0808 - Background
0809 -
080901 -    1.  Repairing tooth #2 is reported on 090220. ref SDS 17 FQ5G  At
080902 -        that time on 090220, Christi advised that Russ would review the
080903 -        chart, and call to discuss scope and price.
080905 -         ..
080906 -    2.  On 090223 Russ called this from Steve Olsen's office, to follow
080907 -        up the request for proposal on 090220. ref SDS 17 F066
080909 -         ..
080910 -        Russel indicated tooth #2 would require an implant, and this
080911 -        would cost about $5K to accomplish. ref SDS 18 VY7W  Christi
080912 -        called back and scheduled an initial meeting on 080306.  Russ
080913 -        will spend an hour to clean the teeth, and take some xrays.
080914 -        The Periodonist will make an examination for 30 minutes.
080916 -         ..
080917 -        For this 1.5 hours of work, and xrays, the Olsen office will
080918 -        charge $500. ref SDS 18 9Z7I
080920 -         ..
080921 -        This cost seems higher than original pricing proposed on
080922 -        050518. ref SDS 3 ZZ4M
080924 -         ..
080925 -    3.  On 090223 called Richard and he indicated that tooth #2 often
080926 -        does not require implant repair.  He sometimes does only an
080927 -        extraction. ref SDS 19 JW9O  Richard suggested calling his
080928 -        dentist in Danville, David Graham.  Richard went to dental
080929 -        school with David, and has very high regard for his work,
080930 -        especially because Doctor Graham continued to teach dentistry,
080931 -        while running his own practice in Danville.
080933 -         ..
080934 -        On 090223 1118 called and scheduled meeting with Doctor Graham
080935 -        this morning for 2nd opinion on repairing tooth #2. ref SDS 20
080936 -        8V9O
080938 -         ..
080939 -    4.  On 090302 0815 meeting Doctor Graham in Danville; 2nd opinion
080940 -        recommended doing extraction only on tooth #2, ref SDS 20 H68W,
080941 -        took xrays for referral to Doctor Keith in Walnut Creek.
080942 -        ref SDS 20 RQ9N  Analysis of xrays seems to indicate extraction
080943 -        does not risk eruption of tooth #31. ref SDS 20 0326

090405 - Decided to try maintaining continuity of work through Steve Olsen's
090406 - office.  Olsen offers integrated care for close order collaboration
090407 - and consultation that leverages practice synergy, similar to Millie's
090408 - care at UCSF, discussed in the letter to Doctor Rugo on 090204.
090409 - ref SDS 15 278Q  If there is objection to implementing Doctor Graham's
090410 - work plan, and if such objection is not well founded, can switch and
090411 - use the referral to Doctor Keith, received yesterday on 090302.

090415 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 a letter to Russ via Kristi, and saying...

090417 -    1.  This confirms planning from telecon on Feb 23rd for me to visit
090418 -        on Friday March 6 at 0830, ref SDS 17 KT4L, for teeth cleaning
090419 -        and general examination. ref DIT 1 0001

090421 -            [On 090305 0938 Kristi called and advised the meeting is at
090422 -            0800, not 0830. ref SDS 22 XA8I
090424 -         ..
090425 -    2.  There was discussion of doing an implant for tooth #2.
090426 -        ref SDS 17 VY7W  Kristi called later and said that you proposed
090427 -        an initial examination by the specialist, ref SDS 17 4Q8H, as a
090428 -        predicate to doing implant work. ref DIT 1 YM5O
090430 -         ..
090431 -    3.  My thinking is to do an extraction of tooth #2 on Friday, if
090432 -        you and the specialist agree.  Infection may be occurring that
090433 -        is slowing me down, and so needs timely relief, similar to when
090434 -        Doctor Hasse did the root canal a few years ago [and cited in
090435 -        the record the day before on 050518 from findings during work
090436 -        by Steve. ref SDS 3 F79R].  I would like to get the extraction
090437 -        done to prevent problems from escalating out of control.

090440 -            [On 090304 1018 received call from Eddie who confirmed this
090441 -            letter was submitted to Doctor Harris and Doctor Meyer.

090445 -    4.  We can then discuss requirements for implant work, based on
090446 -        findings from the extraction process. ref DIT 1 YM7I
