[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have family with a place in Maine that they offered to us for a month this summer but after reading about the hospital capacity on Mt Desert island we are leaning against going.[/quote]

I have a friend who retired to MDI, but had to leave when his spouse became ill, because of the hospital situation (or lack thereof).  They moved to a small town on the Gulf Coast, if that tells you how bad the situation in Maine was.  I love MDI, but I once injured my knee there, and there was one orthopedist on the island, and they told me he was completely booked and couldn't see me.  I went to the "Emergency Room" (such as it was) and they took me to his office and he was kind enough to see me after hours.  Turns out he lived in Alexandria and was there part-time for the summer.  Nice guy, and patched me well enough to survive until I got home, but I definitely wouldn't want to be there for a serious medical emergency.  [/quote]

This is my parents' complaint in Maine. Also, looking at a second Gulf Coast location for lots of reasons. [/quote]
