0505 - Summary/Objective
0506 -
050601 - Follow up ref SDS 4 0000, ref SDS 3 VR6R.
050602 -
050604 -  ..
050605 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Dave asking for advice on getting Millie
050606 - set up to cover expenses on 2nd opinion, and for any follow on costs
050607 - of treatment, based on research of HS 1383.15 on 041002. ref SDS 2
050608 - YM4F
050609 -
050610 -    1.  Millie has reached a situation where she needs a 2nd opinion on
050611 -        treatment options for inflammatory breast cancer (IBC),
050612 -        ref DIT 1 0001, as set out in her letter to UCSF, ref DIP 1
050613 -        0001, a few days ago on 041002. ref SDS 2 K138
050615 -         ..
050616 -    2.  She cites two (2) case studies, ref DIP 1 VX91, which give the
050617 -        impression that Kaiser has failed to perform and has been
050618 -        negligent by misdiagnosing her condition for over a year on a
050619 -        disease, which some authorities say has an 18 month survival.
050620 -        ref DIT 1 IR6H
050622 -         ..
050623 -    3.  There is evidence of overt cover up regarding the Tumor Board
050624 -        proceedings, ref DIT 1 QT7H, reported on 040614. ref SDS 1 4R59
050626 -         ..
050627 -    4.  Kaiser is refusing to pay for the 2nd opinion, which could run
050628 -        from $5K - $15K+, shown in the letter to UCSF on 041006,
050629 -        ref SDS 3 VR6R, and discussed with Richard earlier this
050630 -        morning, ref SDS 4 RH61. and if treatment needs to be done
050631 -        outside Kaiser, because they lack expertise or are in conflict,
050632 -        e.g., Oncology seems to be battling the Surgery Department,
050633 -        with Millie in the middle not getting treatment, then costs
050634 -        will greatly escalate, but should be paid by insurance, which
050635 -        is Kaiser. ref DIT 1 YT7L
050637 -         ..
050638 -    5.  I realize medical malpractice is outside your area, but
050639 -        possibly you could facilitate contact with someone in your firm
050640 -        who does this work, unless of course you represent Kaiser.  We
050641 -        need to get the ball rolling by making a formal demand on
050642 -        Kaiser for payment, then to have professional support going
050643 -        forward, so that medical decisions are separated from payment
050644 -        battles. ref DIT 1 CU8K
