290426 - Neupogen if blood counts are still too low after 14 days. He also
290427 - posed prospect of extending the treatment, giving Millie 2 weeks off
290428 - after the end of 2 weeks for Xeloda treatmet, rather than just 1 week
290429 - that is currently prescribed. Zan advised that he may reduce the

450514 - ref SDS 0 4N5M Millie cited patient history of consistant low blood
450515 - counts that have previously delayed treatments, and asked if this
450516 - prior history could explain Toni's earlier comment that the doctor has
450517 - prescribed Neupogen in order to avoid prior problems?
450519 - ..
450520 - Zan said that Toni made a mistake because he plans to begin tracking
450521 - blood counts and will devise a plan for Neupogen, if needed.

450524 - Millie explained keeping a diary of patient history the past 4 years,
450525 - as Zan recommends today, per above. ref SDS 0 2W6I This record seems
450526 - to support Toni's understanding today that the doctor has already
450527 - prescribed Neupogen. She asked Zan to check with the doctor, since
450528 - this is a life or death issue.

450531 - Zan advised that he is manager of the Oncology Pharmacy Department,
450532 - and that the Pharmacy is tasked to assess requirements for Neupogen.
450533 - He feels certain the doctor expects the pharmacy to track Millie's

450906 - Zan advised that the doctor prescribed three (3) days on Neupogen
450907 - after Millie completes two (2) weeks of capecitabine (Xeloda)
450908 - treatments, beginning in this 1st cycle. Zan apologized for not
450909 - having checked the record showing the history of low blood counts has
450910 - already been established in this case.

450916 - Zan thanked Millie for proactive communication explaining patient's
450917 - diary that aligns with the medical chart showing low blood counts, and
450918 - for mentioning Toni's understanding that Neupogen has already been
450919 - prescribed by the doctor. Zan said that the patient's notice today,
450920 - per above, ref SDS 0 KX49, prompted follow up inquiry with the doctor
450921 - that avoided a major mistake in treatment protocol, which aligns with
450922 - risks in medical practice and health care, reported in a study on
450923 - 990912. ref SDS 2 0001
450925 - ..
450926 - This scenario aligns with Kaiser's Healthwise Handbook calling for an
450927 - effective doctor-patient partnership through communication and
450928 - feedback that avoids mistakes, reviewed on 990625. ref SDS 1 4185

450936 - It is not clear what would have occurred, if the doctor was not
450937 - available at the time Zan made inquiry. In that case, a significant
450938 - weight of social pressure and cognitive overhead typically resist
450939 - accurate communication, as set out in NWO. ref OF 13 OE5H
450941 - ..
450942 - For example, if, when Zan stopped by to visit the doctor on this
450943 - matter, the doctor was seeing a patient, attending a Tumor Board
450944 - hearing, making a presentation at a seminar on medical management, or,
450945 - if the doctor was on vacation, would clarification needed for an
450946 - accurate prescription today have taken place? If the doctor was not
450947 - available, do Kaiser's records enable Zan to review blood count
450948 - history in the time Zan can devote to making an assessment for one
450949 - patient, which he believed the doctor had already made? Would Zan
450950 - have asked another doctor to step in and assume responsibility for
450951 - reviewing the record and making a separate judgement? Would pressures
450952 - of social protocol in bureaucracy have prevented asking another doctor
450953 - to assume responsibility, reported on 040203? ref SDS 5 E44K Was
450954 - another doctor available, and if so, would that doctor be willing to
450955 - take responsibility, and, if so, would the doctor have taken time to
450956 - review the record and discover the history of persistant low blood
450957 - counts? Or, would the doctor have told Zan to wait until the primary
450958 - care physician is avilable, either after seeing a patient, after a
450959 - Tumor Board Hearing, after attending a seminar, or after returning
450960 - from vacation, as occurred previously on 041104. ref SDS 41 Q54O

450964 - reasons that frustrate taking immediate action, as noted in NWO
450965 - explaining the burden of cognitive overhead, ref OF 13 LH6K, would
450966 - there have been a controllable action item created to remind all
450967 - parties to investigate blood count history and make a determination in
