1612 - Summary/Objective
1613 -
161301 - Follow up ref SDS 17 0000 ref SDS 13 0000.
161302 -
161303 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Pam responding to the notice submitted
161304 - yesterday with a link to the meeting with Doctor Johnson that occurred
161305 - on 020321. ref SDS 14 0001
161306 -
161307 - Pam says today...
161308 -
161309 -     This record on mom's meeting with the doctor on 020321 would be
161310 -     good information to reference back to if someone had questions (in
161311 -     the future) about what occurred  during the process of my mom's
161312 -     treatment but all I really want to know is the bottom line (which
161313 -     we really don't know until we get the results of all the tests).
161314 -
161315 - Pam's perspective is shared by CEOs who prefer to focus on strategy
161316 - and the big picture, reported on 990625. ref SDS 9 0460
161317 -
161318 - Millie's niece, Carol Meyer, recommends keeping a "journal."
161319 - ref SDS 15 KK5K
161320 -
161321 - Kaiser's Healthwise Handbook calls for the patient to maintain a
161322 - record of the work and review with the doctor, reported on 990625.
161323 - ref SDS 8 0806
161324 -
161325 - Pam's analysis may overlook the power of the microcosm discussed with
161326 - Dave Vannier at Intel on 950927, ref SDS 2 5412, and later at Intel on
161327 - 960315, ref SDS 3 9924  Since communication is a predicate to action,
161328 - it influences ultimate results, as related in the record on 950718.
161329 - ref SDS 1 PN88  Accurate understanding and follow up on relevant
161330 - details are the driving force that impact the bottom line that Pam
161331 - discusses today.
161332 -
161333 - On 960507 advantage of being prepared for meetings by understanding
161334 - relevant details was reviewed. ref SDS 5 1114
161335 -
161336 - On 960519 reviewed concept of connecting perspective provided by a
161337 - summary in the "bottom line" that Pam cites today, with relevant
161338 - details showing connections of cause and effect that provide
161339 - intelligence essential for effective management. ref SDS 6 0001
161340 -
161341 - Gift of time linking summary to detail was reviewed on 980405.
161342 - ref SDS 7 2573
161343 -
161344 - Reliance on "testing" alone may not be adequate, since Millie relied
161345 - on mammary tests and these failed, reported on 020311. ref SDS 11 PZ50
161346 -
161347 - Tests require review by experts.  Some of the questions that arise
161348 - from the record on 020321 concern interpretation of tests already
161349 - performed, for example....
161350 -
161351 -      4/4 LN in relation to 3 lymph nodes active.... ref SDS 14 JE8H
161352 -      Pathlogic classification...................... ref SDS 14 FS6F
161353 -      N1 bad when T1 is good, why???................ ref SDS 14 OJ9F
161354 -      Her2/neu * - Negative - Good.................. ref SDS 14 YF5M
161355 -      No evidence of angiolymphatic -- Good/Bad?.... ref SDS 14 6U4O
161356 -
161357 -
161358 -
161359 -  ..
161360 - Sent ref DIT 1 0001 to Pam saying....
161361 -
161362 -     Responding to your letter this morning, sorry for so much detail
161363 -     on your mom's meeting 020321 about diagnosis, prognosis and
161364 -     treatment. ref SDS 14 0001  You mentioned a bottom line perspective
161365 -     earlier. My sense is that Doctor Johnson shares your approach to
161366 -     expedite communication to get things done, based on discussions
161367 -     with the doctor's assistant, Michelle, on 020402, ref SDS 16 KG4H,
161368 -     and, as you say, the tests may be conclusive.
