Ok now you are taking it too far. Yes we all have done some regretful things but I've never hit someone in public, or trash a cab driver's car. Normal people don't resort to violence like this woman. When I was young and dumber I knew my limitations. I knew there were things I couldn't do. This spoiled brat is an mature, adult woman. Not a drunken teen or collage kid. She is a professional that works in the medical field that is supposed to help people.
She deserves the hate she is getting. She did this to herself. No one forced her to attack the uber driver. And now, thanks so camera phones this woman is being exposed. She needs to be made an example out of so that other people think twice about assaulting people for no reason. If she was defending herself then this would be a different story but the video is as clear as day.
How am I taking it too far? This has blown up on youtube and yahoo news. She is already getting all the negative results of what she did. How much more do you want to have happen to her? Seems like an awful lot of wasted hateful energy on some people's behalf.
Residency is stressful, and not everyone can deal with that stress properly. Looks to me that she hit the tipping point and this guy was on the other side of that.
He chose not to press charges, as did the cops. These were the only parties wronged, and if they forgave then shouldn't that be the end of it?
I'm not keen on law, but certainly giving someone a few hundred dollars isn't really a settlement right? So if the driver actually is not ok with the outcome wouldn't a greater future revenue stream in line with her becoming an attending be better for him (remember she is certain to have an absurd amount of student debt given her school of choice).

Although I am replying to you please don't think I'm saying you are going too far but that this is just a response to anyone who might feel a little sorry for her.
I'd go so far to say she's a sociopath and that I'm glad she may no longer practice. There's just some things you can't do and some lines you can't cross. Maybe she just needs help and AA or whatever but part of me believes she's a cold hearted snake.
Just imagine thst guy trying to defend himself without video. Look how she says, "I'm 5 feet 100 pounds or whatever." She knows society is going to tend to side with her in an altercation. So shes already hedging because she knows the police will want to know why shes so upset or crying or hurt and they are going to be all over that dude. A doctors word vs an uber driver. Oh yeah she's petite and pretty.Yeah women may not commit as many horrible crimes as men but i think they can be just as evil and manipulative.
So I'm glad this woman may no longer practice again. Would not want patients in her care and at her mercy. The cops and the driver should not have let her off. But it is hard to fight biology.
Even if she completes residency and maintains her license she will essentially be blackballed from employment in with any esteemed hospital or practice. She would have to move to another country, or work for a smaller no-name practice, or go into another field like insurance or pharma maybe that has limited patient contact. So yeah, regardless, her career as a practicing doctor is ruined. The internet never goes away.
Her best bet is to go to a separate country, maybe changing names. She apparently has an Carribean Medical degree, and I would venture to guess from this one example her quality of education was lacking. Maybe she spent 8 years in the drink-study program.
I am intrigued by how many are supporting her. If she was a low income person, everyone would be united in their desire to rebuke her. It doesn't make sense--shouldn't privileged, educated people be held to a HIGHER standard than others?
And I wouldn't worry about this young women. This will not ruin her life by any means. She will be embarrassed for a little while, everyone will forget about it, and there will be no significant consequences. Her lead resident will tell her to behave herself and lay low for a while and that will be that. She will be a neurologist making half a million dollars a year in no time.
Wait, she kicked at officers and didn't get arrested, but there are boys and men who do much less, and they get shot or hurt by the cops? Not saying she deserved the same fate, but it's just baffling that she got off so easily when she was definitely the "bad guy" in this situation.
No. This is absolutely not ok. If, as a society, we deem this type of behavior acceptable, then we're royally screwed. This is not some 14 year old girl... this is a full grown woman acting like an animal at a zoo. On top of that, she works in a profession that literally puts lives in her hands. I'm tired of these self-absorbed, entitled, over-grown sorority types thinking that they rule the world. And, I'm even more tired of our society essentially telling them that they do.
