On Tuesday, she spoke to Gossip Extra, who managed to track her down at her house.

"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," Ramkissoon said in the interview.

But her bizarre behavior has become a huge deal. Her tirade might cost her her job. After the video surfaced, she was put on administrative leave.

She confirmed the disciplinary action in the interview, "I've been indeed suspended 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."

As I said before, I hope she gets the proper help.

1. As a manager I would fire her

I don't think she should lose any licenses to practice medicine, but as an employer I would terminate her. Frankly she made an extremely bad decision. Does she make lots of bad decisions? Maybe she wasn't a very good doctor to begin with. We don't know. But the bottom line is if you act like a complete insane person in public then you must reap what you sow.

2. Fire her. I think she should lose her ability to practice medicine.

3. The driver in question evidently forgave her and settled for the damages to their car

I think I can be as generous as the actual victim.

4. She's got a public relations firm

what does she need "help" for.

5. My thought exactly. Getting a spin doctor. Sad little twit.

12. Because with the modern world

She needs to find a way to make this not be the first/only thing people ever know about her. Think about the worst thing you ever said or done and ask if you'd like every future employer or date to have just that to judge you on.

Obviously she fucked up, but in the grand scheme of fuck ups, this is small potatoes. She didn't curb stomp kittens.

6. -- reminds me of the "vet" that got fired after shooting a cat with a crossbow.

Her signature quote: "I'm awesome."

7. send her to Dennys

for pancakes .

8. She was on ABC this morning

Said she just broken up with her boyfriend at the club and had an all around bad day (of course she made it worse). She apologized profusely and said it was all on her (though she felt there were mitigating circumstances).

9. I like that a lot better than what's in the OP

I still hope she gets the right help.

10. I would hope so too, Steve

While the incident was certainly off-the-wall, I would hope that it doesn't permanently ruin her life. I have had a couple of meltdowns in my past, fortunately before the advent of cell phone video and the innertubz.

11. I agree

I think the vast majority of us have had a meltdown that we damn sure wouldn't want on the internet in front of billions of people. As long as she fully cooperates with the hospital (and maybe the medical licensing board later on), I have no issues with her.

13. Her behavior looked like a furious breakup, but she projected her fury at her boyfriend on Uberguy.

On edit: I regret to have to admit to having had my share of meltdowns ... but fortunately not in public or with a stranger.

14. If I were to film everyone in my cab having a bad day...I could pull off a weekly series.

If you are going to transport people, particularly intoxicated people, for fun and profit, you will have some upset and/or anti-social passengers.

No animals were harmed in the process, so I hope people forgive the poor woman.
