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."

Police recovered bullets at the scene that read, "delay, deny, defend

Depose. Say it, DEPOSE.

I can understand this one instance being an editorial slip-up, but I’ve seen way too many news articles that reference the bullets while omitting that one particular word - depose.

It’s the word that scares the oligarchs the most. Which is all the more reason for us to repeat it, even if journalists won’t. DELAY, DENY, DEPOSE.
