Dr Kundu was surprised when I kissed his hand when he greeted me Thursday. The only reason that I didn’t kiss his feet was that I’m too old to get down and up quickly. The man saved my life, and did so with such skill and understanding that it is likely I will have a future in intimacy. Uh, what’s higher than ten ?

I realize now that my first meeting with Dr Kundu was overshadowed by my quite significant anxiety about having cancer. I was also trippin about my genitals being necessarily exposed in a room that included women. I ripped Dr Kundu in a previous assessment because I was beyond tense. I probably would have ripped St Francis too, given where my head was.

Disclosures

Shilajit D. Kundu, 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.
