I am so sorry, ma’am, but we lost your son. Surgery was going fine but we decided to let RFK Jr. futz around a little on his insides with a robot. He was eating squash at the time.

Analysis Summary
RFK Jr. did participate in an open heart surgery where he operated robotic surgical arms while a patient was on the operating table — this is confirmed by Daily Beast and KFF Health News reporting on his recent public events. The post frames this real incident as a dark comedy about the patient dying, but no news source reports any patient death from the procedure. Collins is using hyperbolic satire to criticize RFK Jr.'s involvement in active surgery, but the exaggeration crosses into false claims about fatal outcomes.
