The doctor is out ... of her mind.
A fourth-year neurology resident threw a temper tantrum caught on
camera at an Uber driver who refused to give her a ride after she
allegedly attempted to take the fare from someone else, witnesses said.
The young woman, apparently drunk after a night out on the town, was on
Thursday identified as Dr. Anjali Ramkissoon. She's been placed on
administrative leave from her residency with Jackson Health System in
Miami, the medical center said in a statement.
The fledgling M.D. has been "removed from all clinical duties.
"Jackson has launched an internal investigation," the statement reads.
"The outcome of the investigation will determine if any disciplinary
action will be taken, up to and including termination."
Ramkissoon started badgering the Uber driver about giving her a ride,
even though he'd been hailed by a different group,according to the
person who initially called the cab and who uploaded the video of the
attack.
“You don’t know who the f--k you’re messing with right now,” Ramkissoon
yells into the driver’s face during the argument outside a Miami
shopping center on Sunday, according to the witness, who uploaded the
video Tuesday.
When the driver refused, the drunken brat kicked, screamed and starting
throwing the cab driver’s possessions out the car window onto the
street.
The video begins when the two are standing outside the cab. The Uber
driver is seen restraining the woman by holding her hands and trying to
prevent her from getting in his car.
The driver repeatedly asks onlookers to call the cops as the petite
woman takes swings at him and attempts to knee him in the groin.
The Uber driver pushes her away at one point, causing the women to fall to the ground.
The driver’s attempt to escape the crazed Miamian while she is on the
ground doesn’t work — as she climbs right in the car and yells at him to
get in.
“Get in the f-----g car! Get the f--k in this car you f-----g piece of shit!” the woman demands.
The driver refuses to get in the car so the woman starts throwing
papers, a cellphone, a pair of scissors and everything else she could
find in the car out the window onto the street.
“I have lost my mind!” she said to gawking passersby.
The whole incident ends when the girl gives up and walks away.
“I guess that’s it! Good night," she says to onlookers before she walks off.
The person who uploaded the video to YouTube under the username Juan
Cinco, said police showed up after he stopped rolling. At that point,
Ramkissoon tried to walk away from the scene, the witness wrote.
"Once in handcuffs, she then tried kicking some of the police officers
on the scene," the user wrote. "It was only when they put her in the
police car that she started crying, apologizing, and claiming that she
would lose her medical license (she claimed to be a neurologist) if she
got arrested."
The parties later agreed to a cash settlement in lieu of an arrest.
The make-up was not captured on video.
“I know everyone has their bad days, or drunk moments, but this was
over the top,” the witness said in the description line of the YouTube
video.
“This Uber driver deserves a bonus from the company," he wrote. "It's safe to (say) this girl got off easy."
