Files related to Jeffrey Epstein reveal that he cultivated a network of elite doctors who didn’t just treat his ailments. He used them to manipulate and control the young women he exploited, often bending or outright breaking ethical medical rules. Worse, these doctors went along with trying to please him, prioritizing him rather than their patients.
The files record some incredibly disturbing incidents. Imagine a plastic surgeon from Mount Sinai stitching up a young woman’s severe head wound right on Epstein’s dining room table. Or a dentist from Columbia University asking Epstein how much work he wanted done on a girl with serious tooth decay.
According to the New York Times, Epstein directed women to undergo all sorts of procedures, from pelvic exams and liposuction to mole removals. He’d pay for expensive treatments like $800-an-hour psychiatric therapy or a root canal. His control, however, was absolute. An assistant once forwarded him a plea from a woman desperate for $600 to refill her acne medicine, and Epstein’s cold reply was simply, “Ignore.”
Every time I think it can’t get worse, the Epstein files prove me wrong
Many of these doctors engaged in deeply problematic practices. Some shared private health information with him even when the patient didn’t want that. Epstein’s longtime, loyal, personal physician, Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, helped him and two women get gonorrhea treatment. He sent the women to an emergency room with instructions to report the source as “a friend overseas.” All so he wouldn’t have to report it to the health department or have it come back to Epstein.
The doctor Epstein was closest to was Dr. Eva Dubin, who had dated him and founded the Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai. She acted as his conduit to the hospital, connecting him, his friends, and women in his orbit with specialists.
It was Dr. Dubin who organized the dining table surgery for a young Russian woman who had fallen off an ATV on Epstein’s private island to protect Epstein’s interests. Dr. Jess Ting, a Mount Sinai plastic surgeon, received a $50,000 donation for treating her with 35 stitches. The wound was bad enough that it should have been treated in an emergency room, not a dining room.
Dr. Bernard Kruger, co-founder of a concierge emergency room, also arranged for Epstein to pay $15,000 for a year of access to his emergency room for Epstein and five “girls,” who were listed only as “assistants 1-5 without using names,” to give Epstein “more flexibility.”
Epstein rewarded his favored doctors handsomely with hefty payments, Apple Watches, introductions to celebrities, and vacations. He even wrote large checks for some doctors’ research and charity work, donating over $375,000 to Mount Sinai. Mount Sinai has now formed a committee to investigate its ties to Epstein.
We already know that Epstein has deep ties to academia. Now, as investigations continue, with Bill Clinton being deposed recently, you have to wonder how far Epstein’s power spread, and just how much power was stolen from his victims.
