I was immediatley at ease with Dr. Lung, and the assistants I saw prior to and immediatly after seeing Dr. Lung. While I have no way of knowing, I felt that he was well informed of my PET scan, and he was straightforward when explaining the scan results without being curt or condescending. That doesn't mean I'm not nervous; but I get the distinct impression that he is invested in the wellness of us who entrust ourselves to him .

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.
