Dr. Jan Adams waited until the very last minute to bail on Larry King. The show started with Larry saying that Dr. Adams was late getting to the studio, but that he would still be on the show. Then Larry said Dr. Adams had received a strongly worded letter from Dr. West's family imploring him not to speak about the surgery. Then Dr. Adams came on set and said he would speak only about himself and all untruths written him in the press, but moments later he walked off the set, saying he would honor the West family's wishes that he not say anything.
