Dr. Jan Adams, currently standing in the crosshairs of a TMZ firing squad (there's been five more posts since our morning round-up, including accusations of impregnating one patient and leaving a sponge in another), delivered this statement to Entertainment Tonight: "I want to first express my deepest condolences to the West family at a very difficult time. As a medical doctor practicing in this field, I hold sacred the bond of confidentiality that exists between the patient and doctor. Out of respect of the West family, and the absence of verifiable information, any comment without having first discussing that information with the family would be unprofessional." An Oprah spokesperson, meanwhile, told Extra that the talk show host who once featured Adams as a guest "DID NOT RECOMMEND DR. ADAMS TO DONDA WEST." [etonline.com, extratv.com]
