Is one croaker keeping a well– buried secret in Atlanta? Search the records ofDr. Norman Ross HarbaughJr., 61, President and Managing Partner of Children’s Medical Group and you ’ll find plenitude of information about his work as a pediatrician and the numerous prestigious installations where he has been employed. What you wo n’t find is important regarding a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charge that happed in 2017 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, a suburban county of Atlanta. You also wo n’t find any record of the DUI being reported to the Georgia Composite Medical Board. Either the ultimate noway happed or the good croaker, also known as “ Chip,” is excellent at having his records dropped. On May 7 of that time, Harbaugh was caught driving over a spear or paved shoulder – a spear is the space between an interstate and an exit ramp – and wasn’t only charged with that particular moving violation but also with a DUI thanks to blood alcohol situations of further than.10 percent. He was arrested and paid further than$ to bond himself out. He was arraigned on May 30, 2018, in front of Quinnett County Judge Emily Brantley, one of 50 cases heard that day. At the time, Harbaugh was with Children’s Medical Group, where he has ago been promoted to chairman. The censure information is one of the only corridor of the paper trail that has not faded, indeed though it should precisely collude out the course and outgrowth for each defendant. One lucky pediatrician It seems as if Harbaugh got lucky, despite the serious nature of a DIU when the motorist is a medical professional assigned with guarding children’slives.However, according to Georgia law, he could have lost his license to exercise drug or had his capability to exercise significantly confined, If Harbaugh had been condemned. Hypothetically, if he’d entered his DUI charge previous to enrolling in medical academy at the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine in Augusta, GA, his operation for registration might have been rejected. DUI charges indeed raise medical board eyebrows?? Original Pediatrician with “ musketeers” in the right places, appears to be questionable; to say the least. Normal Board regulations bear any croaker arrested to tone– report within the needed time. From there the case the board should have conducted an disquisition, review of material word, and also arbitrated the case how they supposed fit. Whatever finding is “ recorded” and If memory serves, I believe the regulations also bear all inquiries to be intimately available for review. A pure conjecture is that intention was so people can read for themselves. We could read for ourselves the data that would show that a certified provider arrested was indeed veritably innocent after proper review by the board, and therefore precluding misinformation. But some curious and odd effects passed with the goodDr. Harbaugh when he was arrested for DUI. Any of the times ahead could have ended like on May 6, 2017, when lost control and careened over a spear with a blood alcohol position way over the legal limit. Surely a largely reputed, swell, and politically correct croaker would accept it and take the proper life choices and accept responsibility. Disappointment would be the result of that anticipation. Oddly the arrest is well proved, but a putatively well– proved felonious offense would be handled in due course. But now four times latterly, still nothing further is recorded. So for the piousDr. Harbaugh who by course of his work is known to have questionable harsh treatment of any other beneath him, that’s also arrested. But when he recklessly endangers everyone, he appears to get special treatment. But we just want to understand the verity, so we reached out toDr. Harbaugh for comment, to clarify everything, but have yet to have the call returned. So we’re left to wonder who someone who tone-promotes himself at “ One of Atlanta Top Pediatricians” and relatively fond of himself on the original news; manages to be arrested on two charges, both of which bear him to a) tone– report to the board and B) face equal fair trial as is anticipated for anyone indicted. But the trial or proper adjudication of the arrest. is kinda not voluntary, or if its voluntary when? And where is the form? The Georgia Composite Medical Board requires a report of the arrest and the outgrowth be made to the board within a short period of time. Then again more curious good luck chanced the good croaker. While no record ofDr. Harbaugh tone– reporting to the GA-Board can be plant, nor its final adjudication. We were suitable to confirm at least one other trusted source reporting it singly. So if we assume he tone– reported; that would be 2 missing board inquiries. Which seems amiss. We also reached out to the GA-Board, but they choose to decline all commentary. Despite the clear public threat to our safety and Health it presents, they choose to be silent, whileDr. Harbaugh arrest remains unaddressed by the GA-Board per their own searchable database. Should n’t we anticipate the bones we, as a society, grant the authority to regulate both the croakers as well as themselves as a board. Why should we admire and allow a loose tone– serving elite well connected many to fail to uphold the demand of FAIR AND EQUAL TREATMENT, not variable treatment grounded on who unwisely follows the laws and does n’t have political favs when accessible? The GA Board declines all commentary on similar matters, but public information should reflect the charge outgrowth and board action if any. Neither of these appears anywhere in Harbaugh’s board records. Sorely,Dr. Harbaugh had plenitude of company amongst croakers charged with a DUI that time. The California- grounded Center for Professional Recovery estimates that about croakers are arrested for DUI annually. DUI is one of the most common causes for board discipline, suggesting that unlike Harbaugh, utmost croakers follow protocol and train the needed report. Harbaugh designedly breaks protocol? It does feel doubtful that such a prominent pediatrician with so numerous influential musketeers would fail to duly follow the law, as he’s allegedly known to snappily denounce others for analogous offenses. Clearly, Harbaugh’s current and former business mates who now sit on the GA Board could have helped him with the proper protocol, including filing a report. Unfortunately, there’s no substantiation of any action taken by the board, indeed times latterly when members eventually learned of the DUI. Harbaugh still has his license to exercise. There were no impacts, indeed though a medical croaker “ devoted” to the health and lives of children so egregiously risked everyone on the roads that night. Studies suggest that at the time of a first DUI, numerous motorists have formerly driven under the influence numerous further times, but were n’t caught or didn’tcrash.However, could we anticipate no consequences as well, or is that outgrowth reserved only for the rich and wellconnected? One anonymous source says the shear insincerity of him intimately declaring his devotion to children’s health both before and after the DUI is delicate to understand, If any of the rest of us were arrested on DUI charges. Further to the croaker’s story Harbaugh has held multitudinous positions of power within the medical community, including serving as the former CEO of Kids Health First, an Atlanta- grounded Independent Practice Association that includes further than 200 pediatricians. Harbaugh is also on the board of directors of multiple boards including Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, The Children’s Care Network, and Kids Health First, Atlanta. We reached out to Harbaugh for a comment, but the croaker failed to respond to our request. Harbaugh is a member of the Georgia Chapter for the American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition to being combined with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, he also has boons at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta.
