A physician at Jackson Health System was captured on video attacking and yelling profanities at an Uber driver in Miami on the evening of Jan. 24, according to ABC News.
Anjali Ramkissoon, a fourth-year neurology resident at the Miami-based health system, has since been placed on administrative leave and removed from all clinical duties, according to a statement from Jackson.
"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 man who posted the video to YouTube said he called the Uber and Dr. Ramiksson intercepted, according to the Miami Herald. In the video, Dr. Ramikssoon can be seen hitting the driver in the face, getting in the passenger seat, demanding a ride and berating the driver with profanities. After he refuses, she begins throwing papers, scissors and other items out of the passenger seat window.
A spokeswoman for the Miami police confirmed officers responded to a call for a disturbance, but "there was no report written and there will be no investigation," according to the Miami Herald. The Uber driver declined to press charges against Dr. Ramikssoon.
"We actually settled while we were out there. I paid for the damages and I apologized to him and he accepted my apology," Dr. Ramkissoon said this morning on Good Morning America. "I'm so thankful that he did not press charges, that he did not have me arrested."
Uber has suspended her account while they investigate the incident.
"I see a person that is not me. I'm ashamed," said Dr. Ramkissoon, according to ABC News. "I still can't watch the entire video."
Dr. Ramkissoon said her father was admitted to the hospital that day, and just before the incident, she and her boyfriend of two years broke up.
"I was extremely stressed out that day," she said, according to the report. "It was probably one of the worst days of my life and I was caught at my lowest moment. Nothing like this has ever happened."
Dr. Ramkisson said she had been drinking prior to the incident.
According to ABC, Dr. Ramkissoon says she and her family have been the targets of cyberbullying since the video has gone viral.
