This incident is part of a larger trend, as an increasing number of employees have been dismissed or suspended for their reactions to Kirk&#8217;s assassination on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The woman, who worked as an anesthesiologist at Riverside Walter Reed Hospital, posted on social media, revealing &#8220;highly inappropriate comments supporting violence against a public figure,&#8221; according to an email from the hospital. Riverside Hospital became aware of her post on Thursday morning but did not release the employee\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>The anesthesiologist was contracted through North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA). Following the incident, the hospital took swift action, stating that her contract was terminated by mid-morning on September 11. The statement emphasized that she is no longer associated with Riverside Health.<\/p>\n<h3>Backlash in Other Industries<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to this incident, a barbecue restaurant in Cincinnati has also faced criticism due to comments made by one of its co-owners following Kirk&#8217;s death. Aaron Sharpe, who co-owns Lucius Q, reacted to a social media post expressing condolences for Kirk\u2019s family. His response included phrases like &#8220;Good riddance,&#8221; and &#8220;What a piece of s&#8212;.&#8221; While his original post has since been deleted, screenshots have circulated widely online.<\/p>\n<p>Following the backlash, several of Lucius Q\u2019s business partners and vendors decided to cut ties with the restaurant. The establishment later announced that it had parted ways with Sharpe.<\/p>\n<p>As public sentiment continues to respond to such incidents, the swift reactions from both the healthcare field and the restaurant industry reflect a heightened awareness of social media&#8217;s impact on professional reputations.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginia Healthcare Worker Fired Over Controversial Comments A healthcare worker in Virginia has lost her job after making inappropriate remarks regarding the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
