The US's Discovery Health TV channel has pulled reruns of a top rated show called 'Plastic Surgery: Before And After' because it features surgeon Dr Jan Adams, who operated on Kanye West's mother Dr Donda West shortly before she died last weekend. The surgeon has also been completely removed from the TV channel's website.
Reports claim Mrs West died because of complications during the cosmetic surgery, or possibly because of the combination of the anaesthetic and an existing heart condition, though an official coroner's report won't reach a conclusion on the actual cause of death until the results of toxicology tests are known.
However, Adams has been heavily criticised in the US press nevertheless. Another plastic surgeon revealed he had refused to operate on West until she had a medical check up to confirm she was fit enough to undergo the procedure. Meanwhile previous malpractice lawsuits and DUI charges against Adams have been reported on by the US media.
Discovery are yet to formally comment on their decision to take Adams off their schedules.
