Whether we’re talking about venturing into a new business, or looking for the best school for our kids… we tend to get somebody else opinion. It is often said: Two heads are better then One! The same is true for anybody’s health. Seeking another doctor’s opinion should not be hard at all. The problems lies when your doctor gets disappointed because you did not trust his diagnosis nor his management. But the truth is… as true to our professional ethics… we value a second opinion and I encourage it! If your physician gets angry because you sought somebody else idea then obviously he has something to hide and is unsure of what your problem is and what to do with it. Then you definitely need another professional help!
I see a lot of patients coming to see me because they want a second opinion. So I thought of sharing with you this nice compilation of reasons why you need to seek another opinion …tips fron the Washington University School of Medicine:
- If your doctor has recommended surgery.
- If your doctor’s diagnosis or recommendation doesn’t sound credible to you.
- If your doctor diagnoses you with a condition that’s life-threatening.
- If your doctor recommends an invasive procedure, when a less complicated procedure maybe available.
- If you’ve been prescribed long-term medication.
- If you’re not comfortable with the meds given.
- If the medication is not making you feel better and
- If your doctor can’t make a diagnosis.
Simple tips to help you decide whether or not to seek another doctor’s help or recommendation. You can always go back to your primary doctor to make the final recommendation. In fact if a patient seeks a second opinion, and he sees me back…it does not mean he trusts me less but rather now his trust for me gets better!

Bush goes ballistic about other countries being evil and dangerous, because they have weapons of mass destruction. But, he insists on building up even a more deadly supply of nuclear arms right here in the US. What do you think? How does that work in a democracy again? How does being more threatening make us more likeable?Isn’t the country with
the most weapons the biggest threat to the rest of the world? When one country is the biggest threat to the rest of the world, isn’t that likely to be the most hated country?
If ever there was ever a time in our nation’s history that called for a change, this is it!
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren’t living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.

About 5 years ago, I was admitted to a hospital due to a bad pneumonia. During the routine, the doctors found out I had a mass at my adrenal. The surgeon right away thought it was life threatening that he ordered that I needed to go through knife asap – as in like, they found out the lump in the morning, he wanted me to go through the process midnight. It was my first time and I was so afraid until my pulmonary doctor said no because my pneumonia has to be healed first. Oh I’m so grateful for that doctor. Six days after, my pneumonia was healed but I still have my asthma. The surgeon kept coming back to check if my lung problem was already OK. Finally, I was released from the hospital because I can already rest at home with my take home medicines of asthma. Then that was the time I was given a chance to have second, third, fourth opinions. The lump was not life threatening at all… Oh what a relief! The fact of the matter is, second opinion matters! Thanks for this site. I like the blogs. I have bookmark it already. Have a great day Doc!
