0417 -
041701 - Talked to Paul.
041702 -
041703 - Paul calculated the procedure for 6 months after 111115, the date the
041704 - last procedure, ref SDS 1 K37G, would be OA 120515, rather than next
041705 - month in April.
041707 - ..
041708 - Paul said that Doctor Lee is booked in May until June 21.
041710 - ..
041711 - Explained the doctor ordered a procedure in 6 months.
041713 - ..
041714 - Paul said the doctor cannot comply with his original work plan.
041716 - ..
041717 - Paul said the GI Department has a cancellation this Thursday, on
041718 - 120222 1100. He feels the Doctor will agree to perform the procedure
041719 - this week, rather than wait until June 21.
041721 - ..
041722 - Since this is the first 6 month interval for procedures that have
041723 - previously been performed every 3 months, doing the procedure after
041724 - 4.5 months is a good for evaluating effectiveness of 6 month interval.
041725 - If condition of LESV is as good as expected last November, then can
041726 - wait full 6 months for next procedure.
041728 - ..
041729 - Scheduled meeting for Thursday....
041730 -
041731 - 120222 11
041733 - ..
041734 - This is better than delaying procedure more than a month beyond the 6
041735 - month work plan, particularly since this is the first attempt to test
041736 - effectiveness of 6 month interval.
041738 - ..
041739 - Explained have to coordinate with Kathy for driving support.
041741 - ..
041742 - For that matter I could walk back to the house, except VA probably has
041743 - a regulation that customers need a "designated walker."
041745 - ..
041746 - If Kathy is working Thursday, can stay at Mather until she has a 20
041747 - minute break to swing by for the drive home after the procedure, which
041748 - will likely be OA 1600. Actually, can stay at the VA and work until
041749 - Kathy's shift ends at 1900, and get picked up at 1930 or whatever.
041750 - Can coordinate with cell phones.
041752 - ..
041753 - All VA needs is a cell phone to call the driver to arrive for a ride
041754 - home when time permits.
041756 - ..
041757 - Seems like reasonable chance to accomplish work on 120322 1100.
041759 - ..
041760 - Paul said if there is a conflict that prevents doing the work on
041761 - Thursday, call and let them know...
041762 -
041763 - 916 366 5339
041765 - ..
041766 - Problem is whether VA makes a fuss about seeing the designated driver
041767 - at the time the patient is called for the procedure at 1100. If not,
041768 - she could drop me off at the hospital at 0630, or any convenient time
041769 - for her getting to work and I can work at the hospital until called
041770 - for the procedure at 1100.
041772 - ..
041773 - If they get Kath's cell phone, they can call prior to starting the
041774 - procedure to verify she will do the drive home gig.
041776 - ..
041777 - Accordingly, this should work out no matter what.

042108 - ..
042109 - 2. New plan.
042111 - ..
042112 - 3. VA in Sacramento can't do procedure until June 21. They have
042113 - cancellation this Thursday 1100, so took that date - see line
042114 - 0416. ref SDS 0 NA5U
042116 - ..
042117 - 4. If you have a schedule conflict can walk over the house, you
042118 - indicated it is only 3 miles, or call a cab. Actually, VA has
042119 - previously balked at the cab procedure. They may be close
042120 - enough for me to hang out and work at the hospital until you
042121 - can swing by for a ride to the house.
042123 - ..
042124 - 5. If we feel this won't work, can call back and cancel.
