Second Opinions
It's Your Right
Many people still hesitate to ask for a second medical opinion
(though some insurance plans require it before they will cover
a treatment). You have a right to a second opinion, and it is
recommended medical practice. You need as much information as
possible to make an educated decision about your treatment. Today,
virtually all doctors will support your efforts to get another
viewpoint and learn more about your condition and all treatment
options.
When Second Opinions are Needed
A second opinion may confirm the original diagnosis and treatment
recommendations, or it may suggest alternatives. If the second
opinion does differ from the first, make sure you know why. You
should understand the reasoning behind a medical opinion.
