Entrance exam should be completed
It looks like we might be able to do this Friday (at least the MD and biopsy parts are scheduled), but need to know the time of day so the technicians can get the skin cells growing before taking off for the weekend. Also will need a consent form signature (after the test is done).
Thanks,
--Geo
Great news! How long will this process take? I could probably have Jeffrey to Harvard by 12:30 or so...Where does he need to meet your staff?
The location will be at MGH, 55 Fruit St Boston.

George, OK for Jeffrey to arrive below location at around 12:45pm?
12:45 or 1 PM should be fine. The physician who will take the samples at MGH is Joe Thakuria, MD (CC'd). Probably it will take one hour (including consent form signing). He can give you additional info as needed. —Geo
Thanks, George.
Hi Lesley, I don't have the specific exam room yet but this will be done somewhere on the main mgh campus, 55 Fruit St., Boston, MA at 1PM. I'll have specific details for you tomorrow at the latest. (There's always an exam room crunch when we try to squeeze people in - but we will find something. :)
Lesley, I think the best contact number to have in this case will be my cellphone, Reception at the hospital is not always the best so if some reason you don't get me right awa , ou'll definitely get me my pager. That back up number is the main mgh hospital hospital # Just ask the operator to page Dr. Thakuria (a)
Best,

Hi Lesley,
Sorry for not getting to this email earlier. Today was jam packed.

Assuming we're still on for this, plan to show at 1PM tomorrow at 6C (on the 6th floor) of the Yawkey building - which is the main out atient bldg sifting just in front of the main hospital (MGH 55 Fruit St.). When Jeffrey get there, just ask our medical genetics secretary (sifting on the left as you walk in, Sandy Massalski) to let me know your here.
My cell is . I can also be paged through the main hospital number :
.
Apologies again for not getting this info out to you sooner.
You may have mentioned this in a separate email but was the online enrollment process completed for Jeffrey?

Sorry, there was an extra "7" typo in my last email for my cellphone #.
Correct number is [REDACTED].
Best,

Thank you very much for the information and phone numbers. I'm sure all will go well. We did register Jeffrey on line. I am not sure how far along he is through the entrance exam portion. [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] can speak to him about it this morning

Lesley, thanks. Jeffrey needs to be fully enrolled before blood draw and skin biopsy per our protocol. Worst case scenario, I can try and walk him through it at mgh on a computer before the phlebotomy/bx.
But, ideally, this is done before he gets here at 1. I have a hard stop at 2pm so I'm worried we're gonna be pushing it on time if this isn't completed beforehand.
Thx,
Joe
