>This suddenly seems pretty trivial to me. I got a call an hour ago from my brother Kevin saying our mom had a heart attack this morning and was in the ER. I worked my way through the phone system at Maine Med and got to the ER and then a ward nurse on a different ward. She couldn't give me much information with HIPAA and privacy laws but I take it as encouraging that she was moved out of the ER. She said she would ask the attending doctor to call me. My mom has lived in Maine her whole life and is 79 years old with some health issues. You never know how serious they are because she is a true Mainer, never complaining unless maybe she has a gunshot wound. Fingers crossed....

Hope your mom gets well quickly.
