Dr. Bailey: You saved my life. I walked in with a swollen eyelid thinking my spring allergies were more intense than ever. You diagnosed the issue as Periorbital Cellulitis and ordered me to go to an ER to get IV antibiotics and explained the seriousness of the disease. After recovering from the shock, we went to Lake Forest Hospital where they assessed the issue, confirmed your diagnosis, and put me on some industrial strength antibiotics. Within 24 hrs, the swelling was down. Within 48 hours, my face was back to normal, and my vision restored. My wife and I cannot thank you enough for explaining the situation and allowing us time to understand what we needed to do. Your calm insistence saved the day for us. Thank you! [Patient's Name]

Disclosures

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.
