A Miami neurologist whose profanity-laced rant at an Uber driver became a viral sensation has gotten her walking papers.

Jackson Health System officials released a statement Friday saying that fourth-year resident Anjali Ramkissoon, 30, would be terminated, the Miami Herald reported.

The hospital’s statement said she has a right to appeal her termination.

The video, shot in Miami’s Brickell area and posted to YouTube on Jan.?19, shows the apparently drunk, shorts-clad neurosurgeon trying to commandeer another Uber customer’s ride.

She is seen hitting the Uber driver in the face and screaming profanities and insults at him. After landing on the ground following a tussle in which she tried to knee the driver in the groin, she jumps up and climbs into the front seat of his car, demanding the driver “get the f–k in the car!”

quote:

In a round of media interviews a week after the meltdown, Ramkissoon offered a long list of excuses for the now-infamous tantrum.

“Just minutes prior to that altercation with the Uber driver, my boyfriend and I of two years had just broken up,” she told “Good Morning America.” Her father was also hospitalized that morning, she said.

“It was probably one of the worst days of my life, and I was caught at my lowest moment.”

What took the hospital 3 months to decide this after the video was first public?

Terrible reporting. This girl was a neurology resident. Clearly the reporter doesn't know the difference between a neurologist and neurosurgeon.

Perhaps they gave her some criteria to meet and she may have failed them.

She was less than a year away from being set for life, after working her arse off for at least the past 12 years, only to see it all evaporate from being a drunken idiot.

I can't imagine that kind of failure.

I was thinking the same. Looking forward to her career in porn.

If she was a good resident, then it is a terrible decision to fire.

I'd still let her spread her arse cheeks and sit on my face.

Yup.

As long as her license isn't impacted, she will chill for a while and then begin the road back to respectability. She will be able to get a job.

She's screwed; there's no way she'll find another residency. Her career as a physician for all intents and purposes just got ended.
