New documents reveal how Jeffrey Epstein manipulated women's healthcare by influencing doctors and withholding treatments. The New York Times exposé details communications showing his undue control over medical decisions. Instances include ignoring requests for acne medication and unconventional injury treatments.
Oh honey, the tea on Jeffrey Epstein just keeps spilling, and this batch is particularly chilling. According to a New York Times investigation, based on Department of Justice-released communications, the late financier exerted control over the medical care of women in his orbit through loyal doctors. We're talking everything from dictating treatments to straight-up withholding funds. 😳
Take this gem: An assistant asked Epstein if he should approve $600 for a woman's Accutane treatment with 'Dr. Victor.' His response? Simply 'ignore.' Classic Epstein pettiness, allegedly using money as a leash.
Then there's the wild one—a woman gets a head wound stitched up right on his dining room table by Dr. Jess Ting, who put in a whopping 35 stitches. Dr. Margaret Moon, a medical ethics expert at Johns Hopkins, told the Times that kind of injury belongs in a proper emergency room, not a fancy dinner setup. Dr. Ting pushed back, stating, “In my treatment of these adult patients, I never knew, witnessed, or had any knowledge of any illegal or potentially illegal activities.” He also expressed regret over his Epstein ties.
It gets messier. A Columbia University dentist queried Epstein on how much dental work to do for a 'girl' with two 'black teeth.' And Dr. Bruce Moskowitz advised sending two women with gonorrhea to a West Palm Beach ER to dodge Florida's mandatory reporting to the health department—names and all.
Epstein's inner circle included Dr. Eva Dubin, who reportedly served as his pipeline to Mount Sinai doctors for himself, friends, and those women. She denies any wrongdoing. Many docs scored big—think hefty research donations, cash, or favors—to keep the consultations flowing.
This exposé, dropped last month via DOJ docs, paints a picture of medical manipulation that's equal parts shady and unethical. So, how deep did this web go?
