Quote:A neurology resident at 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 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.

“Get some help,” the driver says to her.

She gets in the passenger side of the car and demands a ride in a profanity-laced rant.

He refuses. She then begins throwing papers, scissors and other things out of his car.

Miami police spokeswoman Frederica Burden confirmed that officers responded but said no report was taken.

“We were called for a disturbance,” she said. “There was no report written, and there will be no investigation.”

The YouTube poster, who explained that he called the Uber and she intercepted, said “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 … if she got arrested.”

The poster added that the unnamed driver accepted a settlement and didn’t press charges.

A spokesman for Uber said in a statement Thursday that the passenger’s account has been suspended while the company investigates: “Uber expects everyone in our community to treat each other with respect and common courtesy, and we have a zero tolerance policy for all forms of harassment and abuse.”

The guy who posted the video has the full story:

Quote:This Uber driver deserves a bonus from the company (and a medal for having self-restraint while dealing with this animal). I know everyone has their bad days, or drunk moments, but this was over the top (i thought I knew what psycho was until i experienced this).

[Sunday night in Miami, Fl (Mary Brickell Village)]
We were on the phone with this uber driver while he pulled up to our location. Out of nowhere the girl in the video gets in the backseat of his car and won't get out. We told the driver it was ok, to just cancel our ride, but he did not want to take her anywhere so he kept telling her to get out.

Eventually the driver gets out and says he's calling the cops to get her out of the car. After a couple of minutes of the driver pretending to talk to the cops (im assuming he was pretending because they never showed up at first), the girl decides to reach into the front seat, grab his keys, and start walking away with his keys in her hands.... That's where the video starts...

The police finally showed up after this video ends. The girl was in a taxi cab about to leave when the showed up and they had to stand in front of the taxi and tell him to stop. The girl eventually got up from the area the cops had told her to sit and wait, and tried to walk away from the scene.

Once in handcuffs, she then tried kicking some of the police officers on the scene. 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 Uber driver was too good of a person and decided to take a cash settlement instead of pressing charges. In his words, "...she was crying (and) said (she) was sorry for everything." I don't want to disclose the amount the driver was paid, but can say he could only use the money to pay his cellphone bill and maybeee his cable bill.

It's safe to safe this girl got off easy.

And the story has gone national:

I'm not saying she was correct to behave the way she did (she wasn't), but why the hell didn't the Uber (I still don't know what Uber is) driver just take her to where she needed to go? Taxi drivers and other kinds of drivers obviously have to deal with drunk people quite frequently. It seems like the driver just made the who situation much worse than it needed to be.

Edit: I finally read the story and it doesn't really make sense to me. He should have just given her a ride.

Absurdly dangerous to extend contact with someone like that and let them isolate you. Especially if she refuses to get out of the front passenger seat. Just being in passenger seat can get him fired, and leaves him WIDE open to sexual assault complaints.

Also he can lose his job to one star reviews, what are the odds she gives him a good one?

tl;dr - Don't negotiate with terrorists.

This bitch is so ratchety that she deserves two threads of scorn. Plus I was highly interested in Jariel's jaded Miami take on this story.
