042727 -        necessary and reasonable care for the past year that has placed

042742 -    6.  A week later, on 090612, UCSF began treatment for me to

042747 -    7.  However, through a long series of vague, perhaps fraudulent,
042748 -        communications, UCSF got Kaiser to resume my oncology care paid
042749 -        by Medicare and with a representation that treatment I needed
042750 -        to recover from medical mistakes would not be ready at UCSF

042752 -        EE5W...]  UCSF then delayed performance with excuses.  On
042753 -        100503, I notified Kaiser and UCSF that failure to perform
042754 -        would place UCSF in default of its agreement on 090616, to
042755 -        provide care for me to recover from UCSF medical mistakes.

042765 -        from Kaiser for oncology services, including emergency care,
042766 -        caused by UCSF medical mistakes.  This was only a nominal
042767 -        amount, that has not been quantified, but is estimated at less
042768 -        than $5K.
042770 -         ..
042771 -   10.  Kaiser failed to follow Medicare rules to make a determination
042772 -        in 14 days, and instead filed a response on 100708, received on
042773 -        100710. ref SDS D6 036C
042775 -         ..
042776 -   11.  On 100713, my assistant, Rod, filed on my behalf a request for
042777 -        reconsideration and appeal to Medicare to conform Kaiser's
042778 -        determination to facts and applicable regulations, which
042779 -        require holding me harmless from UCSF medical mistakes, by
042780 -        providing treatment with PARP, prescribed by UCSF. ref SDS D7

042784 -   12.  Unfortunately, since I have now been without treatment for 3
042785 -        months, and without effective care for a year, it now appears
042786 -        that even if Kaiser provides requested treatment, my cancer
042787 -        cannot recover.  I don't think this was the case on 090716, nor
042788 -        for anytime in between until 100601, while I submitted 44
042789 -        requests for care, shown in case study on 100622. ref SDS B5
042790 -        576S
042792 -         ..
042793 -   13.  On 100601, my doctor had received my claim requesting
042794 -        treatment, filed on 100527.  On 100601, I also submitted a
042795 -        letter via email with an agenda for meeting with the doctor
042796 -        requesting treatment to recover, as requested in my claim, and
042797 -        continuing 44 prior requests for the past year.
042799 -         ..
042800 -   14.  PARP "targeted" treatment or equal, requested in my claim, and
042801 -        prescribed by UCSF, would have enabled recovery, if care was
042802 -        provided on my last meeting at Kaiser on 100601.  My doctor
042803 -        told me on 100427, that my patient profile required "targeted"
042804 -        treatment UCSF prescribed, i.e., therapy "targeted" to cancer,
042805 -        beginning with PARP (new technology that improves upon chemo).
042806 -        So, on 100501, I sent a letter again requesting PARP treatment.
042807 -        The doctor responded saying to wait until the next meeting on
042808 -        100601.  However, on 100601, the doctor said he could not
042809 -        provide care because he could not communicate with Doctor Rugo
042810 -        at UCSF for an entire month using telephone and email.
042811 -        ref SDS 86 4F6I
042813 -         ..
042814 -   15.  The doctor spent about 5 minutes looking on the Internet for
042815 -        other sources to provide PARP, and then said he is sorry, but
042816 -        until UCSF notifies him they are ready to give me PARP, he can
042817 -        only prescribe medication to avoid pain and suffering while
042818 -        dying in Hospice care.  At that time, I was suffering severe
042819 -        pain from a year of chemotherapy, which Kaiser knew was
042820 -        ineffective and caused severe pain.
042822 -         ..
042823 -   16.  I assume my first claim requesting care, and filed on 100527,
042824 -        will become moot with my death, which now seems immanent, and
042825 -        fulfilling intent of Kaiser and UCSF to "run out the clock" by
042826 -        delaying care.  I feel conduct by UCSF and Kaiser causing
042827 -        wrongful death to avoid accountability should get a full airing
042828 -        for quality care improvement, and that this will only occur, if
042829 -        Kaiser and UCSF have to pay damages [...per Millie's request

042840 -        doctor in Kaiser's claim determination filed on 100708.  My
042841 -        doctor is represented as telling Kaiser's claims department
042842 -        that he told me on 100601, that my cancer cannot be treated by

042847 -   18.  In fact, he told me no such thing.  It took the doctor 10
042848 -        seconds to transfer me off the books of oncology, relieving him
042849 -        of responsibility for protecting my interests obtaining
042850 -        recovery from UCSF medical mistakes.  Whereas over the entire
042851 -        previous year, he claimed not to have enough time to arrange
042852 -        for care, which UCSF said was essential and effective for my
042853 -        recovery.

042909 -        so delayed treatment.  I did not file a claim for malpractice,

042912 -        I have 2nd opinions from UCSF and Stanford Cancer Centers
042913 -        showing misdiagnosis, and the doctor at Stanford told me that
042914 -        this long delay not treating my cancer for 18 months would
042915 -        significantly increase morbidity, which means my pain and
042916 -        suffering is increased as I near death.

042944 -        thereby cover up UCSF mistakes, so that UCSF reputation would
042945 -        not suffer as a leading Cancer Center, and my death removes me
042946 -        from the books at Kaiser, saving Kaiser the cost of my

042948 -        pain and suffering from a year of  chemotherapy which Kaiser
042949 -        and UCSF knew was ineffective and caused in my case unbearable
