As per the media reports, Jackson Health System officials released a statement saying that Anjali Ramkissoon (fourth-year neurology resident) would be terminated, on Friday.
In January, after the video of her tantrum surfaced, she was placed on administrative leave.
In the footage, Ramkissoon, reportedly fully inebriated, (wearing white shorts and an orange shirt) slaps the Uber driver and kicks him in the groin.
She was pushed to the ground, but she got up and jumped into the passenger seat of the Uber vehicle.
“Yeah, get in the (expletive) in car! Get the (expletive) in the car!” she says to the Uber cab driver.
“Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I bet they won't. I bet they won't. Get the (expletive) in the car you piece of (expletive). Get the (expletive) in the car!”
The video then shows her tossing papers and a cell phone out the window of the car cab.
Cops were called but the Uber driver declined to press charges, media reported.
