I was treated in a condescending manner. I have had 4 concussions, a TBI, and have ADHD. When I asked the doctor a question, his response was “I just spent 5 minutes explaining this”…I asked about the pain in the back part of my knee, and he said “that’s part of your hamstring”…He didn’t really make any recommendations for treatment. He said here’s your options and left it up to me to decide. He didn’t even numb/freeze my knee entirely for the injection in my right knee. He gave me a referral for PT, and said do what you want, it’s only a piece of paper.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
