040963 - Jodie did not get a copy of Millie's letter sent to the medical team

040971 - dislocation, which Millie suffered on 090122, and shown in xrays at
040972 - Kaiser on 090129, ref SDS 5 TE99, should not present a risk unless the
040973 - arm was moved with the elbow raised and twisting away from the body
040974 - toward the back. She said this movement risks poping the shoulder
040975 - loose, because that was the direction of separation and so is now the
040976 - weakest positioning the shoulder.

040979 - Millie explained that the doctor at UCSF had to move the arm in that
040980 - direction in order to position test and layout equipment for cancer

040985 - PA, or physical therapyst to minimize risk?
040987 - ..
040988 - Millie recalled there were 4 - 6 people in the room doing various
040989 - things. Most of the layout was done by Doctor Hsu, with Radiation
040990 - Oncology. There was not enough time for the team to provide a record
040991 - of who attended the meeting, what work each performed. She just
040992 - doesn't know.
040994 - ..
040995 - Jodie had Millie perform several range of motion tests moving her arm
040996 - and fingers in various ways. This was more extensive, including
040997 - moving the entire arm in the shoulder socket. She said Millie did
040998 - very well.
