Doctor Won Lawsuit Against Trump, Now He's Lost His Job - CrimsonPhantom - 06-14-2018 12:22 PM
Quote:Dr. Eugene Gu, who sued President Donald Trump for blocking him on Twitter, had his five-year residency at Vanderbilt University cut short after three years.
According to The Tennessean, the university decided not to renew Gu's residency in a move he equates to being fired.
“If you don't complete all five years of your general surgery residency, you don't get credit for partial completion or anything like that. It's just like not doing residency at all,” Gu explained to The Hill.
While the university told The Tennessean that the decision had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with his work performance and professionalism, Gu isn't convinced.
Gu said the “take-home message” is that there's an “unwritten rule,” which is that residents are supposed to make the program and hospital look good even if that means staying silent.
“But as an Asian-American physician, unlike a white doctor, I don't always have the same luxury to stay silent,” he said.
After repeatedly criticizing Trump on social media, the president blocked Gu. But along with six others, he sued Trump and won.
In September 2017, Gu posted a photo on Twitter of him taking a knee “to fight white supremacy.”
He later tweeted about taking a knee and called it “absolutely unconscionable for Vanderbilt to fire me for peacefully protesting against racism.”
John Howser, a spokesperson for the hospital, refuted Gu's claims and said it's “simply untrue” that his political or social views affected his employment.

I read this story some time again. He was fired because he acted like a nut job. The tweet lawsuit was one of many symptoms

Anyone that would actually sue someone for blocking them on twitter is an absolute idiot.

He did it to himself. Unhinged alt-leftist that tweets non-stop, and allowed his politics to take precedent over his work. Imagine being Vanderbilt, and having your name attached to his rants that are artificially pushed to the top of all political feeds on twitter, and thus seen by millions. Imagine if/when he were to make a mistake, and the backlash it would cause.

I bet working with him was real fun.

He is no longer blocked by President Trump on twitter, and all it cost was his residency at Vanderbilt.
Big win for the #resistance.

President can’t legally block him.

Yup, same place/time he can cash that unemployment check and make the payment on his likely 250 grand of student loans.
Smart move Doctor Goo.

UofM is glad he won the battle but unfortunately, lost the war.

I don't know about that. Did you see the photo he posted of him kneeling in the hospital to "fight white supremacy"? He took that crap into the work place. I know a complaint was filed against him, because a patient didn't feel comfortable under his care.

He did it to himself and I, for one, have no sympathy for him.

It's called professionalism, something he obviously lacked. Don't take your politics to work. Especially the crazy kind. He learned the hard way, there's a new "Big Dog" in town.

Dr Goo really got into a sticky situation.
