I didn't get the attachment.
I think it looks fine. Good work.
I have attached a revised edition-slightly- of the triage and see your own patient forms. If there is not a problem Morgan or someone could send them to officies

For those of you who aren't familiar with listserv emails, let me share a little. For those of you who are, just ignore this part. Save kcimt_mag@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to your contacts and when you want to talk to the Medical Advisory Group, just sent a message to this email address. If you receive a message from this, just reply to the email and it will go to everyone. It is kind of like a large email group that is managed by someone else.
The question is... We are thinking of using this matrix as a public education tool.
Any issues...
