I can't believe the people who say she should be punished but not fired. Have you any idea how hard college students bust their butt to get into med school and then how hard med students bust their butt then face internship and residency? Her slot could've been given to someone who wouldn't act like a belligerent, self-entitled jerk. People go out and drink everyday without committing assault and vandalism. Is that so high a bar??? Sorry but this isn't someone pushing paper in an isolated, low-profile job. They're handling your most precious commodity--your health--and character really counts.
This is a joke, right? Having a low income temporarily before you start making six figures in a few years is not 'low-income'.
Despite student loan debt all of the doctors (specialists) I know are all living pretty large: expensive houses, new BMWs/Audis, vacations around the world, high dollar private schools for their kids. And they are in their 30s/early 40s. Doctors in this country are very privileged, not only in terms of money.
Seriously, she will be fine.
A neurologist will make roughly the same hourly rate as a teacher when you compare lifetime take home pay to lifetime hours worked.
And again we were talking about her at this point in time, where she is making less than someone can live on apparently.
Let's not forget that even the relatively modest salary of her speciality isn't guaranteed, as made blatantly apparent by the will of the net.
I don't know her from eve, and maybe she is a tyrant, but is the destruction of one person over one incident where no one presses charges in the interests of society?

No one can take her second half of her fourth year of residency slot. Shes going to be in a position where she's taking on a workload very close to that of an attending, so that loss hits the hospital (they will dump more work on the other residents, and faculty might pick up some of the slack too).
Let her work, let her finish, no good comes from canning her.

Although the TV show House was fictional, there are a lot of doctors like House that are complete @sses but do good medical work. There are jobs for doctors that do not involve much public contact, reading x-rays, surgical assistants, conducting and reviewing medical research, etc...
I think she is hot.
An btw, I followed a link provided earlier in this thread and determined that she graduated from a low status college in the Caribbean that wantabe doctors attend when they can't get into a US college, so it isn't like she is going to have some important job, she will probably end up injecting filler and botox at a medspa.

No, I don't think he should necessarily loss his job if that was his only brush with the law, but I don't even know what his job was. Maybe he had other issues, and they just used it as an excuse to fire him. Maybe TB has some behavior/arrest restrictions in their employment agreement.

Unbelievable. You sound like you're a doctor, or at least work in a hospital. If you're OK with what this woman did, then this speaks a lot for the quality of people you work with.
I hope I never, ever have to go to your hospital for any kind of a health issue. I'd rather take my chances by not going to a doctor at all than putting my life & health in the hands of people who think it's OK for their fellow doctors to go around beating up innocent people and acting like spoiled, entitled brats.
What a messed-up world we live in where people are actually excusing the unconscionable actions of this low-life trash.

There have been numerous threads of cops ( many rookies ) losing their jobs over their apparent drunk behavior. We hold certain professions to a higher standard than others - that includes doctors and cops - who are suppose to serve and help people. This girl had ample avenues to use to control her stressful situation and didn't.
Do we all make mistakes and do things we normally wouldn't - yes - but then we also have to face the consequences and for those who choose to serve and protect the public - those consequences come at a higher price.
She got off easy as far as I'm concerned. I would not want her working on me.

I am not saying her life should be ruined. I have no opinions about what consequences she should face.
My point is that someone of her privilege should be held to a HIGHER standard, not a lower one.
If this woman had been overweight and a Wal-Mart employee, few people would be saying that she should be let off with a slap on the wrist or that she should be excused because her life is 'stressful'.
I am not even going to comment on your assertions about her low wages and the 'modest' salary of neurologists. In few worlds is a mean salary of $232,000 'modest'. You are either being deliberately obtuse or are truly clueless.

I wasn't talking about someone taking her slot right now in residency--I was referring to the fact that many people aspire to be physicians but never will be because they have screw ups in their past that would prevent them from getting accepted to medical school. Why should she get special treatment? And she's 30 not 18 or 20, so that makes it worse.
Yes, the good that comes from canning her is keeping an a-hole away from patients.

Yes it's a TV show and fictional so why bring it up.
Who cares if you think she's hot? I hope next time you're up for a promotion against someone else at work, your boss decides based on who's hotter.
Pathetic.
