In the second half of her conversation with Dr. Mike Baumann, Chair of Emergency Medicine at Maine Medical Center, Elise Kiely dives into what it truly means to lead and practice emergency medicine in Maine.

Dr. Baumann shares how Life Flight of Maine operates in one of the most rural states in the country, what a typical day looks like for an ER physician, and how a recent health scare gave him new insight into patient care and personal balance.

This episode offers a powerful look at the human side of healthcare — from clinical coordination to compassion under pressure.

🎧 Highlights include:

  •  How emergency teams prepare for rural trauma care 
  •  What happens behind the scenes in an ER shift 
  •  Reflections on vulnerability, leadership, and showing up fully in both work and life 

Elegant Maine Living explores Maine’s homes, communities, and people—through the lens of lifestyle, values, and thoughtful living. I host conversations with leaders, creators, and advisors who help illuminate what it truly means to live well in Maine.
