See above comments. I appreciate her advice but feel “ partitioned”. I’m 1 person, 1 body. It seems to be the NWM way though, so I can’t blame the Dr. I was surprised she had no comments or knowledge or opinion about the major ingredients in the herbal Txs recommended by my NORTHSHORE Integrative Health MD to help calm the GI tract. Who better to know the bigger picture of Tx options?

Dr. Baumann made a good impression overall. I was still pretty sedated when she explained the findings right after the procedure in the procedure room. The written discharge instructions with images from the procedure were very helpful. She sent me the pathology report of the resected tissues along with an explanation, and a recommended timeframe for the next colonoscopy in a very timely fashion. Procedure was on a Friday, and the report was sent to me by Monday evening. This was very efficient.

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.
