DONDA WEST BILL INTRODUCED IN CALIF.: Legislation would require plastic surgery patients to get a physical before any operations.
*The niece of Kanye West's late mother Donda West has teamed with Calif. Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter to try and pass state legislation that requires plastic surgeons to give patients a physical exam before performing any surgical procedure.
Yolanda Anderson, also Kanye's cousin, said the bill would be named after Donda West, who died the day after undergoing plastic surgery from Dr. Jan Adams. An autopsy found that West had pre-existing conditions that caused her to suffer a heart attack less than 24 hours after undergoing liposuction and mammoplasty.
Anderson tells the L.A. Times that Dr. Adams didn't give her aunt a physical exam before her surgery in November, though a rep for Adams insists he "thoroughly questioned" West before the procedure.
Other bills inspired by Donda's death are currently in state legislatures in Florida and Canada, amongst others.
