Same explanation as above I’m not sure who closed me up. I can only speak on the surgery itself was very successful, so I’m sure he did an excellent job. It’s the before and after things that I’m not happy with and the before and after lack of experience to put an IV in. All of the other incisions look normal like they should. I’ve had the surgery before, so I know what to expect, and I certainly wasn’t expecting an incision to put a big indentation in my stomach.

Disclosures

Alexander P. Nagle, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.

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.
