Following the discovery of her “wrong meds” tweet, it was found out that Dr. Kollab has been posting anti-Semitic messages on social media for “years.” In the past, Kollab has written that she hopes “Allah will kill the Jews” and referred to Jewish people as “dogs,” according to Coed.
People on social media where quick to point out the doctor’s blatant disregard of the hippocratic oath, while others called for an immediate investigation.
The Cleveland Clinic confirmed that Kollab is no longer employed at the hospital.
“This individual was employed as a supervised resident at our hospital from July to September 2018. She is no longer working at Cleveland Clinic. In no way do these beliefs reflect those of our organization. We fully embrace diversity, inclusion and a culture of safety and respect across our entire health system,” the Cleveland Clinic said in a statement.
