Dr. Manazer was fired from the health system in May after serving as an anonymous source for an NBC4 report accusing the Adena Regional Medical Center of allowing a surgeon to perform TAVR cardiac procedures before receiving necessary credentials. Other sources also backed up the misconduct claims.
