Review of records: In general, the results of tests that you had done should be available to you, and you can take them to another doctor for review. Don't assume that the 2nd opinion doctor will have access to the tests unless you bring them. It is valuable to get not only the written report on paper but also for some tests the images themselves, usually on a CD. Only by seeing the data can a 2d opinion doctor help
