Jan Adams was served with a letter from the West family requesting he not do this interview while in the Larry King green room moments before he was to go on air.
Although after a commercial break, Dr. Adams could not resist the opportunity to appear in front of the camera only to declare his loyalty to the West family and then walk off.

Dr. Jan Adams is set to appear on "Larry King Live", for his first TV interview, since the death of Donda West, whom he operated on just hours before her death.
This man's history just keeps getting creepier, but why was he able to continue promoting himself on television?
A surgery that was actually performed on the Discovery Health show "Plastic Surgery: Before and After", ended up completely coming undone. The patient Julie Coleman says her body is "marred for life".
It's not like they were doing before and after haircuts, this is risky television! Discovery Health should have to take some responsibility for this crime. Promoting a surgeon without massive follow up is irresponsible.

Reports of abuse, multiple arrests, alcohol counseling, pending civil actions for other botched surgeries, the list goes on!!
In 2001 Dr. Jan Adams ended two cases of malpractice with payouts of $217,337 and $250,000. He's the been the target of several other malpractice lawsuits, according to The Associated Press.
Adams had previously said that he performed cosmetic surgery on Dr. West at a surgical center, but The Associated Press reports that Adams, citing doctor-patient confidentiality, would not say when or where the surgery was done.
In 2006, Adams was reportedly convicted of driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or greater, and pleaded no contest to driving under the influence in 2003. According to AP, he also pleaded no contest to another alcohol-related charge, filed against him in 1994. The medical board's executive director, filed a complaint against Adams earlier this year, alleging that his arrests were a clear violation of the Medical Practice Act.
Meanwhile, a civil action brought by an Orange County woman is still pending against Adams. She alleges that, in 2006, she was hospitalized with a high fever and fluid in her left breast, following a botched surgery to remove excess skin and reshape her chest and abdomen. Two other cases against Adams also remain active.
Through a spokesman, Adams told AP that he performed an abdominoplasty (commonly referred to as a "tummy tuck") and breast reduction on Dr. West but would not say when or where the surgery was done. He refutes reports that her death was a result of the surgery.
TMZ also reports that Dr. Jan Adams physically assaulted his ex-wife, Susie Field, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. According to a restraining order filed by Susie Field, she claims on Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2006, Dr. Adams became upset with Susie for taking a phone call during dinner. Susie claims, "He wanted to speak to whomever was calling me."
Susie claims there was another incident in September, 2005, while in a New York nightclub, where he became angry because another man was looking at her. According to the document, when they returned to the hotel, he became "angry, threw me on the bed and began to strangle me. I thought I was going to die as he strangled me to the point of almost blacking out."
The judge granted the restraining order on November 28, 2006. Two days later, Susie filed for divorce. They were married in early 2006 and the divorce was final in February, 2007.
Ironically, he authored two books on plastic surgery, including 2000's "Everything Women of Color Should Know About Plastic Surgery."
His show on Discovery Health, "Plastic Surgery: Before and After," according to AP, has been pulled from the channel's lineup.
