With all this condescension and snark, guarantee I have no interest in going there. Ever.

I took the survey. I was confused by the question on how much extra I’d pay. I’d recommend changing the question to a percentage more because vegetables don’t really come in standard “item” quantities. Paying a $1.00 more for a 10lb bag of potatoes isn’t as big a deal as paying a $1.00 more for a yellow onion, for example.

Even with the best precautions, fires can still occur. I don’t think it’s fair to assume negligence on the part of the family who has lost their home and beloved dog.

Maine Med routinely gets kids from eastern New Hampshire (North Conway, Rochester, and Dover catchment areas)

As someone who works in the pediatric care system in Maine, I can tell you that only a small portion of sick kids in Maine need to be transferred to Boston. The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital in Portland has a PICU, congenital open heart surgery program, a NICU kidney transplant service, and a comprehensive children’s cancer program. There is a relatively short list of conditions for which transfer to Boston or other centers is needed, including bone cancers, stem cell transplants, or liver or lung transplants.

When our well was drilled they fracked at 300 feet and we have had years of great water. Would think the pros would recommend fracking at this point. Hope it works out for you!
