Good bedside manner- very careful to make sure I understood aftercare instructions for my situation. But the scheduling staff were very slow to get back to me and did NOT give me aftercare instructions that I needed to know pre-procedure: I do swim lessons with kids, so knowing swimming restrictions matters. I prepay for gym classes so knowing exercise restrictions matters. I asked specifically and no one could tell me in advance.

Disclosures

April L. Szymanski, APRN 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.
