Breast Surgery Dance-Off in the O.R.

By Anne Cohen November 7, 2013

Sometimes. a little Bey’ can go a long way.

Deborah Cohan, a San Francisco-based OB-GYN, instigated what is probably the first ever operation room dance party, right before undergoing a double mastectomy at Mt. Zion Hospital.

What ensues is the most inspirational six minutes ever as Cohan and her team bump and grind to Beyonce’s hit, “Get Me Bodied.”

Fans can even submit their own versions of Beyonce-loving support here.

With moves like this, Beyonce may have to watch her back.

Anne Cohen was the Forward’s deputy digital media editor. When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.
