From the President of the Board of Trustees:
Greetings fellow members,
It was a pleasure serving as a committee chair at the recent Washington State Medical Association Annual Meeting and seeing all of the hard work of our delegates and staff come to fruition. With all but one of our resolutions passing overwhelmingly, the King County Medical Society made a tremendous impact on the policy directives emerging from the conference.
I received numerous compliments about the increased activity and visibility of our organization, which was extremely gratifying knowing all that has gone into elevating the King County Medical Society this year.
I am excited by the renewed vigor of our membership, and encourage all of you to get more involved in your Society. We’d love to have you apply to serve as a delegate or join one of our committees as we begin laying the groundwork for 2019. Your voice is critical in shaping our policy directions going forward.
I also encourage you to take part in one of our upcoming educational or social opportunities. We recently hosted nearly 30 physicians for a CME on opioid issues and the new regulations going into effect January 1st. We are grateful to our partners at MedPro for underwriting the event and providing not only important information but also a fabulous meal. I encourage you to contact our agent Randy Flem (rflem@pacificunderwriters.com) and learn how they can help save 5% or more on your malpractice insurance – which can mean thousands of dollars in savings!
I also want welcome all of our new members and look forward to serving you in the coming year. I am especially grateful to our colleague and trustee Ellen Passloff, MD, for facilitating the addition of 35 fellow physicians from the Everett Clinic to our Society. The more members we add to our ranks, the more powerful and effective we can be in our advocacy efforts, and the more exclusive benefits our dedicated staff can curate on your behalf.
Best,
Teresa Girolami, MD
President/King County Medical Society
Board of Trustees

DOH reports first influenza deaths of season
The Washington State Department of Health reports two influenza related deaths have been reported already for the 2018-2019 season. And two influenza-like illness outbreaks in long term care facilities have been reported for the 2018-2019 season to date. Needless to say, it’s that time of year to encourage patients, family and friends to to get their flu shots.
Board president Dr. Teresa Girolami recently appeared on Seattle’s Morning News with Dave Ross and Colleen O’Brien on KIRO Radio 97.3 FM to discuss last year’s deadly outbreak, the efficacy of vaccine and to dispel myths about vaccinations.

From the CEO/Executive Director:
Happy November,
I am excited to celebrate my upcoming one-year anniversary as CEO of King County Medical Society! I have focused my first-year efforts on identifying how to best serve our members. I am grateful for a job that provides me with the opportunity to serve you, and for all your selfless service to our communities.
Whether you are a medical student, active physician or retired, there appears to be specific areas of service that King County Medical Society should focus on. The first area is physician wellness.
We recently shared with you that we lost a beloved member physician to suicide. Sadly, this is far from an isolated incident. Physicians and medical students continue to experience the highest levels of depression and suicide of any profession. With this in mind, the King County Medical Society is reinforcing its commitment to support the well-being of all physicians and medical students.
Our Director of Marketing and Communications, Josh Kerns, has forged an ongoing partnership with Forefront Suicide Prevention, a center of excellence in the University of Washington (UW) School of Social Work. I encourage you to listen to his heart-wrenching interview with founder Jennifer Stuber and Dr. Anna Ratzliff, MD, PhD, an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the UW. They provided tremendous insights on how to best care for ourselves, patients, colleagues and friends. You can stream or download this special edition of “Docs Talk – The King County Medical Society Podcast” here.
Josh also attended a powerful screening last week of a new documentary film focused on physician suicide titled “Do No Harm: Exposing the Hippocratic Hoax”. You can see the heart wrenching trailer at the website.
King County Medical Society member Dr. John Wynn, MD, was a panelist during a frank, often-emotional post-screening discussion.
As part of our commitment to you and your well-being, we will be working with filmmaker Robyn Symon to host another screening of the film very soon (it debuts on PBS and will be widely available next spring).
Our Public and Mental Health Committee will be meeting this month to focus on physician wellness and what the Society can do to improve working conditions and quality of life for doctors and medical students alike. If you have any suggestions, comments, or questions, or would like to get involved, please contact me at nbelcher@kcmsociety.org .
Another area of focus for King County Medical Society includes fostering a strong sense of community within the medical profession, regardless of your workplace. We aim to do so by providing special member events and benefits. My team has been working hard to create a plethora of benefits and events for members. Those benefits include discounted tickets for the PNB’s Nutcracker and Enchant Seattle – the thrilling new holiday light spectacular taking place during the holidays at Safeco Field.
Continuing Medical Education is another area that physician members have identified as a need. We were thrilled to host the first of what will become regular CME’s recently at the Society building. We have partnered with the Washington Medical Commission and MedPro to provide you with the latest information and guidance on the new opioid prescribing rules and regulations going into effect January 1. The demand was overwhelming, so we have scheduled another session Monday, December 10. It will be held in the Volney Richmond auditorium at Virginia Mason at 6p.
Our newest Society members include the Medical Student Chapter. Last week some of our staff handed-out bags of coffee beans provided by our partners at Beanbox at the UW School of Medicine and began engaging with nearly 100 students. Check out Beanbox’s fabulous holiday specials only for King County Medical Society members.
In the coming months we will hold special events for the medical students, including a financial wellness/reality check featuring some of our resident members and banking partners. We are also thrilled to connect them with mentors from among our membership and continue curating special benefits targeted to them. Please let me know if you are interested in mentoring opportunities.
We are also working hard to better engage with our retired members. We value that retired physicians offer a wealth of knowledge and experience and have devoted their entire lives to the house of medicine. In return, we are aggressively curating exclusive benefits and creating new events and other social and professional opportunities for retired members to participate in the Society and to commune with one another. While we have instituted a nominal membership fee for the retired physicians, we are confident the value and benefits will be more than worth it for our retired members. For those who still favor print over online, we are glad to print out a copy of our monthly newsletter and send it to you. Please contact Sarah Rice rices@kcmsociety.org or 206-621-9396 x102 to request yours
Lastly, we are working tirelessly and have begun discussions about how we can increase the efficacy of our advocacy efforts. In addition to our work with the WSMA, we will be performing far more direct outreach to our law and policy makers at the local and state level on those issues of greatest urgency and importance to our members.
Everything we do at the King County Medical Society is in service to you, our venerated member physicians. As we grow our membership and influence, we have big plans of how best to serve you in the coming years. Whether you are a medical student, active physician or retired doctor I encourage you to drop me a line or give me a call and let me know how we can better serve and engage with you.
Sincerely,
Nancy L. Belcher, MPA, Ph.D.

A Patient’s Plea: What Happens When Your Doctor Dies?
By Josh Kerns/King County Medical Society
As a physician, are you prepared for the unexpected? One patient recently contacted us about her frustrations when her family physician suddenly died, and the maddening ordeal that followed. While her story doesn’t end well, she reached out in hopes other medical practices will learn from her experience and prepare accordingly.
She (a longtime Seattle resident and commercial real estate broker, asked to keep her identity anonymous out of fear of reprisal) learned of the untimely death of her Seattle-based doctor when she phoned his office to schedule an appointment for her son.
“When I was told the office was closing, I thought they meant for the day,” she says. “No, it was closing for good because of the doctor’s untimely death.”
She asked for her family’s medical records, and says she was especially concerned about one of her son’s records because he had an ongoing liver issue.
The office told her all medical records for the office (Northwest Family Care) were being sent to Northwest Hospital.
“I was told that is a statutory procedure for closing a medical office,” she says.
The following month she requested all of the records from Northwest Hospital. But she was told they were never sent. She continued to follow up with Northwest to no avail.
The following spring, she again sought the family medical records, especially for her son who needed them as part of his admission process to graduate school.
“My husband hand carried the signed request forms to Northwest Hospital and said he would not leave without the records, in particular my son’s,” she says.
The hospital would not provide them. A few days later, he finally got one of her son’s records after another visit and a long wait at Northwest Hospital.
After another visit, he was finally able to track medical records for him and his wife. But not their older son.
After further investigation, she learned her older son’s records had never been sent to Northwest.
“Northwest Hospital said that because he had not seen the now-deceased doctor within one year of the medical practice closing down, his records were never sent to Northwest Hospital,” she says in exasperation.
She says her husband was told all the older records from the doctor’s practice were sent to his son, also a medical doctor.
But the frustrations only grew from there.
She found the son in Spokane and sent a letter to what she was told was his practice. However, she received a letter several weeks later informing her the doctor no longer practiced in Spokane, the office had none of his records and had no forwarding address.
“Really, no forwarding address?!” she says.
After extensive searching on the Internet, she eventually tracked down the son in Anchorage, AK, and sent him a letter asking for her son’s records.
After several months and multiple inquiries, she finally got the response she was dreading.
“I got a curt note stating simply that there is no statutory requirement to maintain the records and they are no longer available,” she sighs. “So 25 years of my son’s medical history, from his birth in 1992 to the death of his doctor, are gone.”
While she’s resigned herself to the loss of the records, she says she reached out the King County Medical Society in hopes the same thing doesn’t happen someone else. She’s urging other physicians to consider what happens to their records when they leave practice for whatever reason – especially an unexpected incident. And she’s calling for state lawmakers to change the statutes regarding the permanent storage of medical records – at least digitally.
“What’s most galling is when a surveyor goes out of business, their records are sent to the state. I can find land-use records from 1920. But I can’t find medical records from 2001? That’s absurd,” she says.
====================================================================================================================================
PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: BEAN BOX
Vote NO on crappy coffee
We all know that coffee is the life blood of doctors and medical students. But when it comes to coffee at the office or hospital, let’s face it: most of it is just okay to downright awful. Good news: thanks to our partners at Bean Box, you can have the finest, freshest coffee from the best roasters in our region delivered to your home or office almost immediately after it’s been roasted. Even better, Bean Box is offering a special 10% discount exclusively to King County Medical Society members for coffee subscriptions.
Bean Box is a Seattle-based company that works with nearly three dozen of the best artisan coffee roasters from the Puget Sound region and Oregon, hand packaging the special offerings and sending them out from their Capitol Hill plant a mere hours after the freshly roasted beans arrive. “We focus on the flavors,” said co-founder Ryan Fritzky as I visited the bustling coffee collective recently, delicious smells abounding throughout.
You’d expect plenty of snobbery from such coffee connoisseurs. But whether it’s on each lovingly labeled bag of beans or their website, you don’t get snooty, technical coffee terms and a whole bunch of attitude. Instead, you get simple flavor descriptions include things like chocolate, cherry, butterscotch and many more, along with an easy to understand roast scale that ranges from light to dark.
For those who’ve never tasted so many flavors in their usual cup of Joe, Ryan says it’s because far too many people are drinking stale or bad coffee.
“Coffee is actually far more flavorful and complex than wine. From a technical standpoint, wine has about 700 flavonoids, while coffee has over 2500. It’s got so much more range and flavor,” he said.
I could certainly taste mouthfuls of flavors from chocolate to orange as Ryan poured me several freshly ground and brewed samples during my recent visit to Bean Box headquarters. Freshness is the key. Ryan says beans go stale in just a couple of weeks, and then begin to pick up a chemical-like flavor. And he says it should only be ground right before brewing, because ground coffee goes bad even quicker. That’s why their small packing plant is always abuzz with roasters delivering their freshly roasted beans throughout the week, while workers speedily pack up orders to send all over the country on their specially designed machines that guarantee freshness.
Bean Box has a variety of offerings that are perfect for coffee lovers, whether for yourself or as a gift. They range from monthly subscriptions to world tours featuring 16 different coffees from small batch roasters curated from top coffee producers from around the world.
“You can really get a sense of the difference between a spicy, herbal Indonesian coffee and a chocolaty, nutty Latin American coffee and a fruity, tea-like African coffee. It’s so fun and it really gives you a sense of how each coffee region varies.”
Bean Box also offers special gift boxes that pair exquisite, small-batch chocolates from a top Seattle chocolatier with perfectly matched coffees to bring out the best flavors in both.
And this year they are debuting a limited-edition “Top Shelf Collection Box”. It features four extremely rare and unique coffees from around the world, including a prized Geisha varietal, Jamaica Blue Mountain selection, a 90+ point Ethiopian lot, and a barrel-aged Latin roast.
“It’s a collaboration between a Pinot Noir grower in Oregon and a roaster. For three months they age the green beans in an oak barrel. It gives the coffee these unique flavors you wouldn’t get from the origin or the roasting process alone. We’ve spent a long time searching for the right coffee for this box and we’re really excited about this,” he said beaming.
The Top Shelf Collection comes with an extravagant hard-top box and a booklet detailing each coffee farm, roasting process, flavor profile and roaster notes. Pre-orders are available now, and only 500 will be made when each of the roasters produce a single lot in early December.
But whether it’s a rare, once-a-year offering or a tried and true favorite from one of our area’s top roasters, Bean Box is guaranteed to brighten up your morning cup.
“That’s what we are all about. Putting together an experience in every box so people can really share the joy we get from coffee every day,” Ryan gushed as he poured me another cup.
And as for the lack of pretense that so many other coffee purveyors embody?
“I think being too snobby is a crime that has been inhibiting a lot of people’s enjoyment. Wine and Beer has gotten a lot simpler and less pretentious, so why not coffee?”
The King County Medical Society is grateful to our partners at Bean Box for offering our members 10% off any Bean Box subscription plan. To take advantage of this generous offer, just visit https://beanbox.co/kcmsociety . Because life’s too short (and our workdays too long) to drink crappy coffee.

Dr. Lindeman attended Cass Technical High School in Detroit, followed by undergraduate college at Wayne State University. He then attended Wayne State University School of Medicine. On August 22, 1958, he married his grade school friend and long time sweetheart, Lillian J. Kashmerick.
He then served his internship at the University of Colorado Medical Center – Denver General Hospital, followed by a year of general surgery training at St. Joseph Hospital, also in Denver. Then, residency in otolaryngology at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston, where he also served as a teaching fellow in otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School.
Following completion of his residency in 1965, he served for two years in the United States Army, having been drafted for military service during the Viet Nam War. As a captain in the army, he was appointed Chief of Otolaryngology at Valley Forge General Hospital Pennsylvania, and consultant to the surgeon general of the United States.
Upon completion of his military service, he and his family moved to Seattle, WA to join the Mason Clinic and the Virginia Mason Medical Center in 1968. He soon developed a reputation for excellence and innovation in otolaryngologic surgery. His passion for research led to the development of tracheal diversion technique which became known nationally as the Lindeman procedure. As time went on, his main surgical focus became disorders of the ear and hearing. He was a pioneer in the Pacific Northwest in the otologic surgical approach for the excision of acoustic tumors. He was appointed Clinical Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Washington, and received Teacher of the Year award from that institution.
At Virginia Mason, he gradually assumed an administrative role, becoming Head of the section of Otolaryngology in 1973, then Chief of Surgery in 1976. In 1980, he was elected Chairman of the Mason Clinic, a position which soon became Chairman and CEO of the Virginia Mason Medical Center. He served in this capacity until his retirement in 2000. During his tenure as Chairman and CEO, Virginia Mason grew significantly in physicians and staff, as well as in physical facilities both at the downtown Seattle campus and in satellite locations. More importantly, Dr. Lindeman will be remembered for his unrelenting emphasis on top quality care for patients.
He was very active in national medical administrative organizations, and served as President of the American Medial Group Association 1988-1989, and President of the American College of Physician Executives 1990 – 1991. He received the Medical Executive of the Year Award in 1990 from the American College of Medical Group Administrators. Upon his retirement from Virginia Mason, a building on the downtown campus, the Lindeman Pavilion, was named in his honor.
In his free time, Dr. Lindeman was an accomplished golfer and taught all of his children and grandchildren to play. He loved learning about the sport and was always eager to improve his game.
He is survived by Lillian, his wife of 60 years, three children (Lauren Lindeman, Brian Lindeman, and Kevin Lindeman), and by three grandsons (Jason, Erik, and Scott Lindeman).
A Celebration of Life was held on Sunday, November 18, 2018, at 2:00 pm, at Virginia Mason, Lindeman Pavilion 1st Floor – Volney Auditorium, 1201 Terry Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101
