Hi my husband has this pectus excavatum, and its bothering him since he's having chest pain. Do you have any suggestion which hospital here in Maine are the best in this kind of situation?
Hi, I haven’t used this account in years, but I saw this come into my email and felt like I needed to answer. I’m sorry to hear that your husband is going through this. Honestly, my experience in Maine with PE was very poor. My surgery ended up failing, and I still live with chronic chest pain. Most places in Maine don’t have the expertise to help with PE. I had my surgery in Portland, and after multiple complications, the surgery failed, and the surgeon stop returning phone calls. I would be happy to talk with you and your husband about my experience and what the whole process of getting PE treatment looks like (It gets complicated with insurance!) I don’t really want to post my contact info, but if you shoot me a message that I can respond to privately, I’d be happy to give you my email. I know having an informal talk with someone else who had been through the process really helped me to feel like I knew what was going on.
