Geocache Description:

This is a relative easy cache on level ground, parking close by, with short and simple minor bushwhacking. Winter friendly. Parking is at a premium for emergency patients, so don't linger too long.

Sal had been healthy most of her adult life so when she started experiencing difficulty breathing it was completely unexpected and panic set in, not only for her but her friends and family as well. Sure, as she grew older she had been showing signs of arthritis every now and then but sitting in front of a warm fire usually made those aches and pains go away. But this was a more serious matter and required medical attention in a hurry. Like many Mainers, Sal questioned ….should I tough this one out or seek a doctor’s help? This was an emergency, better see the doctor. In fact, it may require a specialist doctor.

But it was the weekend….what are Sal’s chances of getting in to see the doctor on a weekend? With symptoms getting worse (severe asthma? cat dander allergies again?) the decision was made for her friend to bring her to the closest facility where emergency treatment could be rendered. Of course, I would have preferred that an ambulance had been called, but you know Mainers! Luckily, on nights and weekends there is an emergency center available for severe medical cases like this. The doctors there knew what to do and all is well today.

As a long-time paramedic, I want to dedicate this cache to all of the emergency centers across the country.
