Hi,

The Manual seems to work fine on Windows computers running Microsoft

Internet Explorer:

http://clos.net/get_patient_manual.htm

For Macs and Netscape people who have troubles

I have made a *pdf file that you might be able to read:

http://clos.net/get_patient_manual.htm

http://clos.net/patient-manual.pdf

You will need the Adobe Acrobat 4.0 reader program which is free.

to get the reader program also.

new manual - thoughts to Dr. R.

> Hi,

> I was able to print out half of it okay. I have no idea why it

> wouldn't print out the rest. Anyway.... Dr. Rutledge, I read

> through the online version this am and I had a few thoughts.

>

> 1. I was surprised that I did not see anything about the new pre-op

> meds requirements and how to get them from your pharmamcist. I would

> like to see that added.

>

> 2. Also, I was surprised that you are still prescribing Vioxx after

> surgery. Is your only concern with the presurgery dose and possible

> bleeding?? I thought we were not suppose to have it or Celebrex

> after surgery anymore.

>

> 3. With all the posts about new strategies for contacting and

> dealing with the office, I would love to see all these in one place

> in the manual or online. Like exactly how to mail and track the

> packet. How to know if your online form has been received in the

> database, when to write an email instead of calling, how to find out

> if your packet is accepted. Any other new procedures. I think it

> would really cut down on phone calls to the office.

>

> On a personal note, I wrote you an email, but since I am not sure

> when you will get to it, I will ask here as well. I am taking up to

> 600mg daily of Ultram as pain medication for foot neuropathy. It is

> a derivative of Opium. Do I need to stop it prior to surgery? I

> will need time to find a replacement that works somewhat or I will

> not be able to sleep. I will do what is necessary and do not want to

> risk surgery complications.
