Should i get a second opinion if my gi tells me i am going to need a liver transplant? he seems to get offended if i "question his diagnosis"

Most certainly : When it come to your help, physician should be up front, honest, and clear as much as possible. If your concern and worry can't be address by a physician, please get advise from others.

from a transplnt ctr: Your doctor's personality issues aside, unless he is a transplant hepatologist you'll have to get a second opinion- from a doctor at a transplant center. The decision whether a person should undergo liver transplantation is complex and ultimately can only be made by the transplant team.
