A member asked:
Do dr's usually view 2nd opinions as a slap in the face..and would then prefer not to treat the patient if he/she returns...such as psychs/cardiologis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ego: You are your best advocate and a second opinion is often in your best interest. If the doctor has a problem with that, it may be just a matter of ego. Some doctors may experience this as a rejection, but best to look at it as possibly a helpful consultation for the benefit of the patient.
