I had the privilege of working with Dr. Charles Rosen for over 15 years. He served as my
attending physician and chairman of the WVU Department of Neurosurgery in Morgantown, WV
during that time.
To say that I learned a lot from Dr. Rosen would be an understatement! He is one of the few surgeons that I have worked with who truly is passionate about his profession. He expressed his love for the neurosciences to his colleagues, residents, and visiting students.
He enjoyed introducing rotating medical students to the exciting world of neurosurgery. He welcomed questions and encouraged students to observe his surgeries in the operating room. He valued and respected my opinion. He provided a strong unwavering leadership and was committed to helping his staff grow as individuals and as a department.
His confidence and ability to stay level-headed in the face of adversity make him not only a strong leader, but a respectable human being as well. Any neurosurgical program would be lucky to have him as a part of their team.

The name of it was a hemangiopericytoma, and it was in the frontal lobe, the front part of my brain cavity, and it had grown to the size of a grapefruit. It was impacting my self-awareness, and so I was behaving in very different ways. And of course my...
