The surgery went well, but I felt so rushed. I had so many post-op questions that I didn’t get a chance to ask. I had to wait an hour and a half after my surgery time and didn’t receive any printed out instructions or details. It felt very casual and like my time there didn’t matter. I also had some concerns with my pain and swelling so I sent two messages to my doctor and tried calling with high urgency. But I didn’t hear back all day and felt so clueless about what to do to feel better and heal.

Disclosures

Preeti J. Thyparampil, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
