I came to Central Maine Medical Center in 2002 as Director of Cardiology to help start Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute. At the time, there was substantial controversy over the new cardiac program in Lewiston. Some local doctors and politicians said we would fail and worked hard to make that prediction come true. Fortunately […]

Yes, there is media bias
This is in response to Ellen Field’s letter (Aug. 8). In her letter, she would have people believe that the media is truthful and unbiased with regard to President Donald Trump. To clearly see the bias she need only open the same paper to see the hatred aimed at Trump and conservatives. For example, pages […]

Sen. King represents Maine
Politics has taken an unpleasant turn. It has become “them” or “us.” If this were a marriage, there would be a divorce. No union can work without discussion and compromise. November offers voters a chance to keep those in office who work for Maine. Alternatively, it is a chance to replace those who do not […]

Brakey can fix the problem
Have a debt problem? Call Sen. Eric Brakey. America is in financial trouble, and America needs someone who will fix the problem. Brakey is that person. With the debt clock ticking away, it seems like no one is watching it. America is $20 trillion in the hole, but lawmakers in Washington, D.C., keeps spending more […]

Bring back the caring
I, plus my two brothers and their spouses, live in Sebago. Bridgton is our hospital. Our commute time to Bridgton is roughly a third (20 minutes) of the time it would take to go to Lewiston (60 to 80 minutes.) More important is the excellence of the staff; their genuine caring for our well-being; and […]

I am mad as hell
I am weary thinking about the demise of American democracy. Voting President Trump and his Republican cronies out of office is a necessary first step to correct the problem. The system is rigged, and the corruption is endemic. The swamp got murkier because Trump appointees know that there will be no opposition or ramifications to […]

A hole in my heart
Central Maine Healthcare president and CEO Jeff Brickman is allowing Bridgton/Rumford Hospitals to die on the vine. Why? I was lucky to have been employed, placed in the heart of that group. I saw the beat, the best team put in a caring environment; medical staff, nursing staff, every staff member worked as one providing […]

Respect the president and the press
On Nov. 8, 2016, Americans elected Donald Trump as president. Anyone who disagrees should be called out. He was elected to represent all 330 million Americans and their interests at home and abroad, not just one party or group. Unfortunately, those who disagree with his policies are seen as anti-Trump, moon bats (whatever that is), […]

Ned Claxton is a keeper
I am so glad that Ned Claxton is running to represent New Gloucester (and the rest of District 20) in the Maine Legislature because, boy, does Maine need people like him. Claxton was one of the founding physicians of the noted Family Health Associates practice in Auburn, where my family has gone for decades. He […]

End Trump's dictatorship
I wish I had the power to end President Donald Trump’s dictatorship. But, speaking of dictatorships and rigged elections, Trump and his buddy, Vladimir Putin, are clones. They vowed to fight against terrorism, but there is evidence that Putin was connected to adversaries being physically killed while Trump does it politically. How many times has […]
