i 3 i 4 definition for medical clinic. I guess I'll read it really quick. It means "an office building or group of offices for persons engaged in the practice of a medical or dental profession or occupation. A medical clinic does not have beds for overnight care of patients but can involve the treatment of outpatients. A medical profession or occupation is any activity involving the diagnosis, cure,treatment, mitigation or prevention of disease or which affects any bodily function, but does not include chiropractic and massage treatment and services." I might be r repeating what might have been said earlier but that's the reason why we don't elaborate too much in it because it is defined elsewhere. Just wanted to add that. Thank you. CARR SMITH: But it is, it is here Mike,just so you, it's on page 2,the bottom of page 2. VITOUSEK: Yeah, I, was that to me? CARR.SMITH: Sure, go ahead Mike. VITOUSEK: Oh, I wasn't sure if you're asking mei Mike, or Director Yee. CARR.SMITH: Oh sorry, sorry. Two Mike's. That's right.No,I was talking to Director Yee. VITOUSEK: Okay, thank you. CARR SMITH: What I came to realize that what he just said was in the background report on the bottom of page 2. Did you want to say something,Mike, or should I move to Max?Mike Vitousek. VITOUSEK: Sure, 1, 1,you know,to me, looking at it, we have this definition of a medical clinic but we are amending that definition right now,that's what we're doing and so if we are going to amend that medical, a definition of a medical clinic, I think that we should take the opportunity to remove any ambiguity about what could and couldn't be under the definition of medical clinic. And, you know, the definition that Jeff said as the implied definition being doctor's offices, nurse's offices, those kind of thing is the implied definition for what constitutes a medical clinic versus [inaudible] health services facilities, then I think we should just say that in the, in the definition so that there's no room for ambiguity. CARR.SMITH: But I think a lot of what, what the Department is trying to do, from my understanding, is to make the code, and the rules, and all these things jive. And so, if he, if the Director just said that this definition that's on the bottom of page 2 is what's in the code, then, then we want to change this?I'm not sure why we - - - VITOUSEK: - -VITOUSEK: This, this is the definition that's in the code, and this is the definition that they're proposing to revise with this action. CARR SMITH: Right. With just these two small underlined items. Right? Go ahead, Jeff. 8 EXHIBIT G
