A new director is about to start work at Carolinas Medical Center’s ALS center, even as longtime patients continue to complain about the abrupt firing of the center’s founding director.
Dr. Jeffrey Rosenfeld, fired last May, remains in Charlotte, searching for a job. Six months ago, he took the unusual step of suing his former employer, claiming breach of contract and defamation of character. Carolinas Medical Center has denied the allegations.
Dr. Benjamin Brooks, a renowned ALS researcher from the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, will begin work later this month.
