetic Surgery post), many aren’t and that’s because people are deciding to go into cosmetic surgery later and later. It’s a lucrative field. My understanding is that Dr. Adams has a lot of experience. He certainly markets himself as an experienced surgeon and is well-respected in the field. It’s also standard to send people home after these procedures, though wealthier clients choose recovery facilities. There are risks with surgery. I’m not saying anyone is or isn’t at fault. Just reserve your judgment and racist comments. It’s disgusting that a black site would refer to this as “FUBU.” Many black people choose surgeons of color because they are generally more aware of the fact that scarring is particularly a problem with patients of color. Breast reduction and tummy tucks leave huge scars.

The most disturbing piece here are the DUIs to me. If you know a good bit about cosmetic surgery, you’d know that certain times, procedures take longer because every body is different and presents different challenges. There could also have been problems with anesthesia or bleeding. I’m not defending Dr. Adams. Just don’t prejudge. This happens all over the country with the best doctors.

@ i love……..”Snickers”

yeah. just because u have a doctorate, doesn’t mean u are the smartest person in the world.

and research means more than just talking with 1 doctor for 4 months it means researching his past, talking to other clients, and STILL getting 3-4 ADDITIONAL quotes/recommendations from other doctors.

i feel for kanye’s loss. some people die because of fate but all deaths aren’t fate related. it isn’t always “time” for someone to die, unless its from natural causes or disease. sometimes you can avoid an early death. ie. drug overdoses, driving drunk, driving too fast in the rain, unnecessary and risky behavior, etc.

just think about it.

@The Goddess. He didn’t have a rep. cuz drs. protect each other. Unless you know where to dig and really do the research — you won’t find out. Also, many folks confuse recommendations with research. Half the time, the patients were just lucky.

I cant believe some of the racist crap I am seeing here. Too bad I have to go, b/c I normally wouldnt let that ish slide. Just black doctors are shady? Jews and Asians have been doing it longer so they are better? What kind of Bell Curve genetic advantage crap is that. Each of us only get 1 life. Youre not gonna be a smarter doctor just b/c your parent is one. My dad was a preacher. I wouldnt dare step into a pulpit.

Talk to you later, Buckwheat!

Dew

Don’t write of all black doctors, because many times no other doctor will treat you with the same care or respect only because you are a black patient. It goes both ways, trust.

I went to a white doctor for my surgery and him and his whole staff where extremely wonderful. Bottomline is dont get plastic surgery from someone who didnt go to school to be a plastic surgent, its just not smart.

Its not a matter, if he did something wrong, she was already told that she had medical complications and it wasnt a good idea, its very unfortunate, but people need to understand its important to love yourself for the way you look, even if you dont like yourself,change in a normal way, not a dramatic one. There was nothing wrong with this lady, she was pretty. chocoloate woman.Its very sad. My prayers are with the family

Let me say this:

When I was 13 I had scoliosis, that is a crooked spine. For regular cases, a brace would fit it in 2-3 years. My case required surgery. My doctor was a black man from Memphis named Dr. Alvin Crawford. He told me everything, even though I was young, but I was smart then, as I am now. He told me and my mama about the medicines, pain killers, everything! He did the surgery which lasted 12 hours. But I recovered and I’m 5’6 now. This goes to show you that NOT EVERY BLACK DOCTOR IS LIKE THIS GUY.

DO NOT put down all black doctors and black nurses due to one bad apple!

My mama is a nurse! She was the one who helped in my recovery! I resent whoever said they do not see black doctors!

What’s REALLY inportant is she was SHOPPING for a doctor who would say yes after she was told to get her heart cleared.

This was about VANITY over common sense. She owed it to her family to have been more prudent with her choices.

Please ignore ignorant posters (Unkle Kracka), people. They are not worth your time.

I suport black doctors. If people are too eager to operate you know you have a quack.

Like Stewie on Family Guy said: “Don’t let a black doctor operate on me.”

I hope Kanye sues him for every cent he’s got.

I feel bad for Kanye West, as I know firsthand how hard it is to lose a parent. However, this intelligent woman did not do her research very well. All this information is out there on the doctor, and doesn’t take much to uncover. She had the money to go to a reputable surgeon, but a reputable surgeon probably didn’t want to perform the surgery because of her preexisting medical condition. Sounds like she wanted the surgery performed anyway, so she had it done where she could get it done.

On another note, if Kim Kardashian died having bigger butt implants put in, you all would be on here saying she got what she deserved for being so fake.

Dr. Donde West looked beautiful enough to me without a tummy tuck. That’s fake too. Women quit trying to be something you are not and be grateful for what the Lord gave you.

That was for Unc, not U Notch.

AWWW HELL, THIS NEGRO DONE MESSED IT UP FOR EVERY BLACK PLASTIC SURGEON…….

@ notch

you sure your daddy didnt get that job thru that nigger quota system

St. Jude (in Memphis) houses a vast # of great doctors of different backgrounds.

The best center for sick children.

If I had dough like that, I would take my time, look around, get referrals and prolly get … the best dam doctor in the world.

Wow.

http://www.theblackactor.com/

Yes. At the time, I live in Cincinnati when Dr. Alvin Crawford selected my case! Now, I live in Memphis myself, and and that black doctor made my back straight! I thank God for that, yet my heart breaks for Donda and her family.

Tell me this woman didn’t select a non- board certified plastic surgeon. Please.

Please tell me she picked a board certified plastic surgeon.

http://www.theblackactor.com/

I can’t believe vanity won out over judgement and this woman picked a non board certified plastic surgeon to work on her!

I hope I’m misinformed.

Dr. Dondra West was well aware of the risks she was taking since she had received the medical opinions of other qualified doctors. She wanted the cosmetic procedures bad enough to risk her life for it, and unfortunately, she paid a terrible price. There are shady and unethical people in every profession who will give people what they want, even if it is bad for them. The illegal drug trade is a prime example.

Michael Jackson made similar mistakes with all his facial surgeries. After the second nose job, every reputable, ethical plastic surgeon he went to refused to do more procedures because it would severely damage the structural integrity of his face. He didn’t want to hear that, so he found unethical doctors who would continue cutting on his face until he became the freak show that he is today.

So sad. My condolences go out to the West family.

I really wanna be black!

I really wanna be black!

I really wanna be black!

I really wanna be black!

I really wanna be black!

I really wanna be black!

@ Notch

Then you should be proud that your daddy is one of the good ones, a real credit to his race. You fortunate that you and your daddy probably came from a proud tradition of house niggers instead of field niggers, house niggers a lot smarter then field niggers. That dont mean that i would let him oporate on me but he can oporate on my dog tho.

another note, those doctors on dr.90210 THOSE ARE INCREDIBLE BLACK DOCTORS!! so, you really shouldn’t just make a blanket ignorant comment as ‘that’s why i don’t go to black doctors’ – this is one of those situations where – yes, unfortunately both are to blaim but at the end God saw it fit she end her chapter now. So, all things work together for a greater reason. May her soul/body rest in peace. As for this topic, I’m done with it.

What up peeps. I have to say this brother here is f**ked in the game. He better hope law dont try to charge his azz with some type criminal joint. From what I’ve seen, it appears he released her from his care and whatever went tragically wrong took place at her home. Why did the soon to be ex doc let her leave? Did he give he check her out properly before he released her from his care? Are they going to draw blood to see whats kickin around in his system? He messed up on the WRONG one. Any loss of life like this is SAD, but he messed up on a real high profile person. This man has now got MAJOR PROBLEMS.

More and most importantly, God bless Kanye and all his family. He is perceived negatively by some, but I give the brother MAD props for honoring and loving his Mom.

Peace.

@Bruhmann, I agree totally, plus she is a doctor herself she should have check everything out herself. All the money her son has why would she risk her life dealing with a “Butcher”!!And this man was recently sued twice, why didn’t she check that out. It’s gonna be alot of if’s and why’s and why not’s, I just hope this wakes up alot of people and reconsider getting this fast process of losing weight instead of losing it naturally by excersing.

R.I.P

@ Bruhman

You’re right. She was warned against the surgery due to a pre-existing medical condition that could cause her to go into cardiac arrest. Despite that, she proceeded with the surgery… and failed to do her homework.

There’s always gonna be a doc who’s willing to do it.

Recently my friend went to see about getting lasik. She was devastated cuz she wasn’t a candidate and had been desperately wanting this surgery. But this same doc said she would be suited for another procedure – PGK or something, I forgot.

My friend got a second opinion from a very respected doc who felt this was a bad idea and downright refused to do the procedure.

I’m glad my friend had the second opinion.

Doctors – half of ‘em are shuysters, anyway.

I’m just sayin.

http://www.theblackactor.com/

It’s tragic.

SMH @ the IGNORANCE…

Hopefully the folks (especially the person that said she was a nurse) that said Black docs are no good are just joking…I sincerely hope so!

Uncle Kracka is probably the idiot formerly known as Big Jim who would come on here posting as a white racist. SMDH @ all the crazy bastids on the internet!!

Okay your white male lover, uncle cracker! STFU

the funny part is that since bush has been in office, he passed a new bill that limits the amount one can sue a doctor for malpratice. i believe dead for elective cosmitic sugery its only like 100,000 max they can get

I hope this so-called dr. has his medical insurance premiums paid up. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does not. To the idiots who think that Black doctors are the problem: You know how many whites apply to Howard Medical School? Do you know why they instituted photo ids to take the state medical exams about 18 years ago? Rich kids were paying folks to take the exams for them — at least here in NY. Trust me, those rich kids weren’t black. Ever heard of Olivia Goldsmith (author of First Wives Club)? She died during cosmetic surgery at supposedly one of the best hospitals in NYC. And she was the second one to die in cosmetic surgery at that same hospital in the same year. Her dr. wasn’t black. The problem isn’t race — it is the medical profession which protects its own regardless of race and has inadequate disciplinary policy.

JUST at the height of his Career this happens.

to make the statement ” I won’t go to a black doctor” is sheer ignorance and only perpetuates the myth that Blacks are not as good as their white counter parts….there are plenty of white doctors including but not limited to Jews who pay out settlements yearly for sub standard service…..come on people

I feel for Kanye and his lost but his mother (Dr. West) made a bad decision when she was told to wait until her health improved …

I hope that he is able to move forward and have peace of mind and solace.

:{

OMG, I can’t believe this. I watch him on that medical show all the time. What the hell is going on here?

Okay but why is Ms. West going to this Doctor….honestly that was not smart at all on her part—and if all else is true regarding her previous medical condition then she did this in complete vanity….sad way to go….

is he the dude that has that show on “Discovery Health”??? WTF???? seriously… its a darn shame… everybody should get sued for this… Discovery health cus the lead us to believe he knew what the hell he was doin… n his ass!!! malpractice forreal!!

Im just glad he wasnt white or you blacks would be crying racism.

lol^^^^^

first off, all of my prayers go out to kanye and his family. i was really trippin over the fact that his ma died. it’s just sad that she had to die at the hands of some idiot ass doctor. her death is probably really about to put plastic surgery on blast. everybody’s entitled to do whatever they want to with their bodies but when u get plastic surgery, there are just certain risks that u take. EXTENSIVE research must be done b4 one goes under the knife.

You do not have to be board certified to perform plastic surgery. Ya’ll are blowing things out of preportion and tarnishing this man’s reputation without knowing the facts!

THIS JUST IN….CNN reports that Dr. West’s autopsy will be performed today. Scheduled to start in about 30 mins.

@ ~*~IslandNik~*~

He is on Discovery Health: Before & After. I agree w/ you, I didn’t know he wasn’t a board certified plastic surgeon.

What evr happened to using Dortor Reys on 90210? With all the money Kanye is making sje should have done more research on this guy. I being a regular joe have done that when getting my breast reduction.

I don;t play around with my body and if I had money like that I woudl be be extremely anal about selecting a doctor…Really strange and she is a smart lady…

my heart aches for Kanye its hard to lose one’s mother let alone hearing all kinds of gossips and rumours of her plastered all over the media and www. i pray that God will give him the strenght and faith to deal with this tragic event.

this is a test Kanye and am sure u will pass it and get through just know that your mother is in a better place. i hope her soul will rest in God’s heavenly peace

@trinichica – I know right? dr. reys stays excited about doing a GREAT JOB and takes pride in his work, no sloppy anything coming from him – he is the best, hell anyone on that show 90210 should be the ONLY CHOICE for anyone in hollywood. mama had the money, trust, why she chose adams over them only she would have known

@Lara Wright

I agree. It seems people are trying to make him out to be a common man on the street with no experience. Plastic surgeries go wrong all the time. The only reason this is being heard around the world is b/c it’s Kanye’s mother. Wait and get more facts. Hey everybody messes up. Fortunately, my mess ups have never killed anyone but you never know.

THE REAL STORY IS THAT OPRAH REFERRED DR DONDA WEST TO DR JAN ADAMS FOR THE SURGERY!!!!! CHECK OUT http://www.stylerazzi.blogspot.com for the details about this new development!!!! It’s still a very sad situation. No matter what develops, her passing was very unfortunate

Dr. Rey of Dr. 90210 is not board certified either and has had a number of complaints against him as well. Both of these quacks have shows and both have basically been co-signed by Oprah by even allowing them on her show.

I went to the stylerazzi link and saw it was on hollywood access who is the only news source saying this about Oprah.

Patient Claims Dr. Adams Got Her Pregnant

Posted Nov 13th 2007 1:57PM by TMZ Staff

Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Nurse!

In another stunning lawsuit, a patient of Dr. Jan Adams claims he got her drunk after surgery, had intercourse with her and got her pregnant.

In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Teana Lucas claims she was a bartender and Dr. Adams was a customer. She says he agreed to perform liposuction on her upper arms and abdomen. The plaintiff, an aspiring model and actress, alleged as the procedure was about to begin, Dr. Adams “whispered in plaintiff’s ear that he ‘loved’ her, that he was ‘going to marry her.”

According to the suit, after the procedure, he started making house calls to her home. On November 24, 2004, the suit alleges Dr. Adams told her she should get dressed and that he was taking her out for dinner. After three glasses of wine, the heavily-medicated plaintiff claims she was “heavily intoxicated.” That’s when, according to the suit, Dr. Adams took her to his house and had sexual intercourse with her.

Lucas claims she became pregnant and Dr. Adams wanted her to keep the baby but she didn’t. Eventually, she says Dr. Adams referred her to an OB/GYN who could “take care of the problem.”

Lucas also claims he botched her two surgeries. She sued for sexual battery and malpractice.

Adams denied all the allegations, but settled the case.

Tmz did their homework.

There are two sides to every story. We really don’t know all the facts. Judgement should be reserved until the full story evolves.

It’s apparent that Dr. West wanted surgery. What’s not apparent is if she did any research…Dr. Adams may have been referred to her. We don’t know.

It’s apparent that Dr. Adams has made some bad decisions regarding this personal life (driving under the influence). What’s not so apparent is how those malpractice lawsuits came about.

Although this is a sad situation, if anything we need to learn something from this woman’s tragic death. Women suffer from self-esteem and physical appearance self acceptance issues continually. This is our opportunity to love ourselves in the package we are given.

No person will ever live up to an airbrushed beauty…not even the person who was airbrushed…because it’s not real.

As for SunGoddess. He did the surgery on one day. Got her drunk and knocked her up another day. That’s happening right now. Doctors and patients have relationships. She didn’t call the cops on the “rape”. I ain’t saying she’s a goldigga…

Shame shame shame

DR REY IS NOT ABPS CERTIFIED

HE BOTCHED A HAIR TRANSPLANT ON HIS OWN BROTHER. ONE OF HIS SISTERS SUED HIM TO GET MONEY (7 FIGURES) TO CARE FOR HIS BROTHER WHO IS NOW PERMANENTLY DISABLED. IF YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE PLASTIC SURGERY, PICK A GOOD SURGEON. THAT’S NOT GOING TO NECESSARILY BE A CELEBRITY SURGEON. DR. ADAMS HIMSELF IS A CELEB DOCTOR WITH A SHOW, A PRODUCT LINE AND MANY APPEARANCES OF HIS OWN. JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE SOMEONE ON TV DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD TRUST THEM. THE ONLY DRS ON DR. 90210 THAT I WOULD EVEN CONSIDER ARE DRS. MATLOCK, NASSIF, ELLENBOGEN AND ALTER

This is truly upsetting….

Dr. West did not have to die so young.

There is no way that I will believe that Oprah had anything to do with this. He was famous apart from appearing on her show. I do think that she gave the false impression though that he was one of the best in the field. I just can’t believe that she did a referral. Why? Because Oprah thinks she a psychologist and would have spent the better part of a year trying to uncover why Dr. West would want this surgery and then do an in depth report of how the pressures of society can topple even the strongest, most educated individual. You know how Oprah works. I loves me some Opie but shes bordering on being a megalomaniac.

The buck stops with the licensed professional. Okay, so she wanted the surgery and probably should not have had it. But that is why professionals are licensed — so that expertise trumps emotion.

I saw on http://www.mediatakeout.com that one of Donda’s family members was upset because the mainstream media was blaiming the victim for her own death. I can feel their resentment on that, so, I can also say that the family of this doctor may feel that he is not at fault, either. This is why I think no one should be reporting this until the facts come out. All I will say about this from now on is well wishes. That’s it.

This hurt so bad I can’t even comment. My heart goes out to Kanye he was an only child. Bless his heart and this loser took his mother life.

Call me crazy, but I don’t think uncle krack rocks is white.

You know, I feel terrible for Kanye and his loss…but dammit man, did she not do her research??? All those surgeons out there in L.A. performing thousands of operations a year, esepcially on the wealthy and/or celebs…this just doesn’t make any sense.

Forget celebrity endorsements and TV shows…Ionno. I feel so bad for the family, but given the info leaking on this cat, this story has taken a sharp turn for the worst.

Why are people dragging Oprah into this?

Black folks are a trip. Never miss an opportunity to hate on Oprah. If she did recommend Dr. Adams, so what? Dr. West was obviously an intelligent lady who wouldn’t do anything just cuz Oprah said so. Puhleeease!

I swear he look like Karl Malone. Just saying. God Bless the West family.

WhatThe, I agree. Oprah has enough on her plate without folks trying to throw her into the mix. I know that they are some out there that can’t wait for her downfall…but this ain’t it!!

And I do agree that before we tear Dr. Adams to shreds, let’s get more info. so that we can form intelligent opinions based on facts.

@melissa

really? where can i find info about mr 90210

@ Lili

I agree. RESEARCH….

more money = excellent research

It’s really sad that some of you on here find this a time to laugh and bash people. Someone’s life was taken and the disrespect and ignorence is discusting. My heart goes out to the West family and for all of you that have taken this time to bash one another I will pray for you. We all have to go from here, it’s sad that she had to go the way she did, but God said it was her time and we all know he doesn’t make mistakes. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!

I hope it isn’t true about Oprah — I wouldn’t want to see her cred continue to be tarnished. Again, recommendation is not research (doctor and condition.

it’s really sad that she died. how did she meet this Dr? If he’s got such a bad record how come she didn’t know bout it.

As soon as I saw the DUI’s and 2 not 1, 2 cases that got closed on his ass I’M DONE. no more consultation appts needed..

When I had my surgery (reduction) I got obsessed with my dr like a stalker ex, I wanted to know everything about him,I talked to previous patients, my general Dr about him, local records, I’ve never been through nothing like that before, I watched his moods each visit, his attitude dispostion, My mom made him pray before the surgery (never plan on doing it again b/c I’m not totally happy with the outcome but I think that had alot to do with $$) your life is on the line on that cold ass table, and I’m so sorry for this loss, and I do believe this was a very smart woman very well connected, so the question is why choose HIM? DUI and court case info is not buried or confidential, and should have been the 1st thing looked into, so in her RESEARCH, why wasnt this an issue for her?

but I’m sorry, a Dr with a DUI performing a major surgery on me will not be considered. You don’t bounce back from DEATH. I dont care if my mom’s recommended him, I’m going with the facts, and the fact remains he is a drunk DRIVER who make mistakes big enough to make it to court, Your not operating on me PERIOD.

From Chicago Tribune:

Here are ten questions to ask yourself before undergoing any surgical proceedure, according to Chicago’s Dr. Steven Dayan who specializes in plastic surgery of the face including rhinoplasty, facelifts, eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty), chin implants, lip augmentation, and fat transfers.

1. Is your doctor experienced? This is perhaps the most important question you can ask. Which of the procedure you are inquiring about has your doctor performed and how often?

2. Have there been multiple malpractice claims or license restrictions/reprimands from your doctor? You can check this at state professional Web sites.

3. Is your physician is board certified? Multiple societies certify doctors to perform cosmetic procedures; there is not just one board that exclusively regulates safe surgical procedures. Some certifying boards are the American Association of Facial Plastic Surgery, American Society of Plastic Surgery, American Society of Dermatological Surgery, American Society of Cosmetic Surgery and the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

4. If you are undergoing general or monitored anesthesia, will there be an anesthesiologist present?

Surgicenters are proven safe but you must be certain it is accredited by the state, and/or a governing regulatory body like The American Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers, or The Joint Commission.

5. If you have a chronic health condition or are over the age of 40, do you need a general physical exam prior to surgery?

6. Have you stopped all aspirin-containing products, ibuprofen and natural alternative products such as gingko biloba, St. Johns Wart, garlic, ginger or ginseng? All of these products can cross react with anesthesia.

7. Can you speak to other patients who have had this procedure with your surgeon?

8. Has the surgeon experienced any complications with this procedure in the past? If so, how are they handled?

9. Will your smoking or other activities increase the risk of complication during surgery?

I hope it isn’t true about Oprah — I wouldn’t want to see her cred continue to be tarnished. Again, recommendation is not research (doctor and condition

_______________________________________________

I don’t see what difference it makes if Oprah did recommend this man. It would be different if she were recommending a restaurant. You make like it and you may not but plastic surgery!? No matter what someone’s recommendation is as an adult (and surely she had enough sense since she had a doctorate)you have to do the research of whose hands you put your life in. Oprah didn’t do the surgery.

@AND

See my earlier posts. I emphasize my point that that research is not recommendation by commenting on the rumor, and it is just now a rumor, that Oprah may have recommended this doctor to Donda West. On a personal note, I just hope that it isn’t true about Oprah cuz Oprah’s had some not so nice outcomes to her good intentions as of late such as the book that turned out to be fiction last year, the scandal at her school. Rightly or wrongly, mess can tarnish you.

Wow, Dr. Goddess, I love that poem (primping my ‘fro)…deep!!

Dr. Goddess.

I cannot add or take away from what you said cause I share the same sentiments. I will say thank you for you beautiful poem.

Dr. Ellis — what a beautiful poem!

For the sake of fairness, since ery’one wants to fair to the West’s I’ll say a few things about this Dr and the Cosmetic Surgery hustle:

1) Many Beverly Hills Surgeons have DUI’s, you would be surprised how many Pilots do too. Certain jobs seem to have more than their quotas of drunks.

2)Many Dr.s performing cosmetic surgery are not ABPS certified. There are quite a few whose work is in high demand that are not.

3) Many cosmetic surgeons perform surgery that many would consider questionable. When people are pushing the boundaries in search of beauty, sometimes things go wrong and there are lawsuits.

There is nothing this man has done that Michael Jackson’s Surgeons, those doing penile implants, those giving people over 65 that have too many face-lifts, more face lifts, have not done.

4) What is questionable is operating on a patient with heart issues, if he and the Anesthesiologist did not know of the condition because it was hidden from them, then the question of incompetence does not arise.

4. If the family of the deceased feel he was incompetent, they should take Dr Adams to court.

@ and

I did not sya that Oprah recommended the doc, but ppl have this vision in there heads that Oprah is so wholesome and she is just trying to save the world, that appearing on her show would merely suggest that the doc was professional, realiable, and ready to be used. Simple!!!

@Reformed GammaRay <– you know you and moms was ghetto for that, right? like, dr.’s are there to operate ONLY not hold a prayer meeting! *ROTFWLMAO!!!* leave it to black people to pray over EVERYTHING! let’s hold hands and pray over this surgery – let’s hold hands and pray pookie and dem get off on the coke and dui charges!

I resent whoever said they do not see black doctors!

^^^^^^^^^^

You can resent that muthaphucker till the COWS come home and it won’t change my opinion.

HELL NO all white, jew, asian doctors are not good???? I worked for a group of Asian/Jew specialists for 5 years and they did EVERYTHING in their power to make my life hell and they didn’t always make the best decisions. It’s part of the reason I am getting more education to get OUT of the medical field all together. It’s too much about business and not enough about people. But, I already said it’s not a race thing. It’s about who has been doing it longer.

And saying I hate myself is ridiculous to say the least but I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Wheather I hate it or NOT will not change the fact that I am going to die a black woman so that comment is completely irrelevant.

What amazes me is that the same people who will come on here and completely rip apart people’s looks are the same ones claiming that it’s all vanity. I don’t care how educated, strong or intelligent a person is. They’re still going to be judged by their looks, especially women. Look at Oprah or Hillary or Condi. These are some of the most powerful women in the world and half the time, people will judge their looks or clothes.

Aging ain’t what it used to be. I don’t think it’s at all normal, especially for an educated single mature woman, to just decide that looks don’t matter and all you want to do is retire to Florida, chill and visit her grand babies. That existence is what people make out to be ideal, but get real. Considering all the things her generation has done, the rocking chair existence really won’t cut it. Of course women in their 40s and 50s are getting more and more done.

@chantai and Trini Chica in BK

It’s so sad that people will follow someone so blindly. Don’t get me wrong I am a HUGE Oprah fan but just b/c she say “jump” I’m not gone “how high?”

I guess some people just need someone to lead them.

(No disrespect on earlier posts if it came at you that way.)

correction

*ask*

Oh F@ck That!!!

I resent whoever said they do not see black doctors!

***************************************************

well, I was the one who made that comment! I stand by it, too! I did not say you hate yourself, though; someone else said that. Your reasoning for not seeing a black doctor is on you, but you put down all black people in the profession and that is a gross generalization of ignorance. I am not calling you ignorant or the other name you gave yourself (You can resent that muthaphucker till the COWS come home) but I stand by my opinion and further add that African History highlights herbalist of Vodou, Camdomble and Santeria with actual healing powers, and for you to grossly assume all black doctors are horrible is not good. I think in time, you will change your mind, but I don’t know you. All I can do is wish you the best, my sister.

Sadly I read that another surgeon refused to do her surgery because of a pre-existing condition that he feared could cause complications — she probably was stuck going to someone shady because respectable doctors wouldn’t work on her. this is sad…and a bad example of what can happen when you try to cut corners

Oh, and @ whoever said their grandfather was one of very FEW black doctors back in the 50′s I say GOOD and I STILL DON’T CARE LMAO!!!

And I never said there were no doctors BEFORE the civil rights movement a little over 40 years ago, but it’s obvious more have become doctors AFTER the civil rights movement because YT was forced to let more in…..some because of TRUE intellegence and SOME because of affirmative action quotas????

P.S. I didn’t say that to disrespect your grandfather or your family so try not to take it personally:)

@Blackwomenjustdon’t listen:

1. Regardless of what the media portrays, DUIs are not commonplace. Even if they were, it doesn’t make them acceptable.

2. You’re absolutely right on the ABPS certification. Still, demand doesn’t equate to skill. The most sought after Park Avenue surgeons are butchers in my view. They leave women with wind swept faces and huge scars. People pay 3x the norm to go to these sought after people but it doesn’t mean they are the best qualified. You want someone who not only creates an aesthetically pleasing result but someone who has had the training specific to plastic surgery so that if complications arise, they can handle it.

3. Tummy tuck and breast reductions are pretty common. Pregnancy sometimes rips the muscles, leaving a pooch in many women. It’s something that many are very self-conscious about and so they have it fixed. They aren’t trying to look like supermodels so I don’t get the “pushing the boundaries in search of beauty.”

4. A THOROUGH physical is generally required. If he didn’t require this, he didn’t do his due diligence. For anyone, but especially for someone over 40, an ECG would be standard. Generally, the things people hide are medications or prior surgeries. The latter is more common in body dysmorphic disorder patients who fear being turned away.

Black doctors, male and female in all fields, make up 4% of the doctors in this country. So to whoever said they wouldn’t see a black doctor it’s pretty damn hard to see one anyways b/c they are scarce.

(Got the percentage from a website on doctors in US and I don’t remember which one. My roommates wants to be one and looked it up.)

This, along with other stories makes me realize that people, in general are UNWILLING to look and examine themselves as far as how they can be a better person. I am NOT TALKING ABOUT PLASTIC SURGERY! I am talking about personality and character traits. People are programmed to think of everything being cut and dry in a neat little box-including how people should act and how people should feel. But no one ever applies that to self. No one ever sees the damage they can do to their fellow man with such disregard for idle words of ignorance, and actions of the same effect!

That old bush just keeps on burning

Shares the hope of future learning , but nobody seems to show they’re learning!

I wonder will we ever feel the flame….

@and what…?

I read on a different website that she refused medical attention. This story is weird. I’ll wait for the autopsy results.

Thank you, ladies, and you are beautiful! I wasn’t sure how people were going to respond to the poem but, you know, it’s something we all struggle with. I’ve never met a woman that didn’t want to change *something* about herself and it’s what this culture encourages. And it’s a shame. I’m a young professor, hip hop generation, so when I started doing this show, the students (and everybody else, really) responded very well to it. I was just telling them I did it to have a conversation with us on another level, about all of the ideas we have in our heads—who taught this to us? Why do we believe it? How do we overcome these ideas? It’s deep. Anyway, thanks . . .

@OhF-that, new regulations forced a systemization of medical education. A lot of places had to shut down. Some of them included institutions that trained doctors of color. As far as quotas go, judging from my experience as a formerly pre-med student, it’s oh so clear that intelligence has little to do with admission. Those “affirmative action” doctors along with the rich kids who paid their way into med school still get the same education and excelled at their studies. I really don’t give a crap if my doctor got a 33 or a 40 on the MCAT. My worst experiences ever as a patient were at Johns Hopkins which has the most brilliant doctors in the country. That intelligence isn’t going to give you the great hand-eye skills to be an amazing surgeon. It doesn’t mean that you have the people skills and bedside manner to be the sort of person a patient wants. It doesn’t equate to skills. Granted, plastic surgery spots are some of the most sought after so it’s safe to say that ALL ABPS certified surgeons are brilliant.

He hosts a show on Discovery Heatlth channel. It’s called “Plastic Surgery Before and After.”

Yep. Actually, unlike Dr. 90210 and Extreme Makeover, the surgery is the focus and they don’t trivialize it like Dr. 90210 where it’s like shopping. New shoes, new tits, new car, new ass.

lacyd

Call me crazy, but I don’t think uncle krack rocks is white.

^^^^^^^^^^

Your right, he is just a black person that knows that black people are WAY TOO EASILY baited and this is entertainment for him/her.

Too easy…..

@Daria 6:12

It is not about DUIs being commonplace it is just about it being more common in high achieving men in some fields. There are also a few celebrity lawyers with DUIs. They are not winning cases by drinking in Court. DUIs have nothing to do with his professional ability, doesn’t the President have one? OK, not a good example, but u get the point.

About the thorough physical, when was the last time you saw someone that could not get a procedure done and who the hell is MJ’s Surgeon anyway? I know, two possibles and they have very respectable credentials. Somehow this man is automaticaly shady because a man with pink hair who sits at Coffee Bean on Sunset and has a blog says so.

Surgeons that did the Catwoman and FFF breast implants are not shady and are competent, yeah right. I wonder how many of the sex-change surgeries of the hater-blogger’s friends have been botched and why they are not on his blog.

Getting sued for malpractice in Hollyweird goes with the territory. A lot of the surgery pushes the boundaries of common sense. Many Doctors will say privately, if they do not do it, they are sure someone else will.

Well both of my docs are black (my gen prac., and my dentist) But ,my ob-gyn is hispanic…love them all.

Dr. Goddess, wonderful poem! Thank you for sharing.

N-Qui-Sa-Tive?

@melissa

really? where can i find info about mr 90210

===================================================

I have been scouring the Internet trying to find something and I can’t. For the life of me I can remember reading that Dr. Rey is not board certified and has had complaints lodged against him.

If anybody else has read or heard this please chime in, I know I’m not going crazy.

and what…?

Sadly I read that another surgeon refused to do her surgery because of a pre-existing condition that he feared could cause complications — she probably was stuck going to someone shady because respectable doctors wouldn’t work on her. this is sad…and a bad example of what can happen when you try to cut corners

————————————————–

Here is where Jan Adams runs into problems. One doc has said he refused to do the procedures until she saw an internist and recommended one to her. Well, assuming she knew she had pre-existing conditions she knew it would be evident once an internist did a work up.

Drum roll please………….

Dr. Jan Adams IS an internist. Leads me to believe he checked her out and ignored it or did no physical at all and just saw dollar signs. He of all people should have sent her away.

Apparently, Dr. Rey has some self-loathing issues to work out himself since his real name is Roberto Miguel Rey as opposed to Robert Rey. I’m surprised he didn’t just go all the way and translate his last name to King.

@Blackwomenjustdontlisten:

*any reputable physician would turn someone with a compromising health condition away like the other surgeon did. Dr. Aboolian or something turned her away. Do you know what the incentive is to turn people away? Oh yeah. Complications and death. Even sleazy no-ABPS-certification Dr. Rey turns down people on Dr. 90210 due to their physical or mental health or just because he doesn’t think they should get something done.

Lawsuits go with the territory of practicing medicine in general. Yes, they can go to someone else. See? Dr. Aboolian turned her away. She went to Dr. Adams. Whose reputation and livelihood just took a giant hit? The fact that there are unscrupulous surgeons out there doesn’t exempt you from following the Hippocrattic oath not to mention common sense. It isn’t a game. People’s lives are at stake. The people who do the right thing come out on top. Also, considering the demand for cosmetic surgery in that area, both from locals and tourists, it’s absurd to make it seem like he didn’t have a bunch of people lined up at the door. Well-known doctors have that great luxury so you can’t even infer that he’d be losing money by not doing a complicated procedure on a compromised patient. Heck, if you want to make loads of money, do the short easy procedures. Few complications. More money. Why do you think that former Big Brother winner turned plastic surgeon just does peels and injectables basically? He’s making more money/hour than if he were in surgery.

The fact that this man is an internist just amazes me becaus

Observatrice, how is dropping a letter from your name self-hatred? His Mormon adopted family probably called him Robert.

I have heard of and seen Dr Jan Adams perform several surgeries on the show plastic surgeries before and after on the discovery health channel-he is the host of the show. Most of those plastic surgeons are not board certified, but that doesn’t mean they are not qualified. It’s obvious something went wrong in the operating room for her surgery to take 8 hours. Thats probably why the previous surgeons denied her surgery. She knew she was not physically healthy enough for the surgery, but vanity is a powerful thing. She knew the risk and she still sought out another surgeon. Money also is a powerful thing, she might have paid Dr. Adams more just to do the surgery because of her health risk involved. We don’t know what really happened. Hopefully time will tell with the autopsy. It is a sad situation, but all surgery carry of risk of death-so it’s not always the surgeon being incompitent-these things just happen, and more often than you realize.

@daria

I just find it curious that if his legal name is Roberto Miguel Rey, Jr. and that is what is on his medical license, and he promotes himself as a medical doctor/surgeon — then why not use the legal name which is on the medical license? He is a Jr. so obviously there is a Roberto Miguel Rey, Sr. Also, these days Mormons have temples everywhere — even in Harlem so even if he does have Mormon connections, Mormon doesn’t necessarily mean Anglo anymore.

The Mormon family adopted him from Brazil and they lived in one of those states that you can’t identify on the Western part of the country. I don’t think it was Utah but it was around Utah. Years ago, basically if you adopt a kid from elsewhere, the goal was assimilation. That’s why there are so many older confused transracial adoptees. The silver lining is that it’s taught people how not to go about things.

RED, if your guess is right, he will lose his license because that is reckless disregard for a patient’s safety. The state of Cali doesn’t care what the patient wants.

@daria:

As you say, “That’s why there are so many confused older transracial adoptees”. If, if that is Rey’s problem, do I want him to perform plastic surgery on me? Sounds like he is running from something — like his name for starters — and if he has a scalpel I don’t want him running towards me or anyone.

ahahahahaa! shut up Neecy! bout to make me spit out my cranberry juice lmao!! You know black saved mama’s aint playin bout they babies!

FYI That may be TMI, had my surgery per Dr. recommendation, for my back really, boulders were too heavy..

Dr. Rey is not ABPS certified so I wouldn’t be going to him to begin with.

I remember seeing LisaRaye and her mom on TLC (cable channel). I remember her mother had plastic surgery and the surgery didn’t turn out right and she wanted this doctor (Jan Adams) to redo the surgery. Her mom surgery turned out to be a disaster. Her thighs was awful looking. Her and LisaRaye had a consultation with this doctor and he agreed to do the surgery. The surgery turn out great. They shown “before” and “after” pictures before the surgery.

I can’t remember the name of the show, but I know it aired on TLC every week.

Her and LisaRaye

Donde West, PhD spent her entire career researching. You don’t get a PhD otherwise. Too bad she didn’t do it when it came to having surgery against the advice of other doctors.

Dr. West made mistakes, but if the doctor was truly at fault, they should lock him up! You have to do research when considering plastic surgery. Damn shame…

http://www.macfat.info

I doubt that she didn’t do research. She supposedly had seen other surgeons and booked and canceled recovery care several times. I doubt you do that without knowing about the procedure. Plus in general, people generally don’t think bad things will happen to them. It wasn’t a matter of research. It was more of getting her health condition under control before getting work done or realizing that her health would not allow her to safely undergo the procedure. It’s more about picking the right doctor and if a doctor is telling you what you want to hear, it clouds your judgment.

The Doctors on TV turn people away when the cameras are rolling, but cosmetic surgery is a hustle, make no mistake about it and most of the Surgeons on the hustle do the same things. Why don’t you find out who MJ’s surgeons are and see if what you are saying applies to them.

Also PATIENTS LIE. There are many patients signing in at the Abortion clinic that they have had less than three abortions whereas it is their 5th or 6th.

Like I said previously, if the survivors of the deceased feel there is negligence, they should sue and let a Jury decide after hearing the facts of the case.

@ daria — this sums up the root of the problem — the beginning of the end…

___________________________________________________It wasn’t a matter of research.

The autopsy will take 6-8 weeks. She had breast reduction and a tummy tuck from what I saw on tv.

He was on that “The View” type show for men I believe. I wonder if she got a referral to him.

he need his a$$ kicked!!!

Yeah Observatrice,

Dr Rey hates himself so much that he went against his wife’s wishes and returned back to his homeland. From jump start of Dr 90210, Dr Rey has always talked about his heirtage and how proud he was.

It will be interesting to see if there will be a lawsuit. Personally, I think Dr Jan and the late Dr West are each 50% responsible. She knew she had already been turned down because of pre-existing condition and did not have proper clearance. Dr Jan should have made sure he had clearance before he operated on her.

He was on that Dick Clark show that was a man version of The View. Mario Lopez, Danny Bonaduce and Dick Clark were also co-hosts. The show basically sucked because Danny was such a loon and a loud mouth. I still wonder why Dick Clark ever chose that loser to be on it.

The doctor who “told the world” he would not perform surgery and why will probably be sued for violating HIPPA. Dr. West was a ‘patient’. How in the hell is the media reporting medical events? Lawsuit for the BIG MOUTH DOC in the wait…

someone should put a hit on dude

He hosts Before & After on the Discovery channel, which is a show about plastic surgery!!

Hate to say this, (and I am in no way trying to offend or devalue Dr. West’s memory) but Dr. Jan Adams was not at fault. If the first doctor she went to advised her that proper testing needed to be completed before he would do the surgery, she should have complied. Often times we as humans hate hearing the word “no” or “just wait”. I think this is precisely what happened in Dr. West’s case. She went to one doctor, felt denied, and decided to search for a doctor that would give her what she wanted. People do it all the time. It’s called free will and there’s nothing wrong with it. That is, until a tragedy occurs. I think it’s very important that we keep things in prospective. Dr Jan Adams is a reputable plastic surgeon. He hosts, Plastic Surgery: Before & After on the Discovery channel and according to Star Jones’s report yesterday, he IS in fact board certified. The man knew what he was doing. I believe this is just an unfortunate accident. My prayers are with Ye and the rest of his family.

It is becoming too common that there are doctors that lack integrity. I hope his license is revoked.

WOA!!!! Ain’t he a host on the discovery health channel……… Thats crazy!

After we wish the family well, we really need to focus in on the bigger issue. LACK OF SELF ESTEEM..I hope Kanye uses the donation money to help women and girls improve their self image.

I hope they take away his practicing lisence(sp?)

@ kipa

Didn’t this dude used to have a talkshow?

You are correct, he was on that show!

It’s a VERY sad case but as said before……it’s a 2 way street and although we don’t check the track records of our regular MD (Which we really should), i’d have to do a LIL bit of an investigation on someone who’s about to cut me open and f**k with my internal organs!!!

Either way, he’s f**ked very good with a stiff hard one (from the back)!!!!

He was dead wrong for performing the surgery to began with!!!

May God heal as well as mend you/your family’s broken heart Kanye and may her soul rest in peace!

Oh, wow.

I used to love his show on Discovery Channel.

Initially when I saw his face, I didn’t think nothing of it. Then seeing it again from another ange, I recognized him off the bat.
