He asked you first how you’re doing and if your pain is good or bad and he chose the bed better exercise feel better He’s making sure that you’re not in pain and if the pain worse than he will choose another exercise to make you feel better. He also asked you do you feel like continuing he doesn’t make me do something that I can’t because I’m in pain so that really counts and I do like him. Thank you for letting him do my therapy to.

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.
