But 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. Sometimes, he abruptly cut off the women’s care: An assistant once forwarded him a plea from a woman asking for $600 to refill her prescription for acne medicine. “Ignore,” Mr. Epstein replied.
It’s unsurprising that someone with Mr. Epstein’s wealth and elite connections would receive white-glove service from concierge doctors and V.I.P. treatment at major hospitals. But the new documents reveal how some of his doctors bent or broke the ethical rules of their profession.
One sent Mr. Epstein’s sexual partners elsewhere for gonorrhea treatment so that when their cases were reported to public health authorities, they wouldn’t be tied to Mr. Epstein. Some doctors also shared patients’ private health information with him, disclosures that at least one woman was unhappy about.
“All the doctors you pay directly keep you well informed about my ‘treatments,’” the woman wrote to Mr. Epstein. She did not want the same to happen with a “shrink” she was planning to see.
Mr. Epstein dismissed her concerns. The doctors, he told her, “take the time to make sure im happy.”
