1. Dr Kenneth Lee

Generally, we prefer to work with Dr Ken Lee for shunts. He responds usually immediately to emails. 

Hello Dr. Lee, 

Dr Neurosurgeon is requesting your assistance with a VPS for a patient on DATE AND TIME AND OR#. 

Name: 

MRN: 

DOB: 

Clinical history:

Insert Blurb from TRAC including Age, Dx, procedures, etc. 

History of abdominopelvic surgery: this is the most important part of your email for them. Tell them if there is abdominal history or lackthereof (to your knowledge). 

We would appreciate your counsel on whether this patient would be an appropriate candidate for a VP shunt and if you are available to assist on INSERT DATE TIME AND OR#. 

Thank you,
