Where have the doctors gone? We need more of ‘em than ever
By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. | Where have all the Doctors gone?
As Americans grow older — including healthcare providers — there will be fewer doctors and more patients. If we don’t take immediate action to address the shortage of medical practitioners, the situation is bound to get worse over time.
The past 18 months has shed light on the burnout doctors, nurses, and others in the medical community tend to face. These individuals have risked their lives to save the lives of others, working long hours in some of the most challenging situations throughout the pandemic. And these same physicians, 96 percent of whom have been vaccinated, are the experts who are the most listened to and believed by the anti-vaxxers.
This toll hit home for me last weekend. While with my son, an Emory-trained Internal Medicine MD, he received a call from a colleague sharing the news that a 60-year-old fully vaccinated MD in their practice had just come down with Covid-19. This situation shook my son, as well it should.
Burnout and related factors have led to a shortage of doctors in hospitals and clinics across the country. Because of pandemic-related concerns and exhaustion, many doctors may look to further cut back their hours. Plus, the sale of physician practices to hospitals and corporations has made many doctors feel like they have lost any control over their practices, a frustrating and demoralizing situation.
The pandemic didn’t cause a doctor shortage, it only exacerbated an existing problem. In 2018 Georgia had a physician burnout rate of 40 percent—an alarming figure and yet one of the lowest rates in the country. Furthermore, Georgia ranks eighth in the country when it comes to the number of health professional shortage areas (HPSAs), with 234. That leaves many Georgians vulnerable when it comes to healthcare accessibility.
New research shows this shortage is likely to get worse. A recent report by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projects that by 2034, there will be a national shortage of as many as 48,000 primary care physicians, and a shortage of nearly 80,000 physicians.
Only through a detailed national effort can we overcome the problems before a deficit of medical professionals puts lives at risk.
Specifically, our efforts should include expanding the number of primary care residencies available, increasing efforts to bring in well qualified foreign medical graduates from other nations, increasing training/use of physician assistants, nurse practitioners and other “physician extenders,” improving reimbursement for primary care practitioners, extending telemedicine, and providing financial incentives to practice in underserved areas.
Luckily, Congress has the ability to bolster the number of medical professionals in several ways and in doing so, can ensure that all Georgians are able to find a doctor when they need one.
Congress is considering the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act, which would bring another 3,500 new doctors per year into the medical community.
Plus, President Biden’s American Jobs Plan includes money to support increasing the number of medical professionals through more GME and other incentives.
These initiatives along with increased support via the state would be immensely helpful for every Georgian and every American. But the time to act is now.

2 Gwinnett mayors inducted in Ga. Municipal Hall of Fame
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
AUG. 24, 2021 | Two Gwinnettians achieved additional distinction recently, when the Georgia Municipal Association named them to its Hall of Fame.
We’re speaking of Sugar Hill Mayor Steve Edwards, and Suwanee Mayor Jimmy Burnette, who were inducted at a recent GMA meeting in Savannah. This is a singular honor, since those in the Hall of Fame have either been president of GMA or have made “have made extraordinary contributions to municipal government.”
Edwards has been on the City Council since 2004, and became mayor in 2015. He has lived in Sugar Hill for over 20 years. Burnette has been on the Suwanee council since 1996, and mayor since 2011. He was born and raised in Suwanee, and his father served as a City Councilmember for 32 years, from 1963-95.
Edwards
Burnette
Other members of the GMA Hall of Fame from Gwinnett include the late Lillian Webb of Norcross (1982), Philip Beard of Buford (2007) and Linda Blechinger, Auburn, 2019.
Efficient government: we were thinking about this the other day: the county is indebted to Lillian Webb, former Norcross mayor, and for eight years chairman of the county commission, for starting something new in local government. She initiated a “consent agenda” at city and county meetings. This means that items before the government that are routine, procedural, informational and self-explanatory non-controversial, do not have to each be voted on individually, which in the days before consent agendas, took forever. Some commission meetings would last all day. With a consent agenda, all these items are voted on in one motion, a far-better method of holding such a meeting.
Georgia’s Seventh Congressional District, composed mostly of Gwinnett, plus portions of Forsyth County, was the fastest growing Congressional District in Georgia between 2010 and 2020. This district now has 844,773 people. The second fastest was District 13 (west of Atlanta including Cobb County) with 802,943 residents.
Georgia’s 2020 Census population is now 10,725,274, a 10.26 percent growth, or nearly a million more people in Georgia than in 2010, in raw numbers, 997,708 more. That means the state’s Congressional district should have a population after redistricting of 766,091 people.
That also means that the Seventh District could easily fit within the 957,062 people now in Gwinnett. So the question that faces redistricting officials: what shall we do? Do we allow one complete district to be in Gwinnett, and probably Democratic; or should we find a way to split Gwinnett among one or several districts to insure more Republicans in Congress?
At one time, this corner wanted Gwinnett to have its own district wholly within the county. But when there are more than one person representing the county, that in one way of thinking would give the people in Gwinnett more than one ear to try to influence the Congress!
So which states picked up Congressional seats? Montana, Oregon, Colorado, North Carolina, and Florida all picked up one seat, while Texas picked up two. Losing a seat were Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, California, and West Virginia.
That cap means that the size of the average Congressional district is now 711,000 people, a number that favors smaller, more rural, whiter states in the House of Representatives. It also favors those smaller, rural states in the Electoral College.

Feels Biden let us down on the withdrawal from Afghanistan
By Debra Houston, contributing columnist
“Before embarking on any move, take the measure of your mark … Otherwise, you will waste time and make mistakes.” — Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power.
LILBURN, Ga. | When a president conducts a sloppy retreat from a 20-year war without taking the measure of the Taliban, or the consequences thereof, wasting time is the least of his troubles. Left behind were 15,000 American troops, countless Afghan warriors and facilitators, and a sense of distrust.
If you abuse power, people will mistrust you. That’s where we are today on a national and international level. In fact, Western Europe seems gobsmacked by Biden’s careless mishandling of Kabul. Tell the truth, Mr. Biden. Did you really think this through?
Careful, unless you want to join the ranks of Lyndon Johnson who knew he had no chance of reelection after escalating the war in Vietnam when Americans wanted to leave with honor. Americans wanted the same in Afghanistan — to leave with honor and bring home our troops.
Indeed, Vietnam is the proper comparison to our exodus from Afghanistan. In Vietnam, those who trusted the United States to win and take care of them clung to American planes and helicopters to escape the bloodthirsty North Vietnamese troops. Likewise, Afghans who fought beside us are clamoring toward our planes in a desperate attempt to avoid facing the bloodthirsty Taliban. Does anyone study history anymore?
There’s an emotional coldness to this White House that is breathtaking in its scope. President Biden left Camp David, where he was vacationing, for Washington D.C., to answer questions about the withdrawal. He stood by his decision, he said, and then returned to Camp David to finish his vacation. Meanwhile, I’m pacing the floor trying to figure out if my nephew is still in Afghanistan.
The disorderly exit from that country has made the entire region fragile. The Democratic Party is all about emotion and symbolism, but Mr. Biden was defensive and arrogant whenever a reporter asked a thoughtful question about the debacle. To him, it seemed beneath him to explain himself to anyone.
I think he knows he can’t clean this up, but I don’t think he cares one way or another. His “over the horizon” speech of August 20 offered a glimmer of hope, but fact checkers reported “discrepancies.”
“The buck stops here,” sounded more like a cliche than accepting responsibility. He maintained that he saw the problems coming, a contradiction from two days before when he said he saw no problem. It can’t be both ways, sir.
Former First Lady Laura Bush worked on behalf of Afghan women to advance their lives, and I’m sure that explains why President Bush spoke out against Biden’s withdrawal plan. Our exit will prevent those women from owning a business, gaining an education, or holding office.
Come on, Democrats, don’t obfuscate the issue, acting as if we’re upset because we left Afghanistan. That’s wrong, and you know it. We’re concerned about HOW you left the country. There are too many worried American families — Democrats and Republicans — to play politics on this subject. Our mission in Afghanistan may have been over, but you, Democrats, the way you left it left us in shame.
There’s no greater love than to sacrifice your life for a friend. We won’t forget those troops who have given their lives, their limbs, and their peace of mind so we can be safe. Now we must return the favor and demand the protected return of our men and women in uniform — every single one.

Appreciates President Biden getting troops out of Afghan war
Editor, the Forum:
In the recent election, I did not vote for President Biden, but appreciate his decision to complete the Afghanistan withdrawal. He has been getting hammered from all sides on his execution as well as failing to give sufficient notice to allow U.S. and in-country contractors time to make arrangements.
When campaigning, Barack Obama promised to pull out by the end of his first term. However, he could not get through the generals and special interests. He tried again in his second term but then just gave up. Still, notice was given. Donald Trump actually did make headway shoving the generals to the side and negotiating an agreement, which is what Biden actually used to complete the job.
There is no good way to recover from a really bad choice without backlash and costs. The American people are overwhelmingly behind withdrawal and turning back now would just prolong the agony of all who suffer. It’s time to come home.
— Joe Briggs, Suwanee
Dear Joe: We sometimes differ, but we are in complete agreement on this. While any withdrawal is sloppy, we agree we want our boys home and to get us out of this far-off mess.–eeb
Giving directly to local police gets 100 percent results!
Editor, the Forum:
It’s always enjoyable to read Raleigh Perry’s articles, and I heed much of his advice. Many of you probably get those phone calls from “charitable” companies asking for direct donations or for you to help collect money in your area for a “worthwhile” cause and send the booty back to the solicitation company.
When I get calls to collect money for the police or military, I take note, then after they read their script about how important the cause is, they want to know if they can depend on my support. I then always ask, what percent of my donation will actually reach the police or military. They will usually tell you to refer to their website, and ask for your support again.
I then ask to talk to another person who is better trained and would know the answer to my question. Almost, in every case they will relent and tell me that 12 percent of my donation will actually reach the intended recipients after the solicitors take their share off the top. I usually respond by saying that their claim of doing a worthwhile collection rings hollow since I can donate directly to my local police and they get 100 percent of the proceeds. Usually the caller then hangs up immediately.
— George Graf, Palmyra Va.

French-American Chamber moving office to Peachtree Corners
The French-American Chamber of Commerce-Atlanta (FACC) is moving operations from the Consulate General of France in downtown Atlanta to office space within Peachtree Corners at the Innovation Center at Curiosity Lab. In relation, La French Tech – a French government-supported ecosystem of startups, investors, decision-makers and community builders – will expand collaboration with and leverage Peachtree Corners as they guide companies looking to develop technologies and expand into North America.
Sebastien Lafon, president of French Tech Atlanta and board member of the FACC and French Trade AdvisEr, says: “French Tech Atlanta and FACC are delighted to join the Curiosity Lab and the overall Peachtree Corners smart city ecosystem. This will enable French startups to collaborate with many innovators and prove out their technology in a unique and live environment, with real city-owned connected infrastructure that cannot be replicated in a laboratory. Overall, La French Tech Atlanta will be another pillar to support existing and blossoming Francophile startups, promote French Tech across the Southeast by broadening cross-Atlantic relationships and help future French startups to grow their business in the United States in the heart of Silicon Orchard.”
The La French Tech accreditation reflects a larger collaboration between French Foreign Trade Advisors, the Service for Science and Technology of the French Embassy, the Consulate General of France in Atlanta, Attaché for Cultural Services and FACC-Atlanta, to reinforce the region as the premier North American destination for French companies to do business.
Key county governmental buildings getting major renovation
A major facelift is in the works for the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center and One Justice Square buildings in Lawrenceville. The Board of Commissioners recently approved a renovation overhaul which is to cost $34 million. Of the seven proposals submitted last month, Gilbane Building Company of Atlanta was awarded the contract.
The Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center opened in 1988 and hasn’t seen a major update since then. Glenn Stephens, county administrator, says that this multiphase project is important not only to maintain a healthy infrastructure for the future of GJAC, but also to provide adequate spacing needs and a more modern workspace for our employees to safely thrive and serve our communities.
The first phase of the renovation tackled the third and fourth floors of One Justice Square and is complete and two departments have moved into the updated spaces. Subsequent phases will focus on renovations to both GJAC and the remaining floors of One Justice Square. The overarching scope of the project entails renovation of the interior spaces and updating interior finishes.
GJAC was built on 61 acres, costing $72 million. Funds for its construction were raised by Gwinnett’s first penny sales tax, known as SPLOST.

Veterans Resource Center gets recent contributions from local firms
The Gwinnett Veterans Resource Center (GVRC), a program of the Gwinnett Coalition, is continuing its mission to support veterans and their families by providing information, referrals, and resources with a renewed passion and a call to engage more community partners in support of local heroes.
Since its founding in 2014, the GVRC has worked to care for veterans and their families in times of crisis, helping them maximize the benefits available to them, connecting them to vital community resources, and offering peer-to-peer support. After years of operating with limited funding and an all-volunteer staff, the Gwinnett Coalition has begun to cast a new vision to elevate the work and impact of the GVRC.
Securing additional funding is crucial to the GVRC’s new plan. Many individuals and organizations have contributed monetary and in-kind donations through the years, but additional public and private funding will be necessary to grow the breadth and depth of services offered to veterans. The Coalition recently received grants from the Scott Hudgens Family Foundation, the Primerica Foundation, and the Gwinnett Stripers Foundation to support their continuing efforts.

I Alone Can Fix It by Carol Leonnig and Phillip Rucker
From Raleigh Perry, Buford: Ms. Leonnig is an investigative reporter for the Washington Post and contributor for NBC and MSNBC. Rucker is the Senior Washington Correspondent at the Washington Post and also a contributor for NBC and MSNBC. Both are Pulitzer Prize winners. This book is basically a day-by-day account of President Trump from January 1, 2020 until January 20, 2021 and further. The title comes from a frequent statement made by the president when he was first running for office. The problem is that during his administration, he fixed nothing. Throughout 2020, until November 3, which was the period during which COVID-19 was raging, his major emphasis should have been no on the virus but it was more focused on getting re-elected. However, he accelerated the development of the vaccines. November 3 was a shock to Trump and things changed considerably, even to a Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.”

Midway was early center of activity on Georgia coast
Midway, located in Liberty County on U.S. Highway 17 between Savannah and Darien, has a long and distinguished history. The community was founded by English Puritans, who migrated to St. John’s Parish, Georgia, from Dorchester, S.C. in 1752, and established two settlements: a new Dorchester and another nearby settlement, which became the much more prominent Midway community.
The Midway colonists received sizeable land grants in St. John’s Parish primarily because the colonial officials wanted a large number of settlers there to protect them from the Creek Indians. These first settlers were soon joined by families from England, Scotland, and South Carolina, and in 1754 they founded the Midway Society, a Congregationalist group in which Christianity and daily living were closely interrelated. The first permanent meetinghouse was erected in 1756, and the first service was held in 1758.
The Midway settlers developed a strong, agriculturally based economy. Their wealth came from the cultivation of rice, indigo, and other crops.
These settlers held strong political opinions and took an early stand for independence. In May 1775 a St. John’s Parish resident, Lyman Hall, was sent as a delegate to the Continental Congress. A year later Hall and another St. John’s Parish man, Button Gwinnett, along with George Walton of Augusta, signed the Declaration of Independence. In 1777, as a result of this strong support for independence, St. John’s Parish combined with St. Andrew’s and St. James’s parishes to become Liberty County.
Historic landmarks include the Midway Congregational Church and Cemetery. The early Midway church building was destroyed during the Revolutionary War (1775-83). The present church building was completed in 1792 and has not been modernized. The Midway Museum is Georgia’s only colonial museum. The Midway Society conducts an annual service every April commemorating the town’s settlement. According to the 2020 census figures, the population of Midway was 2,167.

This is not your everyday Mystery Photo for you to solve
This is not your everyday Mystery Photo. But can you figure where this photograph was made, and who produced these jugs? Give us your thoughts and send your answer to elliott@brack.net, including your hometown.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. gave us good detail of the recent Mystery Photo, sent in by George Graf of Palmyra, Va. Peel told it it was “the New Market Battlefield Military Museum, located in New Market, Va., on a site known as Manor’s Hill, a farm just northwest of town. Because of its elevation, Manor’s Hill played a pivotal role in the Battle of New Market on May 15, 1864 as it offered the Union Army a key defensive line during the opening portion of the New Market Battle.
“The majority of the collection in this museum consists of items from the American Civil War. However, there are some original items from the French and Indian War, War with Mexico, World War II, and everything in between. Many visitors may inadvertently stop at this museum, falsely believing that it is part of the Virginia Museum of the Civil War located less than a half mile further north along Collins Parkway. In fact, the museum is privately owned and was built by John M. Bracken, who acquired Manor’s Hill in 1987 to preserve the property for historical purposes. Bracken opened the New Market Battlefield Military Museum one year later in 1988.
“According to the museum’s own web site here, the overall design of the building depicted in the mystery photo was inspired by the Arlington House, formally the Custis-Lee Mansion in Arlington, Va.”
Also recognizing it were Rob Ponder of Duluth and Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
