040901 - On 081016 Doctor Rugo developed a work plan to change Millie's
040902 - treatment in the event of progression of disease. The doctor ordered
040903 - FNA biopsy of left neck supraclavicular node for cancer to evaluate
040904 - progression of cancer, and to perform a status check to evaluate
040905 - possibility of expanding treatments for Millie. ref SDS 1 J36R
040907 - ..
040908 - Earlier today, Millie received a letter from the primary care
040909 - physician at Kaiser setting a meeting in the surgery department on
040910 - Thursday 081023 1050 to triage the biopsy procedure, and saying the
040911 - actual biopsy would be done later. ref SDS 3 KS8K
040913 - ..
040914 - Calls to Kaiser determined that the referral to the Surgery Department
040915 - did not specify FNA biopsy of node in the left supraclavicular and
040916 - perform a status check. ref SDS 3 PQ7T The Surgery Department
040917 - transferred the referral to the Head and Neck Department, ref SDS 3
040918 - 03GE, and suggested following up tomorrow on scheduling and to verify
040919 - scope of work. ref SDS 3 5T31
040921 - ..
040922 - Millie sent a follow up letter to the primary care physician for
040923 - assistance implementing the FNA biopsy and status check with Head and

040948 - change the time. ref SDS 3 4Q4C
040950 - ..
040951 - 6. She talked to Doctor Riley-Paull, who evidently sent the order
040952 - to Head and Neck, ref SDS 3 03GE, because the Surgery people do

040954 - 081016. ref SDS 1 J36R
040956 - ..
