Second opinions

Worth reminding-- A second opinion is worthless if the doc doing the
work knows who the original doc is. The first thing they do is call
the original doctor. Then you get the original diagnosis rewarmed.

The give away is when they are not sharp enough, to not use
phrases of the original doc.

The liability issue will not allow a really
new look.

Give them some phony name and insist it is correct. Then
act confused if they question you. If they question you, they
have called and will parrot the original doc.

Shades of the used car salesman.

Not back, but an important issue that just came up..

When I had a followup exam with an ENT to check if the "maybe something" on
the MRI really was there, he know very well who/where the MRI was --
upstairs in the same hospital. He *refused* to look at the report before he
looked at *me*. He made his own conclusions, then did look at the report but
it didn't change what he thought.

If you don't trust the doctor to give you an honest assessment, why are you
going there in the first place?
