No offense to medical professionals on this site who may live in Maine, but medical care in Maine is very sub-standard. I'm not sure Boston or NYC can really handle Ebola. Maine?? Frickin' Maine???? If this is Ebola, they will not contain it effectively, and many healthcare workers will get sick.

No brag, just fact.

True. But we can hide in woods and wait for -20 degrees F.

The Maine Medical Center is actually a pretty good hospital:

Maine MC is excellent.

Our daughter had heart surgery at Maine Medical Center’s Barbara Bush Children’s Unit. It is a top notch facility with an excellent pediatric cardiology dept. As a critical care nurse, I transported many adult patients to MMC from more rural hospitals. Their cardiac critical care units were top notch too.
The more rural hospitals not so much. Nursing care is generally very good. Nothing keeps nurses honest and kind like knowing they’ll see you or your family members in the grocery store. Medical care can be not so good though as we tend to get lots of Muslims and Hindus who are of varying degrees of compassion and expertise. Hygiene, too.

Maine has some of the best hospitals in New England, and New England has some of the best in the US. No offense.

The insurance is lousy, but the hospitals are top notch.
