My PCP Listened to my problems & concerns patiently. He explained to me what my labs results ment. He told me which results he was concerned about. He ordered more tests to find out why I suddenly got severely anemic . I was so glad that he ordered more tests . I found out what was causing my problem. I started a two week treatment that was aggressive . He encouraged me to stay with the treatment till the end. If I completed the program my percentage of successful treatment was 93%. I was very anxious & worried about how my body was reacting to this treatment that I needed. I called the after hours number because I was having chills, & my blood pressure was very high. I was afraid of having a stroke. An RN on call advised me to go to the nearest ER. I did go to ER. I sent a text to my physician to let him know about my concerns & why I went to ER. He set up an appointment with me with in two days . He examined me & listened patiently to my concerns. He took my concerns seriously. He ordered labs. The results did show I had a problem. He explained to me what I should do to deal with the problem.

Industry Relationships

University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.

UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
