042103 -    1.  Subject: Visit End of August??
042104 -        Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2010 23:50:01 -0700
042112 -         ..
042113 -    2.  Called the house this evening and left a message about visiting
042114 -        at the end of the month [...reported today on 100815 1645,
042115 -        ref SDS 0 WB7O...], per your letter with condolences on
042116 -        Millie's death [...reported on 100809 1321. ref SDS 17 GO5S...]
042117 -        I would like to do this, if your schedule still permits.
042119 -         ..
042120 -    3.  The past 2 years have been "all hands on deck" to move the
042121 -        "mountain" at Kaiser and UCSF, but we ran out of time.
042123 -         ..
042124 -    4.  Clint Eastwood has a line in his movie "Unforgiven" (circa
042125 -        1992) -- "We've all got it coming, kid!"
042127 -         ..
042128 -    5.  Millie, however, was innocent!  She didn't have it coming at
042129 -        this time, which is the entire game in oncology care.
042131 -         ..
042132 -    6.  USAFIC study published in the late 70s found that all major DOD
042133 -        projects fail because management collapses into chaos over
042134 -        time.  That is the best that can be said in Millie's case --
042135 -        after 9 years, the medical team could not cope with
042136 -        complexities of her care [...listed on 090213 1140. ref SDS 2
042137 -        AC6G...]  Still, it is difficult to see how 44 requests for
042138 -        treatment could simply be overlooked, rather than purposefully
042139 -        ignored to save money, particularly since the doctor told us a
042140 -        year earlier that Kaiser would not pay more money for Mil's
042141 -        care -- remember the story about the wise man from India who
042142 -        invented chess -- that's what we heard on 090213. 090213 1140,
042143 -        ref SDS 2 4N67
042145 -         ..
042146 -    7.  In any case, the immediate frenzy of activity the past 2 months
042147 -        is now a big void, so getting away may be helpful.
042149 -         ..
042150 -    8.  As mentioned in the phone message, I have a minor medical
042151 -        procedure on 100827, so thought I might fly out to LGA the next
042152 -        day, and stay for a week or so depending on your situation.
042153 -        Please let me know if this sounds doable.  "Chores" sound
042154 -        promising.
