"A plastic surgeon from Mount Sinai closed a young woman's head wound with 35 stitches on Jeffrey Epstein's dining room table. An internist in West Palm Beach ordered a blood test for another woman, then reported the abnormal results back to Mr. Epstein. A dentist at Columbia University asked Mr. Epstein how much work he wanted done on a "girl" with severe tooth decay."
"These providers were part of a small stable of loyal medical specialists cultivated and rewarded by Mr. Epstein, the convicted sex offender and financier who died in a jail cell in 2019. He often tapped their expertise for his own ailments, firing off questions about his bad back, high cholesterol and erectile dysfunction drugs."
"Mr. Epstein also used the doctors to manipulate young women from overseas who were having sex with him, according to a tranche of Epstein-related documents released by the government in January. He directed women to get pelvic exams, liposuction and mole removals, and paid for a range of specialty treatments, from $800-an-hour psychiatric therapy to a root canal."
Jeffrey Epstein maintained a network of medical specialists from prestigious institutions who provided services beyond standard medical care. These doctors treated Epstein's personal health concerns, facilitated care for his business associates, and most troublingly, were directed to examine and treat young women Epstein sexually exploited. Medical records show Epstein controlled these women's healthcare, directing them toward cosmetic procedures and manipulative treatments while arbitrarily cutting off care. The arrangement raises significant questions about medical ethics, professional responsibility, and whether these healthcare providers understood or enabled Epstein's exploitation of vulnerable women.
