'If he had any b**** he'd speak out': Plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye's mum calls on him to help clear his name over her death

The Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon who operated on Kanye West's mom before her sudden death in November 2007 has called on him to help clear his name once and for all. Dr. Jan Adams (left) claims that almost eight years after Donda West's tragic death he continues to be made a scapegoat.

Donda, 58, died on November 10, 2007, a day after she underwent five and half hours of surgery including breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction.

A coroner ruled that she likely died of heart disease combined with complications after cosmetic surgery.

Adams maintains that Donda's death was due to poor aftercare that was administered by Kanye's cousin Stephan Scoggins - a registered nurse with a Ph.D. in public health.
'It baffles me when nobody wants to know the truth,' Adams told the Daily News. 'I think (Kanye) should stand up and tell the truth, and the truth will set you free. If he had any b**** or if he was any kind of man he could (speak up). But the real answer is he probably won't.'
Adams was investigated by the Los Angeles County Coroner but never charged, he maintains that his reputation has suffered because people don't know the facts and assume Donda died during surgery.
'Most people that I run into think she died on the table, they don't even know this lady was home for a day,' said Adams. 'The truth hasn't been revealed.'
According to Adams the problems started when Donda choose to return home and receive aftercare from Scoggins – ignoring his recommendation of a private recovery center.
Adams blames Scoggins of not installing patient monitors in Donda's bedroom and accuses him of leaving her in the hands of an untrained friend just one day after surgery so he could attend a baby shower.


Scoggins has denied these allegations.


According to the autopsy, Donda – 5-foot-2 and 188 pounds - was suffering from coronary artery disease and had serious blockages in two of her arteries.
The coroner also said Donda showed signs of 'multiple postoperative factors' due to her surgery.
One of Donda's post-operative complications included bronchopneumonia in one lung.
Deputy medical examiner Dr. Louis A. Pena said: 'It is my opinion Ms. West died from some pre-existing coronary artery disease and multiple postoperative factors following surgery.'


Kanye was devastated by his mother's death and led 1,000 mourners, including Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z, John Legend and Anita Baker at her funeral service in Oklahoma City.
