Former Peachtree

City mayors Fred Brown Jr. and Howard Morgan were both patients in the

intensive care unit at Fayette Community Hospital at the same time recently.

Both are happy

to report they're back at home and doing fine. And both said they were

treated very well by hospital staff during their stay.

Brown told

The Citizen that he was in intensive care for a suspected heart attack,

although doctors finally determined that his chest pains were from a hiatal

hernia. He stayed in the ICU overnight and was sent to a private room

later after taking a stress test to make sure he was okay. He was released

the next evening.

"I feel

great," Brown said from his home Monday afternoon.

Morgan said

he was sent to the hospital following a routine exam since his doctor

suspected his blood thinning medication wasn't working. He underwent emergency

surgery so doctors could implant a screen to block blood clots from traveling

to his heart.

Morgan marveled

at all the technology that was used to monitor him, especially a device

that allowed doctors to see inside his kidney. "It was the most intensive

medical care I've had," he said.

Morgan spent

only two days in intensive care, but he spent a total of six days in the

hospital.

"I'm feeling

pretty good," Morgan said from his home Monday afternoon.

Morgan said

it was "peculiar" that both he and Brown were hospitalized at

the same time. Brown agreed that the timing was odd.

Brown served

as mayor from 1982 to 1992. Morgan preceded him, serving as mayor from

1972 to 1978.
