041315 - severely painful skin affliction.
041317 -  ..
041318 - Laurie said that since a blood draw using Millie's Power Port only
041319 - takes 5 minutes, Cisi would do the blood draw in about 10 minutes
041320 - after she returns from lunch at 1230, using a doctor's examination
041321 - room, to avoid exposing other chemotherapy patients to Millie's
041322 - shingles.

041325 - Went to the Pharmacy to get Millie.
041327 -  ..
041328 - After filling the prescription for medication to recover from

041337 - emergency blood draw ordered by Doctor Zhang.
041339 -  ..
041340 - Millie was referred to the Kaiser Infusion Clinic in Martinez,
041341 - California for accessing her Power Port to get the blood draw, and in
041342 - order to implement Doctor Johnson's order for the Chemotherapy
041343 - Infusion Clinic at Kaiser in Walnut Creek to perform blood draws using
041344 - Millie's Power Port with a 1" Huber Needle, because Millie cannot get
041345 - blood draws in her arms, reported on 091112 0930. ref SDS 11 UN8F
041346 -
041347 -            [On 100119 0830 Mary Beth in the Infusion Clinic at Kaiser
041348 -            in Martinez, CA reported a new policy to avoid using port
041349 -            catheter technology for blood draws because some may
041350 -            patients may have a small risk of complications caused by
041351 -            using Heperin to maintain the port catheter, ref SDS 36
041352 -            X56L; Millie cited the record of having zero (0) risk since
041353 -            she never suffered complications from the medical team
041354 -            using Heperin to maintain her Power Port for hundreds of
041355 -            procedures over an 8-year period, and further explained
041356 -            Doctor Johnson's order for Kaiser to use Millie's Power
041357 -            Port for blood draws and infusion procedures in order to
041358 -            avoid the high risk of compounding Millie's cancer and
041359 -            lymphedema which now infect both arms, ref SDS 36 QR72; as
041360 -            a result, Kaiser's Infusion Clinic in Martinez used
041361 -            Millie's Power Port to perform blood draws to minimize the
041362 -            risk of complications. ref SDS 36 QR8G
041364 -             ..
041365 -            [On 100203 1410 Arlette called and advised she received
041366 -            Millie's letter notifying the medical team that Gloria
041367 -            ordered an interim blood draw to test INR on Friday,
041368 -            100205, and in order to make timely adjustment to Millie's
041369 -            Coumadin prescription on Friday to reduce the risk of
041370 -            pulmonary embolism, ref SDS 37 QJ85; Arlette reported that
041371 -            Chemotherapy Infusion Clinic in Walnut Creek refuses to
041372 -            perform the doctor's order to use Millie's Power Port for
041373 -            blood draws, because of new general policy to reduce the
041374 -            risk of complications which some patients have from using
041375 -            Heperin to maintain port catheters. ref SDS 37 124J
041377 -             ..
041378 -            [On 100204 1325 Millie's letter to the medical team asks
041379 -            the primary care physician to enter in Millie's medical
041380 -            chart and notify the Chemotherapy Infusion Clinic that
041381 -            Millie's patient profile requires drawing blood from
041382 -            Millie's Power Port rather than use IV needle penetration
041383 -            balancing very low risks of Heprin contamination in the
041384 -            Power Port which has never occurred in Millie's case over 8
041385 -            years, against lymphedema recently diagnosed in the right
041386 -            arm which, has prevented IV needle penetrations in the left
041387 -            arm for 8 years. ref SDS 38 SB6S
041389 -             ..
041390 -            [On 100205 0938 Doctor Johnson did not have time to align
041391 -            Kaiser practices for Millie's blood draws, with Millie's
041392 -            patient profile, so Millie was forced to get the blood draw
041393 -            with an IV in her right arm despite rising IBC and
041394 -            lymphedema; fortunately, the lab was successful on the
041395 -            first needle penetration, ref SDS 39 IS6R, and the lab
041396 -            reported the test shows INR 3.2, significant improvement
041397 -            after pausing Coumadin for 2 days; Millie asks Gloria for
041398 -            guidance from Coagulation Control Clinic on adjusting
041399 -            Coumadin medicattion. ref SDS 39 IS7Q
041401 -             ..
041402 -            [On 100427 0830 Doctor Johnson entered in medical chart
041403 -            another order for blood draws to be performed using only
041404 -            Millie's Power Port because both arms are infected with
041405 -            cancer, and needle punctures cause cancer to spread.
041406 -            ref SDS 40 X74Q
041408 -             ..
041409 -            [On 100529 0930 blood draw went smoothly correcting past
041410 -            problems, because nurse relied on instructions in
041411 -            medical chart on 100427, directing use of Millie's Power
041412 -            Port for blood draws, ref SDS 40 X74Q, and restating
041413 -            directions in the doctor's letter to the Kaiser Walnut
041414 -            Creek Infusion Clinic on 091112, ref SDS 11 UN8F, and so
041415 -            in Millie's case overrules the new policy change a few
041416 -            months ago that prevented nurses from drawing blood
041417 -            using Millie's port, thereby forcing Millie to get blood
041418 -            drawn from her arms infected with cancer, causing her
041419 -            cancer to spread, e.g., on 100104, ref SDS 28 4Q30, and
041420 -            which conflicted with the doctor's order to avoid blood
041421 -            draws and blood pressure procedures on Millie's arms
041422 -            infected with cancer. ref SDS 41 SK8M
041424 -  ..
041425 - Explained there is not enough time get in the car and drive to Kaiser
041426 - in Martinez, because Millie has a meeting with the eye doctor at
041427 - Kaiser at Park Shadelands, scheduled for today by Doctor Zhang,
041428 - reported in another record today. 100104 1115, ref SDS 27 PRRT
041430 -  ..
041431 - Lauris said there is nothing she can do to implement Doctor Johnson's
041432 - order to perform blood draws using Millie's Power Port.  She said
041433 - Millie can call and ask Kaiser to schedule the blood draw, sometime
041434 - later this week.
041436 -  ..
041437 - Explained understanding that Doctor Zhang ordered an immediate blood
041438 - draw today, reported on 100104 1115, ref SDS 27 0P4S
041440 -  ..
041441 - Lauris said there is nothing she can do, because Cisi feels there is
041442 - not enough time for the Clinic to perform an emergency blood draw
041443 - using Millie's Power Port.
041445 -  ..
041446 - Since time was short, Millie went to the Kaiser Laboratory in the
041447 - basement lab to try and do the blood draw with a conventional IV.
041449 -  ..
041450 - After a 90 minute wait, Millie was lucky to get the blood draw on the
041451 - first needle penetration.  So, it only took 5 minutes.
