A video highlighting a patient’s battle with United Healthcare is picking up traction online, both on TikTok and Reddit. The TikToker, Gillian Foxglove, who goes by @gillianfoxglove on the platform, shared the story of her cousin, Nora, a doctor of physical therapy who is currently dealing with a serious medical condition. In the video, which has already reached 26K views, Foxglove explains that Nora has a cavernoma bleed, which she identifies as a form of stroke.
According to Foxglove, Nora’s medical team has been clear about the necessary path forward. “She has been advised by multiple surgeons at this point that she should be getting a surgery called a laser ablation surgery. This surgery would target the specific area where the cavernoma is,” Foxglove said in the clip.
