Johns Hopkins pathologist J Epstein resigns

From the February 24, 2024 Washington Post:

"Jonathan I. Epstein resigned amid a review, telling The Post he did not want to return to work with colleagues who he says falsely accused him of misconduct

By Steve Thompson and Katie Shepherd

I heard he went to the Cleveland Clinic...

Wow & Interesting for sure... Both at the same time!

Is he the doc who gives second opinions on prostate biopsies?

This case is strange, Chesapeake Urology said there is no proof of any of their pathologists exerting influence over the JH pathology department, they were submitted for independent review only. So, if the reviews coincided with the findings why would they be pressured to change it.? So if you have a legitimate case against the diagnosis that should be discussed. I was in the medical profession for 40+ years and I noticed a lot of physicians don't like getting to the bottom of things, they just want to be right.

JH provided a second opinion re my 20 core UCSF

biopsy three weeks ago, signed by Andres Meaoso, M.D.

JH was consistent with the UCSF report except Dr. Matoso

upgraded one core from a 4+3 to a 4+4.

wow. He was the Bible for second opinions on biopsy slides for diagnosing Gleason scores! I actually flew up to JH to get my RP surgery from Dr Schaeffer.
