110905 - On 070215 Millie submitted a letter, ref DIP 5 0001, notifying UCSF
110906 - that the primary care physician reported findings of a new rash on the
110907 - upper left arm, ref SDS 14 LK8H, during an examination at Kaiser on
110908 - 070202. ref SDS 9 JP6F  Yesterday, on 060216 Jackie, Clinical Research
110909 - Coordinator at UCSF, notified Millie that UCSF wants to meet on 070222
110910 - at 0830 and prior to previously scheduled Millie getting treatment in
110911 - the Infusion Clinic at UCSF on clinical study.  Jackie further
110912 - requested that Millie confirm she can attend the meeting on 070222 at
110913 - 0830. ref SDS 15 UK5M
110915 -  ..
110916 - Millie submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to UCSF saying...
110917 -
110918 -    1.  We're back from the memorial service.  Thanks again for
110919 -        expediting prescription to treat cellulitis, and thanks to
110920 -        Kaiser.  I got a letter from the primary care physician and
110921 -        from Arlette saying the prescription is ready.  I will get it
110922 -        tomorrow. ref DIT 1 0001

110924 -            [On 070218 Millie played tennis; left arm seemed more
110925 -            swollen; she began taking Keflex antibiotic to treat
110926 -            cellulitis. ref SDS 16 N074

110929 -            [On 070222 examination at UCSF indicates rash on upper left
110930 -            arm more likely expanding IBC. ref SDS 17 B64F
110932 -         ..
110933 -    2.  Thanks, also, for scheduling review of cellulitis next
110934 -        Thursday, 070222 0830.  There is naturally a question whether
110935 -        this is cellulitis, which seems likely, or IBC, in light of
110936 -        Doctor Rugo's examination on 070130. ref SDS 7 M68J,

110943 -    3.  Can you please coordinate with Catherine to let her know that
110944 -        my treatment in the Chemotherapy Clinic will be delayed by 30
110945 -        minutes or so for Brigid's examination, assuming she can start
110946 -        on time, which was problematic a few weeks ago. ref DIT 1 L66O

260408 -
260409 -    4.  On your 2nd point of going through the UCSF call center for
260410 -        emergencies, will this wind up so I get treatment by Kaiser's
260411 -        Emergency folks?  I have done this on 4 or 5 occasions, and
260412 -        find their service excellent.  Particularly, since Kaiser has
260413 -        access to patient history, critical for taking immediate
260414 -        action.  I don't have to call Kaiser for emergency treatment.
260415 -        Standing orders are to go to ER when my temp gets above 100.5,
260416 -        e.g., on 061027. ref SDS 4 HP52, ref DIT 1 L67L

260427 -  ..
260428 - The problem to be solved is during an emergency there is no one
260429 - available at UCSF who knows Millie's patient history, and there are no
260430 - instructions on her getting treatment at Kaiser.  Case study on 070130

260436 -    5.  I don't want to drive to UCSF for an emergency.  Might not make
260437 -        it through traffic.  Does UCSF have arrangements with Kaiser on
260438 -        this issue?  Hope I'm not being a pill.  Just want to have
260439 -        things work smoothly in emergencies, as they have in the past.

260449 -        is appreciated. ref DIT 1 L69L
