Doctor suspended after video shows her attacking Uber driver

The video has gone viral with more than 750,000 views on YouTube since it was uploaded on Tuesday.

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.

In the clip, the driver is seen holding her wrists in the street and saying “get some help” while she mocked his threats to call 911.

The driver did not press charges against Ramkissoon. “That’s destruction of property!” another bystander tells Anjali, but she’s just not having it. Once there’s nothing left to throw, Anjali simply leaves the vehicle and starts strutting away, but with the police on the scene yet, the driver follows her down the street – and the video cuts.

Eventually, the police showed up at the scene of the incident and arrested the woman who, according to the video’s description, began “crying, apologizing, and claiming that she would lose her medical license” if she was arrested.

The driver was there to pick up someone else, but once he arrived, Ramkissoon demanded that he take her where she was going instead.

“Get the f- in the auto”, she said, twice.

Soon after, Ramkissoon gets out of the auto, says goodnight and walks away.

“We were called for a disturbance”, she told the newspaper. Then it shows her kicking the driver, and him pushing her to the ground. “I’m a five-foot girl who weighs a hundred pounds; I’m getting really belligerent right now”.

The confrontation followed a similar incident in Southern California last October, when a corporate Taco Bell executive viciously attacked an Uber driver – an assault that police said was captured on a dashboard camera.

“She attacked me”, he told the dispatcher.

The hospital said in a statement: ‘Jackson has launched an internal investigation.

Mr Cinco said the Uber driver was “too good of a person” and made a decision to take a cash settlement – “only enough to pay his cellphone bill and maybe his cable bill” – rather than take legal action.

Uber has suspended Ramkissoon’s account.
