Female Dr. abuses Uber driver and the Internet unleashes it's wrath.

[Heeeeers Johnny]

Can't say I'm sorry for her (4Chan and Reddit are out for blood).

Her career might not be over, but it might be in her best interest to take an extended
vacation overseas to visit friends and family for awhile.

Miami doctor placed on leave after confrontation with Uber driver goes viral

A neurology resident, employed by the Jackson Health System, has been placed on administrative leave after a controversial video involving an Uber driver went viral.

According to a statement from Jackson Health, Dr. Anjali Ramkissoon, a fourth-year resident, has been placed on leave, effective immediately, and removed from all clinical duties.

The statement also says an internal investigation has been launched, and the outcome will determine whether any disciplinary action will be taken.

The incident reportedly started when Ramkissoon got into an Uber vehicle without a reservation and refused to get out.

A doctor for Jackson Health System has been placed on administrative leave after a YouTube video of her hitting and screaming profanities at an Uber driver went viral, a hospital spokeswoman confirmed in a statement.

Anjali Ramkissoon, a fourth-year neurology resident, was ”removed from all clinical duties.”

“Jackson has launched an internal investigation,” the statement reads. “The outcome of the investigation will determine whether any disciplinary action will be taken, up to and including termination.”

The video of Sunday’s incident in the Brickell area was posted Jan. 19 by someone who uses the YouTube account Juan Cinco. It had been viewed more than 500,000 times by Thursday evening. In the video, Ramkissoon, wearing short white shorts and a long-sleeved orange shirt, can be seen hitting an Uber driver in the face.

[yurbud]

1. astonishing

[libdem4life]

2. I just hate it that we never hear the final results of these obscene events. Probably

most just go away. What hubris and disrespect and poor upbringing.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

3. WTF?? Why bring her parents into this? For all you know they worked their asses off...

...so she could go to school and become a neurologist.

[malaise]

48. Her name is Caribbean Indian

I think her folks are from Trinidad. Either they worked very hard or she is one more of those entitled idiots whose parents live vicariously off their accomplishments and shower them with rights and benefits with no responsibility. On the other hand, some folks should stay away from alcohol period.

I hope they kick her out of medicine - I wouldn't want her near me or mine.

[CoffeeCat]

101. My husband told me today that her father is a doctor...

...and works at the same hospital where she was doing her residency.

Interesting.

[pnwmom]

103. Or maybe it was her medical training. She sounds like she's acquired

the MDeity syndrome.

Surgeons, especially, seem to be susceptible to it.

[libdem4life]

111. True, but this goes beyond superiority. She could have been Lindsay Lohan on Mean Girls.

[tblue37]

133. She got fired, hired a PR firm, and is looking for a way to save her career. nt

[hedda_foil]

4. Well there goes her brilliant career as a doctor.

[Skittles]

5. what is it with people

I am high-strung and angry much of the time yet I have managed to NEVER be rude to a clerk or waiter or taxi driver, etc. Seriously, WTF is wrong with these people!

[Codeine]

16. Same here. I'm a perpetual cauldron of rage

but I treat service workers with absolute kindness because I also make my living in the service industry.

Just be nice to people, people!

[prayin4rain]

49. Haha. ..

I'm a perpetual cauldron of rage!


I love it. ..I need a t-shirt or bumper sticker or something.

[GreatGazoo]

59. Alcohol

It doesn't excuse their behavior but in answer to what is wrong with these people? A: alcohol

[Codeine]

60. Nah. Drunken words are sober thoughts.

All alcohol does is reveal who people really are inside, and this person is filth.

[GreatGazoo]

61. I'm agreeing but without alcohol that behavior stays in check

[Demonaut]

80. no, I disagree, we all have many thoughts good and bad and some express themselves when you're drunk

In anger have you said something you immediately regret?

[Skittles]

96. it has to be something more

I have tied one on more than a few times in my day and STILL managed to never utter so much as an unkind word to a service worker

[Rex]

88. Good question.

Same here, I reserve my anger for those that truly deserve it.

[Nye Bevan]

6. A fourth-year neurology resident?

I wouldn't want her to perform brain surgery on me.

[rjsquirrel]

15. Neurologists

Last edited Fri Jan 22, 2016, 07:42 AM - Edit history (1)

Don't do surgery.

She's a resident. It's incredibly stressful. The public has a huge investment in her education. Her career is not over.

[tblue37]

21. FYI: Autocorrect turned "resident" into "existent" in your post. nt

[rjsquirrel]

35. Thanks, fixed.

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

27. Ben Carson performs brain surgery

Just saying.

[rjsquirrel]

34. He is a neurosurgeon

Not a neurologist.

There's a difference.

[JHB]

40. In field, sure. In arrogance and narcissism?

Not so much.

[linuxman]

47. You have no clue what you're talking about.

[JHB]

51. So educate me.

[linuxman]

56. my wife is a nueroligist.

I'd like to think I know her pretty well, and I take exception to your bullshit insinuation. Like her coworkers, she is humble, hardworking, and grounded. I can't speak to neurosurgeons as i don't know any, but I'm sure its overstated, as du has a hardon for hating on and denigrating doctors at any opportunity, so long as it helps to bolster their stance against Carson, for which it is entirely unnecessary to slander others to do. Stereotypes are bullshit.

[JHB]

76. I was referring to Carson and this doctor...

...not to the specialties in general. I made no insinuation about your wife or her colleagues, nor would I, having doctors and dentists in my own family and some familiarity with their professional friends.

[linuxman]

78. I see

Based on how you wrote it, it looked as if you were saying neurologists and neurosurgeons are narcissistic and arrogant, as the post you replied to mentioned proffesions, not Carson and this woman.

[Oneironaut]

8. If she were male or black (or both), she would be in the hospital right now.

Destroys car, kicks police officers, and then gets let go with no charges? Riiight...

[BuelahWitch]

18. Or fat or an old woman

She's a pretty young woman though, so she got off scott free. I hope he can sue her for damages.

Edited my post to change "girl" to "woman," as someone 30 years old should never be called a girl.

[AZ Progressive]

32. Pretty women are spoiled by society, and it goes to their head

[rjsquirrel]

36. Oh come the fuck on

She is a fourth year resident in neurology. She isn't spoiled. She has worked harder to get there than anyone you know who isn't a doctor.

Mocking a woman for being pretty is sexist bullshit same as if you kicked her for being fat. Doesn't matter if you call her "woman" or "girl." She is not defined by her looks. She's a damn MD.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

41. So, not "spoiled." Let's say "entitled"

She has a damn entitlement attitude that's as big as an elephant.

Well, I guess she found out that's not always going to work for her.

"She has worked harder to get there than anyone you know who isn't a doctor."


Bullfuckingshit. Plenty of people are just as stressed working 80 hours a week at three different jobs trying to feed their kids.

I hope she gets help. She needs it.

[rjsquirrel]

44. Yeah no

A lot of people might be stressed but few are as stressed as an MD in residency. You just believe what you wantthough. I'm sure you work very hard.

[steve2470]

45. ok, I have to respond to this

If she keeps her job at the hospital, I can live with that. However, medical residents who are mentally stable do NOT act like this woman. She needs help, period. Any human being who acts like that, on drugs or alcohol or not, needs psychiatric help.

I'm done.

[brush]

62. Bingo! Nailed it!

That woman needs help badly.

[Paladin]

70. +1. (nt)

[liberalhistorian]

117. I don't doubt at all the incredibly grueling stress

of a medical residency, or being a physician in general. But that still doesn't give her carte blanc to act like this and it doesn't mean she shouldn't face any consequences or accountabilty for it. The vast majority of residents and doctors would NOT act like this no matter how much stress they're under. And a stressful job does not give you the right to treat people and property this way.

[titaniumsalute]

54. I don't care what she looks like or what she has studied

I was hoping a bus ran her over at the end of the video.

[liberalhistorian]

116. Then she should fucking act like it.

I've known and been treated by many doctors, including a few in my family, and I've never known them to even consider acting like this no matter what was going on with them.

Working extremely hard (and I agree that she did, indeed, work hard in a very stressful occupation to get where she is) does NOT mean that you aren't or can't be spoiled or entitled, and that's exactly what she is. Spoiled, entitled, and full of hubris. Unbelievable how she just gets out of the car and walks away like nothing happened and she shouldn't have to face any accountability or consequences for anything.

[LiberalElite]

106. Did you watch the video? No.

and first off let me say I am not excusing her, I'm surprised she wasn't arrested but then the story said the driver didn't want to press charges. - BUT she did not destroy the car, or kick a P.O. She kicked the driver and threw Uber pamphlets and some of his personal belongings out the window.

[Oneironaut]

127. I don't think we watched the same video.

She was clearly trying to attack the driver the whole time. It wasn't just one kick. He was restraining her.

Also, read the story. She was trying to kick the police when they came. They only let her off when she started crying and apologizing after.

[DavidDvorkin]

9. She had some nerve.

[awoke_in_2003]

12. I'll remember to tip my waitress...

[Journeyman]

10. Sad to see. It certainly seems she has a drinking problem, one I hope she seeks help with. . .

before her troubles compound themselves and she finds herself unable to rebound.

This incident will certainly put a crimp in her career trajectory, but hopefully one she'll weather, learn from, and grow out of a wiser, more compassionate person.

I've seen alcoholics do far worse and yet, still recover.

(Just thankful, once again, that all my drunken madness was worked out well before YouTube.)

[Heeeeers Johnny]

14. I have to disagree there...

that she has a drinking problem.

Given her fucked up behavior, she seems too coherent, too aware of her surroundings
and stable on her feet to support that theory.

Maybe... just maybe, drinking a tad too much might have come into play, but from my
personal experiences as a long time party goer, it's mostly a sense of privilege and/or
she's been stealing from the cookie jar at work.

[Major Nikon]

53. If you get drunk and engage in anti-social behavior, you have a drinking problem

There is no maybe here. This wouldn't have happened had she not been drunk.

[Mother Of Four]

129. Thank you for that -

I was sitting here SMH at the comments.

A drinking problem isn't just addiction to alcohol, some people have drastic personality changes when they drink even if it's only 3-4 drinks. Hubby's one of them. He doesn't touch the stuff because he doesn't like what it does to him. 21 yrs + he's avoided it.


A drinking problem is when something detrimental happens when you drink. Whether its outward behavior, depression, addiction or physical. You have a problem with alcohol.

[lunamagica]

75. Yes, my mother told me that she looked like she was on drugs.

She wasn't slurring her words, and was steady on her feet.

Drugs.

[steve2470]

22. alcohol or some other drug + massive entitlement = this woman's behavior

She had pretty good awareness of what she was doing, and thought she could completely get away with it. I hope she gets the right kind of help.

[Liberal_in_LA]

25. She doesnt seem that drunk

[JHB]

50. My thought too.

Seemed more drunk on her own ego than on alcohol.

[KittyWampus]

68. High functioning alcoholics don't always appear drunk when they are.

No comment about person in video. Just commenting on perception that people who are drunk will "appear" drunk.

[enough]

46. Acting exactly the way a relative of mine behaves when on the manic swing of bipolar.

She doesn't seem particularly drunk.

[steve2470]

52. you could be on to something here

I looked up hypomania to refresh my memory, and disinhibition and irritability are part of it. That combined with massive entitlement...... it will be interesting to see how this plays out finally. I'm convinced she has a psychiatric disorder of some kind. No mentally stable medical resident acts this way, tipsy or not. At best, she was tipsy, not drunk.

I hope she gets the proper help.

[justiceischeap]

66. When I was younger I used to drink a lot

and was pretty good at holding my liquor. Some people hold their liquor quite well. That being said, she doesn't seem like a stable, rational person -- at least not behavior one would expect from a highly motivated and disciplined person training to be a doctor--meaning, I wonder if she does have some underlying mental health issues playing into this behavior. Or is she the entitled "pretty" girl most on this thread claim is her motivation?

[marmar]

74. I'm just finding it hard to muster up sympathy for an entitled, drunken a**hole.

[LittleBlue]

11. She threw her career in the trash

Anyone who googles her qualifications or ratings will find this video instead. How many people want a crazy neurologist?

[rjsquirrel]

38. Nonsense

She has 10 years of medical education that entails millions in sunk public expenses ( who do you think pays for the hospital to train residents?).


Society would be stupid to let her walk away die medicine.

[Person 2713]

79. Doctors need to be fit for society.They don't get an ass pass . Dr. Josef Mengeke studied hard too

[rjsquirrel]

98. Great Godwin

She's not Dr. Mengele and that is a hideous and inappropriate comparison that reveals you to be deeply full of it. She lost her shit and acted like an entitled ass.

I daresay most people here attacking her have, once or twice in their lives, lost their shit and acted like an entitled ass. You're just lucky no one videotaped it an put it online for the two minute shame.

I'm not defending what she did. But she didn't kill anyone or commit sexual assault. She lost her shit. That's not something we want doctors doing, but a fourth year resident is under enormous stress and gets very little sleep and, snarky riposte aside, no, very few people work as hard as someone at that stage of a medical career. She has skills that can save lives and that took years and a fortune to develop. If we start destroying peoples' entire careers every time they get caught doing something stupid or losing their shit, we're going to have a hell of a society.

Again, if you can honestly say you've never acted in a way that would be embarrassing as hell if posted to the web, go ahead and demand her entire career be sacrificed for one breakdown. You're living in a fantasy world.

[avaistheone1]

89. This doctor doesn't belong in the profession. Money is cheap, character is expensive.

She amply demonstrated who she really is in soooooo many ways in that encounter with the Uber driver and it is all on video. This woman is far too risky working with patients. I doubt the government has personally invested millions in this individual. We will take our losses and show her the door. It is money well spent to be rid of her.

Bye, bye doc.

[Logical]

99. LOL, yes, we can't survive without her! Silly post! nt

[left-of-center2012]

13. Police took no report and let her go

Well, that'll teach her.

[840high]

23. The driver was very nice - he

settled for the cost of his cellphone and did not press charges. I would not want her to be my doctor.

[GummyBearz]

17. Impossible. The war on women is in full force. No way this would be allowed to go down

without an arrest. Something isn't right. The guy must have been at fault.

[prayin4rain]

63. Put down your signs ladies, gummybearz has made your "women's issues" vanish with his powers

of keen observation. The number of women being raped, beaten and denied reproductive rights is now acceptable since one woman acted like an asshole and got away with it.Others may have missed the connection between the war on women and one women acting poorly, but not you. You should be proud.

[GummyBearz]

64. Did you miss the giant sarcasm tag at the end of my post?

Just wondering...

[prayin4rain]

72. No, I didn't. You sarcastically stated that the war on women

is in full force, thereby, implying that the war on women is not in full force as is clearly shown in this video.

If it was double sarcasm that went over my head, then, sorry.

[GummyBearz]

86. Hmm..

I can see how the sarcasm thing can be interpreted in a way I did not intend. My bad

[lumberjack_jeff]

19. "I'm 5' tall? I'm like 100lbs?... it's okay if I smack this stranger around."

I'm happy for cellphone cameras.

[Monk06]

125. I'm a girl I can do anything I want. Goodnight I'm done now

Miami College Princess

[Hoppy]

20. Its good to be entitled.

[Liberal_in_LA]

24. Wow

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

26. Give me a fucking break. This young woman has had her life ruined because of one drunken episode

Have you thought about how she's now going to pay back her medical student loans that are not dischargeable in bankruptcy? Have you thought about how she's wasted almost 30 years of education (including residency) because of one event where she did not injure anybody? Do you have any compassion that alcohol abuse is a mental disease requiring treatment?

Before the internet, this lady would just be responsible for paying for the car damage. Now, even liberals seemingly want an effective death penalty for her.

[shenmue]

28. Yeah, we should have known when the OP referred to 4chan and Reddit

The OP is going right on my ignore list.

[Mendocino]

31. "thirty years of education"

She's been in school since birth?

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

42. I was including preschool to residency, so yes

[Mendocino]

57. Counting preschool?

Riiighttt

[brooklynite]

73. I think that's where they teach you to be nice to people.

Maybe she needs to be held back?

[lumberjack_jeff]

77. +1 n/t

[miyazaki]

95. And there's quite a few here who should be going back

to preschool to learn those lessons.

[AZ Progressive]

33. Spoiled princess deserves the negative attention

Seriously, these kind of women deserve a dose of reality. You can't be allowed to get away with treating someone like this. I'm sure this is not the first time she has done this. I will say that society is partly responsible for spoiling pretty women to the point where for many, it goes to their head and they think that they can do anything they want.

[liberalhistorian]

118. "These kind of women"?

"Spoiled princess"? You DO realize that there are plenty of men who act like this as well and who treat women like this, that it ain't all just us dainty little ladyfolk, right? Sheesh.

[romanic]

37. Oh please.

Getting drunk does not equal mental disease nor does it excuse attacking somebody.

[rjsquirrel]

39. Exactly

Somehow all the righteous types here never got drunk and did anything stupid ... Or maybe just not on camera.

Yeah we all know there are NO anger management issues or substance abusers on DU!

You, taxpayer, have heavily investsed in someone who is a fourth year resident. 10 years of education. And it's an incredibly stressful path.

It would be so stupid to hound this woman out of medicine.


All this is is the two minute internet hate inside the old flesh machine. Now everyone feels superior to the pretty doctor lady who lost her shit.

Hope you never lose your shit ... On camera.

[brush]

65. Ahhh . . . 99% of people don't "lose their shit" as you put it.

That woman is nuts, probably bi-polar — I've had similar negative experiences during manic episodes with an ex-pouse — that woman in the video needs to get help.

[rjsquirrel]

105. Oh good diagnosis

doctor.

People are delusional. Almost no one I know hits the age of 30 without doing something that would make the internet hate them if they were unlucky enough to be filmed doing it. Of course, most people have selective memory and of course anyone can say anything they like on the internet, so I am sure DU is 99% full of people who have never lost their shit and made an ass of themselves in public. Of course. Lol.

And I'm sure no one you know or care about has ever acted like an ass either.

I know it's futile. The schadenfreude of getting to express hatred and derision toward a privileged person -- a pretty young doctor -- is just too strong. It's an industry online anymore, this shaming culture. It's like the Scarlet Letter reborn. The Chinese call it "human flesh search engine." It's mob mentality.

So get your hate on folks! Right over here! Grab some stones and start tossing them! Maybe we can get her to kill herself even if we can't end her career.

[brush]

107. Ok, keep on thinking most people go off liike that. I don't and most people know better.

[rjsquirrel]

113. Sure

You are surely a perfect person.

[brush]

130. Not perfect, just not nuts like that woman.

[liberalhistorian]

119. What a fucking bunch of bullshit.

It's almost like the "affluenza" argument, frankly. Yes, many people can be drunken asses, or even asses, but no, most people would NOT take it to the kind of extremes that she did. Most people, even when drunk, would not hit and kick and threaten and intimidate others, scream profane demands at them to get what they want, deliberately destroy property all while saying that they were small and didn't weigh much so they can do what they want, and then just walk away expecting to face no consequences or accountabilty. Sometimes bad, criminal behavior is just that, and people are just asses. Quit acting as if everyone has acted in such a way at one time, because they haven't.

[nomorenomore08]

84. I've had too much to drink numerous times in my life, yet I've never assaulted anyone.

Nor have I damaged property - let alone intentionally.

[Skittles]

102. you're chalking that up to a drunken escapade?

the woman clearly has other issues

[Laffy Kat]

109. Agreed. Manic?

Something else going on there. She may have been drinking but didn't seem drunk, IMO.

[Skittles]

110. certainly anger control

no way is she suitable to be a doctor until she gets some help

[Major Nikon]

55. Lots of people will never be neurologists

That doesn't mean their life is ruined. She still has more advantages than the vast majority of folks.

[Travis_0004]

58. I dobt really care

But I also dont think she threw her life away. This will be ild news in 3 months.

[brush]

67. Not quite. Stuff in cyberspace sticks around for forever and will haunt her for years

Employers and people google you nowadays. That video will come up.

She'll regret this manic episode for some time.

[brooklynite]

71. Are you saying that everyone who gets drunk is suffering from a mental disease?

Sometimes, people do stupid things. They need to be responsible for them.

[nomorenomore08]

82. If she'd merely been foolish, and not malicious, I would agree with you.

The fact she behaved in such an over-the-top manner suggests she has a dangerous temper, and that's not something you want in a medical professional, to say the least.

[Kaleva]

94. I miss the days when Democrats supported people like the driver....

when they were badly treated by people who thought they were superior.

[liberalhistorian]

120. Me too! Now we

get ninety-nine versions of the "affluenza" defense and no consideration at all for the real victim. Unbelievable.

[Logical]

100. LOL, how many time is it ok? 2? 3? She does not deserve to see patients. nt

[deathrind]

29. Sad.

So much lost (for now at the very least) for so little.

[cwydro]

30. Ugh.

This is just sad.

[JI7]

43. what an asshole and probably not the first time

I bet she abuses waiters and other workers also.

She also does not appear to be drunk.

[Paladin]

69. Looks like the good doctor developed her God Complex fairly early.

I wonder if she has a photo of Ben Carson taped to her refrigerator at home. Wouldn't surprise me.

[JI7]

81. maybe she can get together with the taco bell guy

[BuelahWitch]

91. I was thinking Pharma Bro

Thirty is likely too old for Jared.

[JI7]

92. Jared is the subway guy, i'm referring to the taco bell employee who beat up an uber driver and is

now suing that driver .

[BuelahWitch]

97. Sorry, so many instances of bad behavior it's hard to keep them straight.

[liberalhistorian]

121. WTF would he be suing the

driver HE beat up for? Good gravy, we really are in bizarro world now.

[jmowreader]

126. "Illegally" videotaping the Taco Bell guy beating the shit out of him

[Sam_Fields]

85. She needs to go to alcohol rehab

[me b zola]

87. Help me understand why you needed to post her gender in the title of your post

She is/was a jackass in her behavior, but why did you need to make a point of her gender? Would you ever begin a post by saying, "a male doctor"? Yeah, I didn't think so.

[pnwmom]

104. Good point. n/t

[Facility Inspector]

131. yeah!

shoulda just said spoiled, entitled princess instead.

[aikoaiko]

90. She appears prone to bad decisions

oy.

?quality=65&strip=all&w=640

[closeupready]

93. Icky. Glad I'm gay.

[Laffy Kat]

108. Did they actually prove she was intoxicated?

She didn't look or sound drunk to me. Maybe she had a breakdown. That poor Uber driver should be commended. He remained professional, composed and demonstrated restraint. Hopefully he got his car repaired and Dr. Belligerent gets the help she needs.

[alcibiades_mystery]

112. Internet shaming of the week

Assemble the mob!

[liberalhistorian]

114. I'm sorry, but sometimes people deserve it.

Did you actually watch the entire video? There is NO cause to EVER act like that, hitting and threatening someone, deliberately destroying their property, screaming profanities at them to do whatever she wanted, then just trying to walk away like nothing had happened and she'd done nothing. I would have been very frightened had I been the driver and it's obvious that that's how he felt. Actions have consequences, serious actions, like this, have, and should have, serious consequences. I don't know anyone who'd even consider acting like this, drunk/high or sober. I don't care that she's a goddamned doctor. In fact, that makes it worse. I wouldn't want someone like that anywhere near my hospital room or taking care of me and making medical decisions for me in any way whatsoever.

[CBGLuthier]

122. We know nothing about this woman. Perhaps she is mentally ill.

But let the shaming, condemnation all come out because we are all better people than her, right.

[JI7]

123. she is a Neurology Resident so if she does have a mental illness

it doesn't excuse what she did.

124. Where's the consideration for the TRUE victim, the driver?

Being mentally ill or alcoholic does not excuse you from consequences for such horrific behavior, nor should it. And I speak as someone who is bipolar.

132. People have completely lost their sense of proportion

What she did was stupid. Calling for her career to be over is just about equally stupid. She should have to make restitution to the Uber driver for damages and double it for punitive measure. She should pay a fine for drunk and disorderly and causing a public disturbance to the city. Her employer should put her on some form of probation with the understanding that a second incident will result in her dismissal. Uber should permanently revoke her account.

Let the punishment actually fit the crime. What she did was stupid and she should have to suffer some, but ending her career over that? Disproportionate.
