080901 - Met with Kendall to discuss arrangements for a driver needed for
080902 - endoscopy test on 100827, scheduled during the meeting with Doctor Lee
080903 - on 100810 1530. ref SDS 2 QQ5O
080905 -  ..
080906 - Kendall advised that Doctor Lee has a procedure at 0730, and 2
080907 - patients booked for 0830.
080909 -  ..
080910 - He seemed to indicate that Doctor Lee typically does not arrive until
080911 - about 0900, so the 0730 patient procedure does not actually start
080912 - until about 0930.  These endoscopy procedures take about 30 minutes.
080913 - so the 1st of the 2 patients scheduled for 0830 will occur between 10
080914 - and 1030.
080916 -  ..
080917 - Kendall estimates therefore that the first of the 0830 patients will
080918 - be ready to be picked up between 1100 - 1200.
080920 -  ..
080921 - Kendall said that arriving at the VA at 0800 will ensure being the 1st
080922 - of the 0830 procedures between 1000 - 1030.
080924 -  ..
080925 - Kendall advised that the doctor will not start the procedure until the
080926 - patient's driver responds to a call from the nurse at the VA, so that
080927 - the VA has confirmation that a driver will be available to take the
080928 - patient home after the procedure.

080942 - Kenall seemed to indicate that anesthesia for endoscopy is relatively
080943 - mild compared to heart surgery.  Patients are released to resume
