Matthew Perry's doctor's ex-patient reveals 'incredibly odd' visit with physician that creeped her out
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A former patient of the doctor charged with supplying Matthew Perry with a deadly quantity of ketamine revealed about 'the creeps' she got during an 'incredibly odd' visit with the physician, who was the only one in his office.
Five individuals, two doctors, Perry’s live-in personal assistant, and the 'Ketamine Queen' Jasveen Sangha, have been charged in connection with the death of the actor in 2023, according to the US Attorney’s Office.
Katy Forrester reveals about visit with physician
Katy Forrester, an editor at The US Sun, revealed that she had visited Dr Salvador Plasencia, also known as Dr P, at his urgent care clinic in July to get help related to a kidney infection, according to the New York Post.
She said, "He’d given me the creeps." Forrester and her partner were unaware of the doctor’s hidden past and made an appointment, and were greeted by a 'stoic' looking receptionist.
She wrote, "After filling out forms and heading into a private room, the same man then appeared in a white coat and joked he was not just the receptionist, he was also the doctor."
She said that she found it to be 'incredibly odd' to find just a single person running a doctor’s office and made a comparison with "a scene from a psychological thriller where the local barman is also the postman and the priest."
The doctor examined her and prescribed some new antibiotics. When they went back to the reception area, she said she tried to make small talk about him being the only person there, which is when the interaction started to feel 'off.'
She added, "When I realized who I’d been treated by and read the sweeping indictment, I felt slightly sick, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end."
She added, "You are meant to be able to trust your doctor and those who treat you in an emergency, and it’s unsettling to think what he may have been up to after hours."
Plasencia has pleaded not guilty to charges, one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, seven counts of distribution of ketamine, and two counts of altering and falsifying documents or records related to the federal investigation.
He was held on a $100,000 unsecured bond and surrendered his DEA license, which allowed him to prescribe controlled substances, on an order from Magistrate Judge Alka Sagar. His trial is set for October 8.
'Ketamine Queen' pleads not guilty
'Ketamine Queen' Jasveen Sangha has pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, one count of maintaining drug-involved premises, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute ketamine, and five counts of distribution of ketamine.
The judge revoked Sangha's bond earlier from a different charge that was not shared during court and ordered her to remain in detention.
The prosecutors have argued that she is a 'significant risk to flee' given her extensive international travel and dual US and British citizenship. They added that she appears to be funding herself through drug sales.
