My minor son was injured while on vacation. The arrogance at Central Maine Medical Center and Dr. Michael Reagan is unequalled. The lack of knowledge and ability to listen almost cost my son his leg. They held my son hostage for 9 days refusing to let him be transferred to another hospital. They provided virtually nothing for pain and infection, instead saying he was being difficult. We were verbally assaulted almost every day, my son for not going along with the plan and myself for questioning them and insisting they move him to a Boston Hospital. I was threatened to be arrested and removed by the police for speaking for my minor son. For going above their head and calling other hospitals and my insurance company. By the time I was able to have him transferred to a Boston Hospital His infection threatened amputation of his leg. To add to their incompetency they also missed a Major concussion and broken arm (keep in mind they had 9 days to find this he had all the classic signs) Because of their lack of care my son spent an additional 2 1/2 months bouncing between Mass General and Spaulding rehab. He was forced to endure 8 horrific additional surgeries (approx. 2 per week) which required reopening the leg and using a wound vac to attempt to remove the infection and debris left by CMMC. All while constantly fighting a major infection, an infection so bad he required a pic line with IV antibiotics for 9 months. (Even after his release he needed IV meds). Even now years after his release he is not all clear, he still will require more surgeries.
STAY AWAY You are better off with a Band-Aid and a witch DR.
