Donda West Another Tragic Victim Of Hollywood’s Evil Influence
By now, anyone who follows celebrity news is aware Kanye West’s mother, Dr. Donda West, passed away this weekend from what appears to be post-surgery complications. Dr. West is said to have undergone liposuction surgery and breast reduction surgery, though the exact extent of surgeries has not been confirmed at this time.
What we do know is this: paramedics were called to the home of Dr. West on Saturday evening for what is being categorized as a “sick person” call. Sadly, paramedics were unable to revive her and West died that evening. Autopsy results are pending.
According to various reports at TMZ, Donda West had approached another plastic surgeon about performing this surgery on her in recent weeks, but was rejected over concerns he had about existing conditions. Clearly, this didn’t stop Dr. Jan Adams who DID perform the surgery and has quite a history of negative and damning legal complications on his medical record, as well as a DUI from 2006, and a medical claim that asserts he not only botched a surgery (he’s been hit with SEVERAL malpractice suits) but also sexually assaulted and impregnated one of his patients.
Seriously, this guy sounds like a death waiting to happen. Let’s take a look:
1 DUI
4 Malpractice suits (so far)
1 Sexual Assault charge (settled out of court)
1 Death
There are other charges which state Dr. Adams did not reveal ongoing or previous malpractice suits in his medical past and that’s part of one the suits against him. This man has no moral fiber of which I can detect and instead of showing some sense of remorse for the death of a patient in his care, he is deflected and defending himself against what he’s called a “sleaze” campaign by the doctor who REFUSED to perform the surgery originally on Dr. West. Which if you think about it fitting, because Dr. Adams is all sorts of sleazy. TMZ spoke with Dr. Adams:
Dr. Adams told TMZ her death, which followed a tummy tuck and breast reduction, was unforeseen and could have been caused by a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting.
Dr. Adams tells us West consulted with him over a period of four months. He says she changed her mind numerous times, sometimes greenlighting the surgery and sometimes halting it.
As for the TMZ report that Beverly Hills doctor Andre Aboolian refused to conduct the surgery because of a medical condition that West had, Dr. Adams said of Dr. Aboolian, “He is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance.”
Dr. Adams says he did nothing wrong.
Yes, well even if he didn’t directly “DO” something to cause her death, he clearly ignored some pretty major health issues in West’s medical history. Which brings me to my most relevant concern, why are people so willing to go under the knife for elective surgery which may pose a serious threat to their health? Dr. West was an accomplished educator, author and manager for her son’s extremely successful career. Why would she risk all of that at age 58 just to have a smaller tummy and less voluminous breasts? There is no one answer, but I blame Hollywood and its facade of perfection. The pressure to be “perfect” coupled with unscrupulous doctors who are willing to prey on, and foster this sense of extreme insecurity are at fault.
What happened to exercise, healthy habits and focusing on what’s inside to improve your outward appearance and inward attitude? Society has given the impression that there is a quick fix for everything, and most often, there isn’t. Anything worth having will require hard work, dedication and a positive attitude - not elective, dangerous surgery performed by a doctor who cares little about the patient themselves.
My heart goes out to Kanye and his family. Surely he must not have been aware of the gravity of his mother’s situation and condition, or he would have stepped in and told her how beautiful she was and how proud he was of her just the way she is.

She could have wanted a breast augmentation for reducing them, to lessen the weight on her back of carrying such a load on the front. Being somewhat endowed myself, it’s hard on your back to carry those things around. That’s just a guess, though.
But, it could have been for cosmetic reasons, especially with a tummy tuck thrown in. You’re right…it’s sad when such a lovely, intelligent woman felt the need to “conform” to some Hollywood standard of “beauty”, when she was beautiful to start with. Beauty isn’t just a size two with C-cups.
I hope the family goes after this guy, because he definitely should not have operated on her if she had a heart condition. This quack sounds shady all around.

As a victim of medical errors and medical malpractice my condolences go out to Kanye West and family regarding Donda West death. My name is Eunita Harper Winkey a high school teacher and the Founder/President of ATWINDS Foundation “A Teacher’s Work Is Never Done Services.” Our mission is to raise awareness that research study shows that “Medical errors are a major cause of injury and death in the United States. The now-famous report by the Institute of Medicine estimated that 44,000 to 98,000 people die in US hospitals each year as the result of medical errors. (This means that more people die from medical errors than from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer or AIDS.)” For more information visit atwindsfoundation.org and medicalrecordawareness.com.
