Newly released documents connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation are continuing to expose troubling details about the people and systems surrounding the convicted sex offender.
Among the revelations is an incident involving a woman who reportedly received 35 stitches for a head injury while lying on a dining room table inside Epstein’s residence. The procedure was allegedly carried out by a plastic surgeon connected to Mount Sinai Hospital.
According to emails included in the files, the woman had been injured after falling from an ATV on Epstein’s private Caribbean island. Epstein then contacted a medical associate to arrange treatment.
Documents indicate that the surgeon later came to Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and treated the wound there instead of in a hospital. Epstein reportedly told an assistant that the woman was “laid out on the dining room table” while the doctor closed the injury with 35 stitches.
Medical ethicists have criticized the situation, saying a serious head injury would normally be treated in a hospital emergency department equipped to handle complications and proper medical monitoring.
The files also suggest Epstein had a network of doctors who treated both him and women around him, sometimes arranging private care outside normal hospital procedures.
Mount Sinai has said it is reviewing the documents and examining any past connections to Epstein. Some physicians mentioned in the files have denied knowing about any illegal activity related to Epstein at the time.
The newly released records are part of a larger collection of documents that continue to shed light on Epstein’s relationships with powerful individuals and institutions.
