Dr. R's info on getting Surgery Dates...

[Guest guest]

Hi. I went back to try to find that post from Dr. Rutledge about

putting surgery dates in the packet. I hav'nt yet found the one that

said " This is the proceedure " ...but here is one that says the same

thing. I'll post the other one when I find it. Dr. Rutledge has

posted on nearly all of the rules and regulations in past posts. I

read them occassionally just to remind myself of things that I need

to do.

When you send you package send in a list of possible surgery dates and

Debbie can email you a date.

If you have already sent in your package you can email Debbie a list

of

dates for her to send you back a date.

REMEMBER:

No Faxes. We now have 990 people in the database. We can no longer

do

faxes. I have instructed Debbie to discard incoming faxes that are

to go

into your packages.

Put everything in one envelope. Then mail it.

We are hiring a new person but Debbie can only spend so much time

retrieving

bits of peoples packages and filing.

Please help us. Put everything in one envelope.
