111405 - Millie submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Sheridan notifying of plans to
111406 - deliver medical records to UCSF today, per Millie's letter on 041012,
111407 - ref SDS 23 664N, responding to Sheridan's letter earlier that same day
111408 - on 041012. ref SDS 23 NW55
111410 -  ..
111411 - Millie says to Sheridan...
111412 -
111413 -    1.  This morning Rod and I will deliver medical records received
111414 -        from Kaiser yesterday, as planned in my letter on Oct 12, shown
111415 -        below. ref DIT 1 0001
111417 -         ..
111418 -    2.  Apart from test films and slides, "Medical Records" are
111419 -        documents  stapled into a single stack, with test analysis in
111420 -        chronological order at the top, and then doctor notes on visits
111421 -        with the patient, which are generally in chronological order.
111422 -        Rod added tabs for test reports and doctor notes. ref DIT 1
111423 -        3J6G
111425 -         ..
111426 -    3.  Doctor notes are sparse and illegible, with minimal
111427 -        information, analysis and planning.  There is one typed report
111428 -        by the onc, which started the case on 020321, and there are two
111429 -        typed reports by the surgeon on results of surgery in March
111430 -        2002.  There is also a typed report by the doctor who
111431 -        supervised radiation in July 2002. ref DIT 1 EJ6M
111433 -         ..
111434 -    4.  If you have time, when we deliver the medical records later
111435 -        today, I would like to meet for a few moments to explain a
111436 -        procedure on expediting review by UCSF. ref DIT 1 HJ7J  Your
111437 -        letter on Wednesday, 041013, noted that links to the case
111438 -        studies, which are listed in my letter to UCSF on 041002,
111439 -        ref SDS 13 Y29R, have been forwarded to Doctor Benz.
111440 -        ref SDS 23 NW55
111441 -
111442 -            [...see below Sheridan and Doctor Benz are not in the
111443 -            office on Friday. ref SDS 0 NW58
111445 -         ..
111446 -        This morning, Rod showed that these studies are in turn linked
111447 -        to test reports relevant to issues being presented for a 2nd
111448 -        opinion, and so may save time and expense for everyone, as you
111449 -        discussed on Oct 12. ref SDS 23 4Q5T  My feeling is that
111450 -        manipulating online records is facilitated with a few minutes
111451 -        of orientation, that can then save hours and days grappling
111452 -        with a voluminous medical record. Again, if time permits, we
111453 -        can do this today, or wait for Monday, at your convenience.
