Many thanks to the doctors, nurses, technicians and supreme professionals at Portland’s Maine Medical Center. They are the best.

When our hearts go on the “blink,” it’s wonderful to know that these health care professionals are there to catch us, especially when we are caught unaware in our daily routine.

Talking mainly about the cardiac ninth floor, which is a well-run unit around the clock. The kindness and extra mile these women and men work through is unbeatable by any marathon. And the entire hospital, working together as an institution, is a marvelous paragon beyond description.

Thanks to everyone at Maine Medical Center for bringing me back.
