Further investigation reveals the following about her doctor:
(1) He has multiple DUIs.
(2) He has been accused by a patient of sexual assault.
(3) Before this incident he was already facing loss of license due to the DUIs.
(4) He is not a board-certified plastic surgeon.
(5) He works the talk show circuit, having appeared on Oprah and elsewhere to promote his line of cosmetics for "women of color."
My guess is that Donda West went to a board-certified plastic surgeon who declined to perform the surgery, and then she either got in touch with or was put in touch with a plastic surgeon who was involved with Oprah, known for his boosterism for "women of color" and his Afrocentricity in general.
In other words, she allowed Jan Adams' ideological and cultural appeal to her prejudices to trump his questionable professionalism.
Note to FReepers: do not choose a surgeon just because he claims to be a conservative Republican.
A board certified surgeon rejected her due to her heart history.
So she shopped around.
