One of Duplin General Hospital's major problems recently has been the low percentage of residents who use the local institution. Dr. Jeffrey Margolis of Goshen Medical Center in Faison recently asked to be (i placed on the inactive list of the hospital's medical staff. Margolis said he was begin ning to practice in Sampson Memorial Hospital at Clinton because of a lack of physi cians in the county to provide an exchange of time-off periods. His action occurred after a physician left the Plain View Health Services clinic at f| Greenevers. Dr. Kenneth Lee has begin practicing at the Plain View clinic but he and Dr. Mar golis are still referring patients to the Sampson hos pital. Harrell reported. CARPETS^ LHJ ?
