Unlike perhaps any other person or organization in the large Augusta medical community, the Medical Examiner is everywhere. We visit more than 500 doctors offices at least twice a month, along with deliveries to 14 area hospitals. We see things. We have suggestions:
• Once the sun goes down, Harper Street in front of the Children’s Medical Center is darker than a country road in the middle of nowhere. Ditto for the circular drive in front of the hospital. It’s downright spooky. This time of year it’s dark by suppertime, well before peak evening visiting hours. Somehow a children’s hospital should not be a dark and forbidding place – to say nothing of the public safety issues.
