I don’t pretend to know the inner details of the affair, but it is possible that a good many residents share my feeling that the AFHS was an in novative and valuable addition to health care delivery, and its closing has been a loss to the area. In contrast, judging from the vitriolic communications addressed to The Chowan Herald during the formative stages of the new clinic, through which local doctors and druggists attempted to discredit the {dan, these individuals must feel a distinct sense of relief at the closing. An economic threat has been removed. The introduction by the AFHS of a small group of physicians, including board certified specialists, was a boon to area residents. Two have remanined here in private practice, and this softens the blow of losing the AFHS clinic, which served as an excellent alternative to the interminable waiting periods in deplorable conditions at Chowan Medical Centra - . Chowan Hospital was the unwitting winner while the AFHS operated. The new clinic, with headquartes convenient to Chowan and Perquimans counties, and with satellite clinics in more distant counties, helped to create a high hospital census. This greatly strengthened the position of Chowan Hospital vis-a-vis Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City. It has been conjectured that, prior to the AFHS, the Elizabeth City medical-hospital community had been ex pecting an ever increasing influx of Chowan and Perquimans patients, perhaps to a point where Chowan Hospital might hausbeen closed hecai— of . decreasing utilization. Instead, the increase m patient load brought about by AFHS was instrumental in hearing Chowan Hospital to win approval of an in crease in bed capacity, enlarged ancillary facilities, and may have been in fluential in establishing full time employment of emergency room physicians. Now, however, all this has changed, and it is quite possible that enlarged facilities at Chowan Hospital are no longer justified. And with hospital personnel already stretched thin, one wonders how additional patients would be handled if they were there. In another direction, I think we have witnessed a typical twisting of priorities by government officials in prosecuting relatively small game while the big game runs wild. But Dr. Lucas’ sentence wasn’t small. The same court system that issues little more than a slap CHICKEN MANURE For Sale—Bag or bulk. Will consider delivery. Call Emmett Winborne - 221- 4204.

This is not to condone Dr. Lucas’ in fraction, although one is led to wonder, since there is nothing new under the sun, where and by whom the example was set. Dr. Lucas, however, was a natural target, because he had stepped outside the medical clubhouse so carefully guarded by the mighty American Medical Association, the rich and powerful political action organization which has sometimes been called the doctors’ labor unioa Those who have lived in cities will perhaps recall that it was the AMA which, in its zeal to protect its members from competition and in utter disregard of the public need for health care. limited the .output of medical school* so severely and for so long that hospitals throughout the U.S. had to resort to foreign doctors - many with severe language barriers and some not even licensed to practice - to fill their staff assignments.
