County Medi Said Now Or One vear after itc Hivicion fmm (Ko New Hanover County Medical Society, the Brunswick County Medical Society is "off and running" now, according to its president. Dr. Irvin Cavedo. Cavedo, staff radiologist at the Brunswick Hospital in Supply, said the one-year-old society promotes collegial fellowship, provides continuing education, promotes public health and handles grievances from patients. All medical societies in the state are mandated, Cavedo said, to have a grievance committee that serves as a forum for complaints about perceiv ea mistreatment by pnysieians. The group has heard two such complaints so far. "I don't know what other projects we'll get going," he said. "We'll probably organize an auxiliary." The countywide organization, which includes physicians with staff privileges at Dos'ner Hospital in Southport and Brunswick Hospital in Supply, started as an outgrowth of the New Hanover-Brunswick-Pender County Medical Society. When the tri-county organization doubled its annual dues in January 1984, several local physician-members began talking about forming a county society.

After an informal poll, a petition was circulated among Brunswick County members of the North Carolina Medical Society, he said. With more than the two-thirds affirmation needed, the Brunswick County Medical Society was granted its charter in May 1984. "We were a little slow in getting going," Cavedo added. But the physicians are meeting now about every other month at the president's call. Its third meeting of the year will be held Wednesday, May 1, at 6:30 p.m. at Port Charlie's Restaurant in Southport. Dr. Robert Fales of Wilmington, author and historian, will be the guest speaker.
