He takes the time to explain his diagnosis and he is not afraid to tell me when he is unsure of an absolute diagnosis. This is the nature of science and medicine. We’re always dealing in probabilities. He includes me in his search.

In my 30 years of dealing with this illness, he is the 2nd doctor that has actually called me up at home. I was very impressed with that. My local doctor who lives 4 miles from me has never talked to me on the phone it is always through a 3rd person. That is why she is no longer my primary doctor.

Disclosures

Mujahid M. Hussain, 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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
