Susan Galanes contributed so little to our meeting that felt a phone call could have sufficed. She opened my carrying case, to see if I was using the same mask I had previously used. Confirmed. Asked me how I liked the new machine and I explained why I liked the last one better. I was told to call Apria to express my concerns. When I did complain that the CPAP’s pressure seemed too high she arranged to reset the machine lower. That was it. Felt like the visit was unnecessary, knowing that I’m scheduled to see the doctor in sixty days.

Disclosures

Susan E. Galanes, 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.
