Miami doctor who berated Uber driver in viral video is fired
A pint-size Miami medical professional who infamously lost it on an Uber driver has now lost her job. ![]()
Dr. Anjali Ramkissoon has been terminated by Jackson Health System, where she served as a resident doctor, a spokeswoman said in a statement Friday.
“She is entitled to an appeal process,” the two-sentence statement reads. ![]()

Ramkissoon was publicly shamed after video of her drunkenly berating an Uber driver went viral in January.
The fourth-year neurology resident had hopped in the ride that had been hailed by someone else.
“You don’t know who the f--k you’re messing with right now,” Ramkissoon yelled at the driver, later identified as Igor Belic. ![]()
The string of verbal, and physical, abuse continued, with Ramkissoon tossing things out of the car, kneeing Belic in the groin and yelling at him to drive her home. ![]()
“Get in the f-----g car! Get the f--k in this car you f-----g piece of s--t!” she screamed in the five-minute clip. ![]()
“I have lost my mind!” she yelled at gawking passersby. ![]()
The infamous incident racked up nearly 7 million views on YouTube — and sidelined Ramkissoon from her job. ![]()
The administrative leave lasted until Friday, when she was fired. It’s unclear if she plans to appeal.
In the interim, Ramkissoon went on a goodwill tour that included a stop on “Good Morning America.”
“There’s absolutely no excuse for my actions,” she said in a teary interview. “I’m ashamed. I’m so sorry. I’ve hurt so many people.” ![]()
The doctor claimed she’d been dumped and her father had been hospitalized in the hours before the embarrassing drunken scene. ![]()
“In the moment I was just so angry, I wasn’t really thinking. If I could take it back I would,” Ramkissoon told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. ![]()
alcoholism and anger management issues aside, would you tap that?
