14 DAY TRIAL // Weeks of speculation and investigation have finally led to the identity of the mysterious ear, nose and throat doctor who performed the unauthorized biopsy on Joan Rivers that eventually led to her death in hospital several days later.
Radar confirms that the doctor in question is none other than Gwen Korovin, also known as doctor to the stars, since her patient list is filled with big celebrity names to the point that she herself has become a celebrity in the limelight.
Korovin is known as a doctor to the stars, stopped procedure to take selfie with Rivers
Just yesterday a report from CNN showed that the doctor took time out from the surgery to take a selfie with Joan Rivers who was still under the effects of anesthesia. This report coupled with some previous accounts that she was allowed to perform an unauthorized biopsy on the comedienne and that she was not licensed to practice medicine at the Manhattan clinic have raised public opinion against the doctor.
The doctor goes underground for fear of public lynching
Latest developments in the investigation show that the good doctor has since gone underground, in an attempt to avoid the fury of the public. Because there has been fury. Soon after news of Joan's death hit the media, people began calling up the clinic and making death threats, blaming the staff there for her demise.
So imagine what people would do if the doctor appeared in the limelight again. A source claims that Korovin “skipped town” and it's not difficult to understand why. Her name has managed to stay out of media reports for several weeks, indicating that she made efforts to keep herself anonymous all that time.
Reports spoke of an unidentified doctor for weeks, as insiders refused to give her name, for fear of legal repercussions. Finally, today, her name has been revealed, and along with it, her long list of famous patients. Among her patients are Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Hugh Jackman, John Mayer and Brooke Shields.
On her Facebook profile, Korovin can be seen in her office and in the background a wall of celebrity pictures in frames, all of them signed and autographed, no doubt as a favor for her services. So it's a sign that Korovin has seen her share of celebrities.
Melissa Rivers is now planning a huge lawsuit against the doctor and the clinic
Joan's death, however, has hit her fame hard and has caused her to go under. Meanwhile, reports say that Melissa Rivers, Joan's surviving daughter, is mounting a lawsuit against the doctor and the clinic which is shaping up to be one of the biggest in malpractice history.
