1009 - Summary/Objective
1010 -
101001 - Follow up ref SDS 10 0000.
101002 -
101003 - Talked to Karen.
101004 -
101005 - She said George is in the hospital today.  She will ask him to call
101006 - back on status of his report on my physical.
101007 -
101008 - Need report on results of blood test, per letter at ref DIP 1 0001
101009 - submitted at ref SDS 6
101010 -
101011 - PSA reading should be below 4, telecon on 940708. ref SDS 9 9667

1012 -
1013 - 1407 George called back
1014 -
101401 - Left message that blood tests taken on 940629, ref SDS 6 0001, were
101402 - perfectly normal:  prostate, liver, kidney, ... the whole thing.
101403 -
101404 -     This seems to conflict slightly with understanding from Bill
101405 -     Palmer on 940708 who indicates the "trend" in prostate tests is
101406 -     critical. ref SDS 9 9667
101407 -
101408 - Cholesteral was a little above standard for my age, 49.
101409 -
101410 - This can be a temporary thing or indicate a problem. Without a strong
101411 - family history and a normal exam, and normal blood pressure, non
101412 - smoker and so forth, it does not require any intervention, at this
101413 - time.
101414 - ..
101415 - George said he wants to check cholesterol again to get a more
101416 - accurate pattern of what my true cholesteral is.  He said this should
101417 - be done within about 3 months of the original test on 940629.
101418 -
101419 -    [On 990713 Kaiser reports possibly serious cholesterol problem...
101420 -    ref SDS 15 7469]
101421 -
101422 - George's message said that normally he sends a lab slip to the patient
101423 - for scheduling the follow up examination.  If the second test shows
101424 - cholesterol is still a little high, he will discuss diet modification.
101425 - Often these things are sort of a natural variance.
101426 -
101427 -     [On 940724 submitted request for report. ref SDS 11 0001]
101428 -
101429 -     [On 940825 letters were lost by Kaiser. ref SDS 12 0001]
101430 -
101431 -   Never received notice for follow up.
