Not news, but news to me, I just found out Dr. Epstein is no longer at Johns Hopkins, having been put on administrative leave amid misconduct allegations.

@billnumber6 He later resigned. The allegations (not proven in court) sound nasty:
❝Epstein, according to the report, was accused by other doctors of pressuring them to change diagnoses and defer to his wishes over several years. In some cases, according to the people familiar with the accusations, doctors said they felt pressured to give second opinions that agreed with diagnoses made by Epstein’s wife, a pathologist at a urology center in Beltsville, Md. In one case, a misdiagnosis led to a patient’s bladder being removed, according to the report and the people.❞

There is a lot of controversy over why he left, and whether what they said is true. Supposedly, he preferred the advice of one doctor over another.
He did start his own business and that is where you get your second opinion from now.
