202518 -        041103, ref SDS 13 WL5M, and talked to Barbara in the new
202519 -        patient department.  She said the computer shows that Medical

204103 -        Per our conversation earlier today, I have sent Dr. Guardion a
204104 -        copy of the report for the 10/19/04 visit to be signed. A copy
204105 -        will go to Dr. Robert Johnson and the patient Mildred B*** as

204119 -        Unfortunately I couldn't find Dr. Guardions e-mail so I must
204120 -        send a letter informing Dr. Guardino of the current situation.
204121 -        I also will send a copy of this e-mail along with the report.
204122 -        I hope this helps. If you happen to have a phone number to Dr.
204123 -        Guardino that I could have that would be great. Please feel
204124 -        free to contact me about any other questions or concerns you
204125 -        may have.
204126 -
204128 -  ..
204129 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Michael to Doctor Guardino saying....
204130 -
204131 -    1.  My name is Michael and I am from the Release of Information
204132 -        section of the Medical Records Department here at Stanford.
204134 -         ..
204135 -    2.  I need your help.
204137 -         ..
204138 -    3.  I just received a call from a Rod Welch asking the status of a
204139 -        clinic visit report his ex- wife Mildred B*** had with you on
204140 -        10/19/04.
204142 -         ..
204143 -    4.  It was to be signed and sent to a [Millie's primary care
204144 -        physician] in Walnut Creek as well as a copy to have gone to
204145 -        the patient Mildred B***.  Neither party has since received the
204146 -        report.  Now you may have signed it and we just haven't
204147 -        received it to scan or you may not have.  But as of now I need
204148 -        you to sign it so the patients' physician, Dr.  Johnson, may
204149 -        have a copy to continue care for the patient.
204151 -  ..
204152 - Michael's explanation aligns with the call earlier this afternoon,
204153 - shown above. ref SDS 0 N86H

204156 - Michael continues to Doctor Guardino...
204157 -
204158 -    5.  Please sign and send this back to me right away so that I may
204159 -        send a copy to both parties.  I appreciate your help in getting
204160 -        this back to me in a timely manner.
204161 -
204162 -
204164 -  ..
204165 - Submitted ref DIT 3 0001 to Stanford thanking Michale for excellent
204166 - work managing the record, and taking responsibility for getting
204167 - things done.  The letter says...
204168 -
204169 -    1.  Thanks very much for following up to complete distribution on
204170 -        Stanford's 2nd opinion for Millie, ref DIT 3 0001, per your
204171 -        letter below, reflecting our telecon. ref SDS 0 N86H

204174 -    2.  Great to see someone out there taking responsibility, and using
204175 -        sound procedures for command and control of the work.  Bet you
204176 -        have a degree in this stuff. ref DIT 3 666J
204178 -         ..
204179 -    3.  Could you please send me an email notifying when the document
204180 -        is put in the mail, or let me know if there is any further
204181 -        snag?

240404 -    4.  We of course need a signed report, which you are providing.  Is
240405 -        there any chance we can get the computer file so we don't have
240406 -        to type everything to manage the record?  UCSF gave us both a
