At my husband's Neurology Office - The Residents are in training seven years. So if she is a four-year resident she is half way thru her training..what a waste. As unless there is a complete turn around; acknowledgment by her - this is not going to get better.

It is worrisome to think this is the moral caliber of someone who may advise me in a medical situation. If I saw this video, before going into her examination room, would I continue...no. I would wonder whether her professional judgement is as impaired as her personal.

Medical education is grueling. I can't believe that someone who has invested all that time and money would be stupid enough to behave as she did. What a waste!

This is already damaging her "career." Someone added her name to one of those "rate your physician" sites and when I looked, it had 107 one-star reviews, all posted today, all referencing her Uber incident. There was one 5-star review, but it was clearly a tongue-in-cheek post. I'm sure the site managers will be onto this if they're not already. This incident will follow her like a shadow.

Have you seen the video of the fourth-year med student doctor in neurology and her meltdown on the Uber driver? She has been suspended by the med school pending investigation. Here is the article with link to video:

Kudos to the driver for keeping his cool after getting kneed in the groin and having his possessions tossed into the street.

What do you think? Should she lose her medical license? I would like to see something happen, like AA meetings for a year, no alcohol, etc., etc. before she gets any medical privileges back. If ever. Another case of too little parenting?
I medical STUDENT is just that - a student. She does not have a license.

According to Wikipedia, residency is a state of graduate medical training. Residency periods can range from 3-7 years, depending on the area of specialty. It is stated in the article that this woman is in her 4th year. Typically after completion of the 1st year of residency, a general medical license is obtained from the state licensing board to allow for more autonomy when treating patients, as opposed to constant and direct supervision by a licensed physician. Also, it says in the article that the woman told officers she feared losing her medical license over the incident.

There are many people, including highly educated and wealthy ones, who have a sense of entitlement and have problems with alcohol. This one young woman is not alone. I hope that this is a huge wake up call and that she gets the help she needs.

I have seen the video. I met a male Nurse Practicioner while in the hospital for a short stay. I asked him how he liked his job and he replied that he did. He shared that he was in Med School to be a doctor, but the cost was just too prohibited to complete the courses, etc. He instead became a Nurse Practioner. He also shared that is was sad and eye opening how many if not most all students and interns admitted to all that they were in it just for the money and the job security. No real care about people as there would always be people who needed a doctor and people who would get sick.

DO NO HARM Hah, I've had plentty of doctors through mh HMO who don't give a care about people, it's just a job to them. You are on your own.

You can argue back and forth about whether or not she should lose her license and be fired, but the bottom line is........is this a person you would want as your physician?

yes, she should definitely with out a doubt lose her medical license with no chance of ever being able to get it back.

her attitude stinks. she comes off as if she can do what ever she

wants and never suffer any consequences. in addition to which,

she seems to think her s--t doesn't stink!

if it was up to me, her career for the rest of her life would be spent

going to prison's, cleaning toilets every day for the rest of her miserable, inhumane life.

a thing like that deserves the very worst possible treatment life has to offer. as far as i'm concerned, there's nothing that is evil enough that could happen to that piece of dirt.

i have no tolerance for anyone who mistreats another human

being, or animal. that's where i draw the line. there's just no excuses, or look the other way or give a 2nd chance. you mistreat a human being, or animal you die. that's just me.

sorry if i offended anyone, or if you think my actions are too drastic. but this is just how i feel. the very thought of deliberately hurting someone or an animal, just gets me in my heart. i just can't stand it. the very thought of it just makes me want to cry.

I know each residency is different ... depending upon the program and hospital affiliation, but I've known residents to get kicked out of programs for much less than what's shown on that video. I recall one incident where a resident was complaining to a fellow resident that "if [he] had to treat one more fat, [minority], woman with diabetes, he'd scream." The patient overheard this conversation, went directly to the program director and complained. The resident was released from the program the next day.
