Kaiser produced 13 VUCG images in August 2011:
#1 34/72 9:53:45 SAME AS #4
#2 36/72 9:53:53 SAME AS #3
#3 36/72 9:53:53 This is same as #2— Why two copies of the same X-ray? Two different sets must have been printed out.
#4 34/72 9:53:45 This is same as #1— with "SCOUT" label Why two copies of the same X-ray? Images must have been picked from TWO different sets that were printed out!
#5 36/62 10:00:35 SAME AS SMILEY #5
#6 34/46 10:04:35 NEW
#7 31/47 10:05:25 SAME AS #9
#8 29/50 10:05:31 SAME AS #12
#9 31/47 10:05:25 SAME AS #7 WITH “VOIDING” LABEL ADDED
#10 28/56 10:08:36 SAME AS #11 AND #13
#11 28/56 10:08:36 SAME AS #10 AND #13 Images must have been picked from THREE different sets that were printed out!
#12 29/50 10:05:31 SAME AS #8 WITH “VOIDING” LABEL ADDED
#13 28/56 10:08:36 "POST-VOID" SAME AS #10 AND #11 HEREIN SAME AS DAWN ROBERTSON #13

Part 1 of this bizarre story can be found here.
Dr. Marianne Rochester at Scripps Mercy asked Kaiser Permanente in San Diego to send
her Maura Larkins' VUCG images. What did she get? She got 13 images, all but two of
which turned out to be copies of other images in the set.
Kaiser gave her some images with a label changed, apparently to make her think she was
getting more images than she was actually getting, but in the case of #2 and #3, didn't
even bother to add a label (such as "scout" or "voiding").
There are even three different copies of one image! #10, #11, and #13 are identical
except that a label of "POST-VOID" has been added to #13.
Someone at Kaiser Permanente seems to have tried to pull the wool over the eyes of Dr.
Marianne Rochester. That person carefully choose 13 images, cherry-picked from at least
three different printouts, and sent them by courier to make Dr. Rochester think there was
nothing at all amiss with my VUCG. I know the images came from three different printouts
because images numbered #10, #11 and #13 are precisely the same image, marked with
the exact same time (10:08:36 June 15, 2011). One of them has the label "post-void"
added to it. Obviously Kaiser's story that these images were not originally digitized is
false, because you can't change the ordinal number label or the "scout", "voiding" or
"post-void" label on a thermal paper image. Images numbered #1 and #4 are also
identical, except only #4 has the "scout" label. Images #2 and #3 are identical; #9 is the
same as #7, except "voiding" label has been added; and #12 is the same as #8, except
"voiding" label has been added.
Who is responsible for this? April L. Moon is the Service Area Assistant Administrator
in charge of the Urology Department, but I suspect that Director of Service Dr. Andrew
Golden caused her to approve this odd maneuver.
