Texas surgeon Dr. Elisabeth Potter says UnitedHealthcare stopped her mid-surgery to question if the patient’s procedure was necessary – despite the fact the patient was already on the operating table. Dr. Potter was even threatened with legal action after sharing her astonishing story on social media.

The health insurance giant denies that it would ever ask a doctor to interrupt care. But this incident follows an alarming pattern with UnitedHealthcare. According to Daily Mail, “UnitedHealthcare has also been accused of using an AI program with a 90 percent error rate to deny claims.”

“Without insurance,” the Mail says the surgery being performed by Dr. Potter “costs anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000.”

The Mail also reports a spokesperson from UnitedHealthcare claimed “There are no insurance related circumstances that would require a physician to step out of surgery… We did not ask nor would ever expect a physician to interrupt patient care to answer a call.”

Dr. Elisabeth Potter details UnitedHealthcare’s legal threats against her for speaking out. Dr. Eric Weiss shares his pioneering work in stem cell therapy for autism, drawing from his son’s journey and a suppressed CDC study showing a 1135% autism increase linked to thimerosal in vaccines.


Dr. Elisabeth Potter is a board-certified plastic surgeon who earned her MD from Emory University and completed a fellowship at MD Anderson. She specializes in natural breast reconstruction, performing over 1,000 DIEP flap surgeries. Formerly a regulatory analyst of FDA law, she monitors BIA-ALCL risks. Follow at https://x.com/epottermd
