WHY DON’T PEOPLE TRUST THE MEDICAL PROFESSION? Johns Hopkins doctor’s bullying exposes whole profession.

The US medical profession has a real credibility problem — and doctors bear a huge share of the blame.

Consider the latest news for the “bad physician” file, the sobering tale of Dr. Jonathan Epstein, a leading pathologist at Johns Hopkins.

The doc allegedly bullied his colleagues to deliver second opinions supporting diagnoses from his wife, also a pathologist.

These included, horrifically, a surgical bladder removal that may not even have been necessary.

Epstein was put on administrative leave in May: Why is the public only finding out about this now?

Worse, neither Epstein nor his erstwhile employer has admitted that anything in the slightest could be wrong.

So here we have Hopkins — the byword for medical excellence in America — engaged in a seeming cover-up of what looks like massive misconduct by one of its top physicians.

Every institution has been corrupted.
