131103 - Millie submitted ref DIT 1 0001 a letter to Sheidan Tinker at UCSF
131104 - transmitting the record of the meeting with Doctor Benz, and thanking
131105 - Sheridan for her help.  The letter also asks that Doctor Benz to
131106 - submit his comments to Millie for distribution rather than to Kaiser.
131107 - The record indicates more needs to be done on holding down costs of
131108 - copying documents. ref SDS 3 L246

131114 - Millie's letter says...
131115 -
131116 -    1.  We had an informative meeting today with Doctor Benz, and look
131117 -        forward to the report he submits.  Since Kaiser is not paying
131118 -        for the report, please ask Doctor Benz to send his comments to
131119 -        me, and I will make distribution. ref DIT 1 0001
131121 -         ..
131122 -    2.  Sorry we missed seeing you this morning, as planned in your
131123 -        letter on Oct 12. Despite your best efforts, the doctor was
131124 -        unable to review case history, ref SDS 3 EN5L, on the Internet,
131125 -        which seems strange since UCSF refers patients to the Internet
131126 -        routinely.  Of course glitches happen no matter how hard
131127 -        everyone tries to facilitate efficient, accurate work.  Next
131128 -        time, maybe someone can call to clear the problem. ref DIT 1

131131 -         ..
131132 -    3.  Doctor Benz asked for the name of the trial, ref SDS 3 LX47,
131133 -        where I get treatment with Avastin. ref DIT 1 J46O  Since this
131134 -        is part of the case study on the Internet, which the doctor was
131135 -        unable to open on his computer, perhaps you could pass along
131136 -        information on the trial shown in the record of the meeting at
131137 -        Kaiser on 040318. ref SDS 1 DK63
131139 -         ..
131140 -    4.  Please extend my deepest appreciation to Doctor Benz for
131141 -        stepping in and giving my case a once over on short notice; he
131142 -        was very effective despite not having the case chronology.
131143 -        ref DIT 1 H27N

131146 -    5.  Thanks too for your help Sheridan.  You did a great job
131147 -        coordinating this visit. ref DIT 1 668K
