4 UF Health employees complain of bullying, racism and abuse from physician
The incredible student journalists at The Independent Alligator recently reported on Dr. Barbara Knox, a pediatrician at UF Health Jacksonville's First Coast Child Protection Team, who has faced serious allegations of workplace misconduct, patient misdiagnoses, and discriminatory behavior throughout her career. Hired in June 2022, Knox had previously been investigated in Wisconsin and Alaska for bullying staff, violating patient privacy, and making racist remarks. She has been accused of misdiagnosing abuse, particularly among children of color, while overlooking clear signs of abuse in white families. Her past actions led to lawsuits, wrongful custody losses, and even jail time for families based on her medical opinions. Despite UF health staff complaints and widespread fallout, even welfare workers close to the situation are commenting that UF’s continued employment of Knox fails to adequately address her horrific behavior.
1 Foul-mouthed fan banned from Eagles home games, fired from job after viral tirade against woman
During the NFC wild-card game at Lincoln Financial Field, an Eagles fan escalated friendly banter with two Green Bay Packers fans, including a woman, into a misogynistic tirade as the Eagles' lead grew. The man hurled vile insults, including calling the woman offensive names and making degrading remarks about her appearance. The situation de-escalated only when her fiancé began recording, resulting in the video going viral. As a result, the man, identified as Ryan Caldwell, an IT business analyst for BCT Partners, was fired from his job and banned from attending Eagles games at the stadium. BCT Partners condemned his behavior as "vile, unacceptable, and diametrically opposed" to the company’s values of inclusion, respect, and dignity. Read more on the incident on NBC News.
