202501 - Since Millie's primary care physician reported yesterday, that he has
202502 - not received Doctor Guardino's report from Stanford, Millie sent a
202503 - letter ref DIT 1 0001 asking Denise for help, based on the letter from
202504 - Denise on 041110 offering to facilitate distrubution of the report.
202505 - ref SDS 15 QY6U
202507 - ..
202508 - Millie's letter says...
202509 -
202510 - 1. Following up our correspondence on Nov 10, ref SDS 15 HT9J, I
202511 - met with the primary care physician at Kaiser yesterday on
202512 - 041130, and he has not received the report from Doctor Guardino
202513 - on her examination at Stanford on 041019. ref SDS 11 BV8N I
202514 - haven't received the Doctor's report either. ref DIT 1 0001
202516 - ..
202517 - 2. I called Medical records a few weeks ago, as you suggested on
202518 - 041103, ref SDS 13 WL5M, and talked to Barbara in the new
202519 - patient department. She said the computer shows that Medical
202520 - Records has me on the distribution list (thanks for your help
202521 - on that), and that they had already sent the report, on Doctor
202522 - Guardino's examination, out for distribution. ref SDS 17 7L4J
202523 - She said there is no point in contacting Medical Records
202524 - because the report is out of their hands. ref DIT 1 V56F
202526 - ..
202527 - 3. Hopefully, I am not being an "impatient" patient, but is there
202528 - anything we can to get Doctor Guardino's report for planning
202529 - next steps? ref DIT 1 F66N

203317 - the patient to authorize distribution to the patient, and to Kaiser,
203318 - per the letter to Stanford earlier, per above, ref SDS 0 RT3N, and
203319 - further in light of the record showing that Millie signed all
203320 - documents requested by Stanford and paid for the report in full on

203323 - ..

203706 -
203707 - To make a long story short, Michael says they have the report,
203708 - but for some reason have not made distribution. Guess we "fell
203709 - through the cracks" again. Michael is sending the report to

204102 -
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
204106 - per the patients request.

204109 - No further signatures on Mildreds behalf are necessary to
204110 - acquire her report.

204117 - Michael's letter continues...
204118 -

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.

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,

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
204173 - ..
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

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
