A breast cancer surgeon had to “scrub out mid-surgery” to call a UnitedHealthcare representative because the insurance giant questioned whether the procedure she was in the middle of performing was really necessary.
Dr. Elisabeth Potter posted her story to Instagram this week, and the post has gotten more than 221,000 likes.
Still wearing her scrub cap, Dr. Potter began her video saying, “It’s 2025, and navigating insurance has somehow just gotten worse.”
Well, you assholes voted in trump and the republican cabal so dont expect any change soon.
Remind me again when this shit started happening? Not like it was being prevented before Trump or Biden or Obama or Bush. Honestly I could go back pretty far. Nobody is stopping these companies from doing what they’re doing it’s not gonna change.
Fuck trump because we all know what’s gonna happen but in this specific situation nobody will do anything even if Biden or Harris were running the show.
Yeah, it’s hilarious. Most of the surgeons I work with voted for Trump…
Are any of them not assholes? Are any of them not rich? Every surgeon I’ve met is a rich asshole. Rich people voted trump, assholes voted trump.
Yeah, you got it. There are a rare few that aren’t total douchebags.
I’d love to hear more about the decent ones. Because my perception is so skewed to think every surgeon is an asshole. I had one of the dumbest conversations of my professional life with one if you’d like.
Drive by doctors who would not be able to do that shit under single payer.
