Drunk Doc!

Re: Drunk Doc!

I saw the video on FB where she's being obnoxious as hell. She deserves everything she gets.

Driver wasn't Muslim, I think European descent, but cmon, she kneed him in the groin, he had every right to defend himself!

Re: Drunk Doc!

I think the driver was more than a gentlemen. Yeah, he pushed her to the ground (after she kicked his groin) but he didn’t attack her, yell at her, pull her out of the car. If I were him I wouldn’t have that much restraint and a cat fight woulda gone down. rawwwrrr

Re: Drunk Doc!

She did not look all that inebriated, many desis still subscribe to the disgusting class system where they feel that money and education makes them superior to others and they can be rude, offensive and condescending to other people. I have been around drinking all my life and haven't witnessed this kind of behavior. It is just stupid values and upbringing that is responsible for this.

Re: Drunk Doc!

Liar, she is definitely more than 100 lbs, now that's very unbecoming of a doctor, punish her I say.

He didn't have to hold her wrists down for so long or push her. He could have just walked away and kept a distance. Gotten back in the car and driven off even and called the police from a distance.

@PyariCgudia

I just saw the video. Uber driver is partially at fault. Why was he holding her wrists. He could have handled this without coming 5 feet near her or holding her wrists. And he held them for a while, didn't let go. When he did, he pushed her to the curb and she fell. That's when she got out of control.

If he did press charges she would say he was holding her against her well. She tries to get out of his grip twice from what I could see and he didn't let go of her wrists.

She is drunk so she is perceiving his aggression and retaliating. He is not drunk and should know better. He could have called the cops from inside his car and never have gotten out.

The filming crew was just the guy who originally ordered that uber. She was too wasted to realize it wasn't the uber she might have called, got in thinking it was her ride. Too drunk to sort it out.

If anything I'd say uber driver could be responsible. Either party tries to press charges then automatically they will have charges pressed on them so mutually both parties are staying quiet.

Too bad she lost her job over this. Matching into another residency will be hard.

This is no time to play spot the feminazi.

I'm curious who was the Uber driver. Muslim ?

The Indian crowd at UM-Jackson (love how UM pulls the "she isn't a UM employee" card), is mostly Gujarati and that too super anti-Pakistani and anti-Muslim. Like very visibly. How often they trash talk us at their parties. I know a few Muslim kids would show up at their events but when I saw a girl tear up a poster ad at UM for a Muslim event rolling her eyes and making mean gestures to her friends about us, I was done. Never went to one of their Indian meetings again. Very obnoxious crowd. The Indians in other parts of the country aren't like this at all and in fact Indian immigrants are way more welcoming to us. Maybe it's just a south Florida thing since professional behavior is horrid down here, but these kids come mostly from families in central and north Florida where indian doctors are raising families in small towns since money is so good in these small towns for docs. Most of them are not south Florida natives.

I work at another university now in Fl. Indian kids here don't behave like this.

Didn't you fight them? Or are you only so vocal and agressively opionated online?

Yea he did. It is clear from the video that she was trying to hit him and was getting on his face and that's why he was holding her hand. The reason he pushed her away is so that he can get in his car with her following him. That clearly did not work. If this ended in court, no judge or jury would find him guilty of anything.

Additionally, when she gets out of the car and starts walking the street (her walk, standing up, manner of speaking through the whole thing).....combined with the fact that as soon as the cops put her inside the car she started crying about her being a doctor/losing license.....all this shows that she was not drunk out her mind. She knew what she was doing. It would be one thing if she couldn't stand straight, slurring speech etc.....but nope......she has enough control to be aware that her actions were wrong.

The driver here was more than a gentleman. That 30-year-old woman should thank him over and over to him for not pressing charges and putting her in jail.

Now that's an interview I want to see.
She's gonna play the "feel sorry for me.....I did something wrong....I admit it....I have to take responsibility for my actions.....this was nothing more than bad judgement on my part....." card.
I wonder if her parents have invested in a good image consultant....

Re: Drunk Doc!

and here you go…

‘I’m here to own up to what I did. I’m taking responsibility for it and I’m asking for forgiveness,’ she said.
I’m here to own up to what I did. I’m taking responsibility for it and I’m asking for forgiveness.
Dr Anjali Ramkissoon
Ramkissoon previously spoke with Daily Mail Online on Sunday, when she said she didn’t feel she deserved the backlash she had received.

At the time, she was in hiding at her $2,000-a-month 41st-floor apartment at the Opera Tower in downtown Miami.

When we arrived about 7pm Sunday, exactly a week after the incident, it sounded like the 30-year-old neurologist was having a party.
Loud music as well as the voices of several other people seeped out of the apartment. It all went dead quiet after we knocked.

The first thing striking about Ramkissoon when she opened the door was that she, as she claims during the attack, is really tiny. As in 5-foot, 100 pounds all-wet tiny.

Second, she appeared to be much more soft-spoken than the dragon lady who tried to kick the Uber man in the groin then tried to hit him with a right hook in an incident that occurred when she tried to take someone else’s ride in Miami Beach.

‘How did you find me,’ she asked politely. 'Everybody’s been harassing my mother and my old neighbors but they won’t talk to them.
'I’m trying to stay under the radar with a few friends. I didn’t realize this was going to be such a big deal.
‘I had to change my cell phone number because strangers were calling to yell at me.’

Far from being contrite or apologetic, Ramkissoon admitted to being worried about her future because more than three million people viewed the four-minute video that a passerby taped on his cell phone.

After all, state records show Ramkissoon has an intern license that can only be used at Jackson Memorial Hospital and she needs to keep her nose clean to obtain her full medical license. Hospital officials, meanwhile, are considering firing her. That could affect her ability to practice medicine in the future.
Ramkissoon told us she’s suspended indefinitely and hasn’t been contacted by the hospital.

‘I’ve been indeed suspended,’ she said, 'and I don’t even know when I’m going to get back to work. I’m getting a lawyer and a public relations firm but I don’t know if it’s going to do any good.
‘I’m not sure I deserve what’s happening. But I don’t want to talk any more. Have a great night.’

Re: Drunk Doc!

UM was featured in an Economist article the other day:

MONTANA HIRSCHOWITZ remembers exactly when she decided she would seek her higher education abroad: one night when she was ten, and armed robbers broke in and terrorised her family in Johannesburg. Quang Nguyen dates his decision to no particular moment: he simply did not want to spend a big chunk of his classroom time on communist ideology, as is standard in his native Vietnam. Jehanne Aghzadi, from Morocco, had attended American schools all through her childhood; she wanted to continue her studies in English. Joy Lin was looking for a better course than she could find in China, with more social activities on campus and the chance to gain foreign work experience after graduating.

All four students ended up at the University of Miami in Florida, for reasons that varied as much as those that pushed them to leave home in the first place: good weather, highly regarded courses in subjects they liked, student aid and in one case a scholarship.

the proportion of Miami’s students who are foreign is three times the national average. Latin Americans like living in a Hispanic-majority city. Chinese students became interested in 2009, when Miami broke into the top 50 of the ranking of American universities produced by US News and World Report*.*
