Shame on the City of Bangor and the city council for pulling the rug out from under Northeast Pain Management. I think that was a dirty deal and one that could have potential catastrophic results for a medical practice.
It was reported that Penobscot Community Health Care was in dire financial straits and needed money very soon to stay afloat. That money would have been in their hands by the end of August if all had gone as planned.
Northeast Pain Management has taken on an incredible load over the last two years as pain clinics closed in the area, and are practicing in a very limited space. Because of the space crunch, the backlog of patients grew as did the waiting time for patients to be seen.
This could have all been resolved if things had gone as planned and the city council kept their hands to themselves so to speak. My hope is that Dr. Eric Wise can move ahead and find a space suitable for his needs in an area outside of Bangor.
