Lara Kollab, a 27 year-old former intern at the Cleveland Clinic, has come under fire after her anti-Semitic comments on social media came to light.
She stopped working at the clinic in September, but the Cleveland Clinic condemned her comments.
Amber Cole reports at 19 News in Cleveland:

Kollab’s comments were truly vile. It’s amazing that this came from a doctor.
