160901 - Went to the Business Office on the 1st floor of the Kaiser hospital in

160903 - opinion, as reported to Doctor Grissom yesterday on 050825,

160909 - The work today is similar to the order placed on 041007 to get medical
160910 - records for the 1st 2nd opinion, ref SDS 1 GI9F, which were received
160911 - later on 041014. ref SDS 2 GI9F  It turned out that most of the
160912 - documents received from Kaiser for the 1st 2nd opinion were not used;
160913 - therefore, this time medical records will be assembled based on the
160914 - prior experience.
