040989 - were believed to cause breathing problems Millie had, though later
040990 - breathing problems were discovered to be caused by defective radiation

041183 - days instead of 14. ref SDS A6 EG5P  Agreed that extending Kaiser's
041184 - response another few days until tomorrow, or Monday, is an acceptable
041185 - risk, even though Millie's cancer markier has increased significantly
041186 - to over 1000, and so that an equitable solution can be implented that
041187 - allows treatment in time to be effective for Millie. ref SDS A6 EG73

041838 -             response to Millie's claim requesting treatment to recover
