340414 - Millie said the exercise at the gym yesterday included one routine
340415 - that lifting the right and left arms alternatively to music.  This was
340416 - done vigorously and numerous times, as with any physical work out to
340417 - build strength and range of motion, i.e., flexibility.  After the
340418 - workout yesterday, she was perspiring heavily, and even more so the
340419 - day before on Monday, because of hiking fast over hills with high
340420 - temperature and humidity.  Possibly, the perspiring process on the
340421 - left arm over-taxed the lymphatics on the left side, leading to trauma
340422 - that caused lymphedema, and then Cellulitis.

CM0521 - Christina explained that unusually high WBC blood counts are expected

CM0523 - infection.  There is a compound effect with Neupogen.

CM0525 -            [On 080501 UCSF cites rise in blood counts yesterday, after
CM0526 -            1 Neupogen treatment, to change prescription from 2 to 1
CM0527 -            weekly treatments with Neupogen for enabling continuous

CM0541 - patient history, as Christina notes today is critical to Emergency
CM0542 - care?

CM0545 - Christina said there is no indication in the computer of any blood
CM0546 - tests between today and 071017.  Millie advised that she has been

F00506 - admitting patients.  The doctor does not know how to use the computer
F00507 - for discharge ops; there evidently is no one available to assist with

F00545 - They decided not to admit Millie to the hospital because Millie is

F00547 - risk for disease caused by infection.  They feel staying in the

F00553 - The doctor has prescribed another 14 days of Keflex.  The prescription
F00554 - has already been entered in the computer, and so should be ready in

F00562 - As long as Millie's temperature is not elevated to create a greater
