UnitedHealthcare Threatens Legal Action Against Doctor Who Says They Interrupted Her in the Middle of Surgery

Quick Summary:

Last month, Texas plastic surgeon Elisabeth Potter posted on TikTok and Instagram that she had just been interrupted in the middle of a reproductive procedure for a breast cancer patient with a supposedly "urgent" call.

In the aftermath of its CEO's stunning assassination, UnitedHealthcare is now doubling down and threatening legal retaliation against those who criticize the insurance giant online.

On the other line was a UHC representative, who asked her if it was absolutely necessary that her patient stay overnight post-surgery — a question that appalled the doctor and most everyone who saw the video, including us at Futurism.
