Industry Relationships
Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.
As of 9/18/2017, Dr. Hussain has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic.

Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients. Interactions with industry are essential to bringing the researchers' discoveries to the public, but can present the potential for conflicts of interest related to their research activities. Click here to view a listing of instances where Cleveland Clinic has identified a Public Health Service (PHS)-Reportable Financial Conflict of Interest and has put measures in place to ensure that, to the extent possible, the design, conduct and reporting of the research is free from bias.

Dr Hussain is great
Reviewed on Jan 15, 2018
after 10 Days, I still have not received results through his office. the dr. requested a CD be sent, by me immediately following the CT scan, which I did. it arrived at the address he provided within 3 Days. when I emailed the office, the nurse responded saying images take 2-3 weeks. I reminded her, by email, that the CD was in their office and I also wanted to know the results of my EEG. she responded that she'd try to find that. I still haven't heard. there is no follow up appt. scheduled so I'm not certain how I'll get the results and diagnosis.

Dr. Hussain literally saved my life. I will always be in debt for his care and treatment of me. The work that he did, as well as Dr. Bain, is why I am alive and kicking. Words will never express the gratitude I have for Dr. Hussain. The Clinic should do all it can to make sure that he becomes a cornerstone of its operations in terms of the issues that people like me face. I have been told that my medical issues were "one in a million", especially with what happened in 2015. I am still here, alive and kicking, as a husband, father, and lawyer. It is quite a remarkable story and I owe a debt of gratitude to the Dr. Hussian and the Clinic.
