She’s not understanding to people situations. We made a last-minute appointment today . My son had an injury. close to the actual appointment time and we were few minutes late and it wasn’t communicated to us that the other patient was going to get taken care of before us due to us being late. Which made our appointment last over an hour and a half and we had other commitments. Just like doctor wants her time respected and followed, so do I as a patient. We all have other commitments and busy schedules.

Disclosures

Allison Marie Schnitzler, 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.
