“I just did two bilateral DIEPs and two bilateral tissue expanders for patients, and I’ve never had this happen before. During the second DIEP, I got a phone call into the operating room saying that United Healthcare wanted me to call them about one of the patients who was having surgery today, who was actually asleep having surgery. They said I had to call right now. So I scrubbed out of my case, and I called United Healthcare, and the gentleman said he needed some information about her.”

“He wants to know her diagnosis and whether her impatience day should be justified. And I was like, do you understand that she’s asleep right now and she has breast cancer? And the gentleman said, actually, I don’t. That’s a different department that would know that information.”

“And I was like, well, she does need to stay overnight tonight. You have all the information with you, because I got approval for this surgery, and I need to go back and be with my patient now.
