Cf. 82 AM.JUR.2D Wrongful Discharge § 15, at 688 (1992).[14] The present case involves only the first of these categories.[15] Ms. Carl contends, in substance, that by discharging her for testifying before the Council and for appearing as an expert witness for plaintiffs in medical malpractice cases, Children's Hospital has retaliated against her for exercising her right to free speech. Such retaliation, according to Ms. Carl, is contrary to the public interest because it chills the exercise of fundamental rights.
