I would hate to get hit by the Internet hate train. Imagine having the nation's hall monitors documenting how much you suck in perpetuity.

I need to imagine because it hasn't happened to me. Here I am using "imagine" in the "form a mental image or concept of" sense of the word instead of the "believe (something unreal or untrue) to exist or be so" sense.
It's a lot more than that, dude. People will find out where your family lives, and start sending them death threats. They'll steal your identity, and wreck your credit. They'll find out where you work, and start harassing your place of employment until you're fired. They'll send false tips to law enforcement to get you put on the no-fly list. Hack your computer to make it seem like you've been downloading kiddy porn....
It's genuinely scary stuff.

People are sacks of shit, the internet just exponentially magnifies that fact.

That's so true that you'd think it was a quote from Socrates himself.
I found the doctor's behavior to be reprehensible and if her employer chose to take action over it I have no grievance with that. However, this cyber terrorism is concerning stuff. Who's worse, the doctor who drank too much and let her inner bitch out to play, or those who take glee in ruining someone's life via the internet? I know where me vote would be. In reality, it's probably some sixteen year old kid eating Hotpockets in the basement, or some special snowflake, entitled college brat. You know, the people who will inherit our world. Nice.

That whole website just reeks of Men's Rights Activism and all other sorts of juvenile antics perpetuated by dudes who got rejected by chicks like Dr. Ramkissoon.
Yeah, she made a mistake, and I do feel like being let go by the health system was a reasonable outcome given her situation. I'm not well read on the process of physician residency programs, but I suspect getting back in the game will take some additional displays of humility by the aforementioned doctor. I wish her luck, and also humility. Perhaps it it is something for her to reflect on and perhaps her outlook on the world will have changed for the better. Tough love can be the best cure.
Meh, just a minor speed bump. She'll transfer to another program soon and will enjoy the short vacation. Partied hard in college and had to attend medical school OCONUS. Got the residency based on legacy status. Her parents opened all the doors, all she had to do was simply walk through and not mess up. Hard to sympathize with that.
