I'M GETTING REALLY BELLIGERENT.
Reporter: CAUGHT ON CAMERA
WITH AN UBER DRIVER.
IT HAPPENED IN THE HEART OF
DOWNTOWN MIAMI.
CALL 911 PLEASE.
Reporter: RAMKISSOON THINKS
THIS IS HER DRIVER.
IT ISN'T.
HE'S WAITING TO PICK UP SOMEONE
ELSE.
BUT STILL SHE DEMANDS HE DRIVE
HER AFTER THINGS GET PHYSICAL
AND SHE'S PUSHED TO THE GROUND,
SHE GETS INTO THE CAR AND DOES
THIS.
MANY OF YOU CHIMING IN RIGHT
AWAY ONLINE VIA LETTER WRITING
THIS PERSON SHOULD NOT BE
PRACTICING MEDICINE.
ANOTHER SAYING, I WOULDN'T GO
ANYWHERE NEAR THE FACILITY FOR
MEDICAL CARE IF SHE CONTINUES TO
WORK THERE.
AND ANOTHER SAYING, SHE SHOULD
BE ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT.
BUT THE DRIVER SPEAKING TO LOCAL
STATION WTVJ IS NOT PRESSING
CHARGES.
SHE WAS ERRATIC.
SHE WAS LIKE SCREAMING, CURSING,
YOU KNOW, CALLING ME NAMES.
Reporter: RAMKISSOON NOW ON
ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE FROM THE
HOSPITAL WHILE IT CONDUCTS AN
INTERNAL INVESTIGATION AND UBER
HAS SUSPENDED HER.
FOR "GOOD MORNING AMERICA," GIO
BENITEZ, ABC NEWS, NEW YORK.
DR. ANJALI RAMKISSOON JOINS
US NOW.
WELCOME TO "GMA."
THANKS FOR COMING ON THIS
MORNING.
THAT VIDEO IS SO HARD FOR ALL OF
US TO WATCH.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT'S LIKE
FOR YOU.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT WHAT DO YOU
SEE?
I SEE A PERSON THAT IS NOT
ME, THAT'S -- I'M ASHAMED.
I STILL CAN'T WATCH THE ENTIRE
VIDEO.
EVERY TIME SOMEONE BRINGS IT UP
OR TRIES TO ASK ME WHAT WAS
HAPPENING AT THIS POINT, I
CAN'T.
SO WHAT WAS HAPPENING?
I WAS REALLY -- A LOT HAD
HAPPENED THAT DAY ACTUALLY.
THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THAT
POINT, MY FATHER HAD BEEN PLACED
IN THE HOSPITAL AND JUST MINUTES
PRIOR TO THAT ALTERCATION WITH
THE UBER DRIVER, MY BOYFRIEND
AND I OF TWO YEARS HAD JUST
BROKEN UP SO HE WENT HOME, I WAS
THERE BY MYSELF.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DRINKING.
YES, AND I KNEW THAT I HAD
HAD A FEW DRINKS SO I DECIDED --
ACTUALLY I HAD DRIVEN TO THAT
PLACE THAT NIGHT.
BUT I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY
CAR HOME SO I LEFT MY CAR THERE
AND THAT WAS WHY I WAS TRYING TO
GET THE UBER TO GET HOME.
EVERYTHING YOU SAID SOUNDS
PRETTY BAD BUT YOU KNOW IT'S NO
EXCUSE, RIGHT?
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE
FOR MY ACTIONS.
I AM ASHAMED.
I AM SO SORRY.
I HAVE HURT SO MANY PEOPLE WITH
THIS.
MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS, MY JOB.
THE UBER DRIVER, NO ONE DESERVES
TO BE TREATED THAT WAY AND THAT
IS -- THAT'S NOT ME.
DID YOU APOLOGIZE TO HIM.
I DID.
SO WE ACTUALLY SETTLED WHILE WE
WERE OUT THERE -- I PAID FOR THE
DAMAGES AND I APOLOGIZED TO HIM
AND HE ACCEPTED MY APOLOGY AND
I'M SO THANKFUL THAT HE DID NOT
PRESS CHARGES, THAT HE DID NOT
HAVE ME ARRESTED.
I'M GRATEFUL.
HAS ANYTHING LIKE THIS
HAPPENED BEFORE?
YOU DID SEEM TO SNAP THERE.
I DID.
I WAS EXTREMELY STRESSED OUT
THAT DAY.
IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE WORST
DAYS OF MY LIFE AND I WAS CAUGHT
AT MY LOWEST MOMENT AND NOTHING
LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED.
IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF
CHARACTER.
ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME, THEY SEE
THAT VIDEO AND THEY SAY THAT'S
NOT YOU AND IT REALLY JUST --
IT'S NOT ME.
ANY PART OF YOURSELF SEE
YOURSELF DOING THIS AND GET A
HANDLE ON IT AND SAY, WAIT, I'VE
LOST CONTROL HERE?
YOU KNOW WHAT, HINDSIGHT IS
20/20.
EVERY TIME I LOOK BACK AT IT I
SAY COULD HAVE, SHOULD HAVE,
WOULD HAVE AND IN THE MOMENT I
WAS JUST SO ANGRY, I WASN'T
REALLY THINKING AND IF I COULD
TAKE IT BACK, I WOULD.
YOU'VE INVESTED A LOT IN YOUR
CAREER.
I HAVE.
AS A DOCTOR.
NOW SUSPENDED.
YES.
YOU SAW SOME OF THE COMMENTS
IN GIO'S PIECE SAYING THIS
PERSON SHOULD NOT BE A DOCTOR.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THEM?
I HAD A BAD NIGHT.
I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE.
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
AND THAT PERSON IS NOT ME AND,
YES, I'M ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE
FROM MY JOB RIGHT NOW, BUT AT
THE SAME TIME, THIS IS NOT JUST
AFFECTED MY CAREER IT'S ALSO
AFFECTED MY FAMILY, IT'S
AFFECTED MY PERSONAL LIFE.
I GET IT.
I DID SOMETHING EXTREMELY
HORRIBLE AND I'M EXTREMELY SORRY
FOR IT.
BUT I'VE ALSO BEEN RECEIVING
HORRIBLE MESSAGES ON CYBERSPACE,
THE CYBERBULLYING, MY FAMILY WAS
TARGETED.
THEIR ADDRESS WAS LEAKED.
I RECEIVED MESSAGES TELLING ME I
SHOULD KILL MYSELF.
THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN RAPED
THAT NIGHT.
I DON'T -- I THINK IT'S
RIDICULOUS AND I AM HERE TO OWN
UP TO WHAT I DID.
I'M TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT
AND I'M ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS.
HOW DO YOU MAKE IT GOOD AND
GET YOUR JOB BACK?
I THINK THE BEST THING AT
THIS POINT IS TO JUST TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT I'VE
DONE.
I DID IT.
AND I'M ASHAMED OF WHAT I DID.
AND THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN
AGAIN AND I THINK AT THE SAME
TIME I SHOULD ALSO SPEAK OUT
THAT, YOU KNOW, TO SEND A
MESSAGE OUT TO PEOPLE AND THE
PUBLIC TO BE CAREFUL AND USE MY
STORY AS A MESSAGE AS A LESSON
TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO IN
PUBLIC BECAUSE THE THINGS THAT
WE DO CAN BE TAPED AND WE CAN
HAVE TO SUFFER SEVERE
RAMIFICATIONS FOR THESE THINGS.
