I'm glad I got a second opinion on my neck lump. First doctor said allergies - it was thyroid cancer

I feel like we can’t do this in Canada… our family doctors are the gatekeepers to all other specialists.. unless you go through ERs . But it’s not always an emergency. So you’re stuck with what your GP says

I was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari Malformation type 1. The neurologist I saw said it wasn't causing my symptoms. I asked my provider to send me to a neurosurgeon. He refused and suggested I seek hypnosis because it was all in my head. Thankfully he was fired. Then that clinic sent me where I wanted to go. I ended up with a brain herniation of 8mm and csf almost fully blocked. I had brain decompression surgery a month later.

It’s good to see a MD advocate for their patients care and comfort and not be stuck in their own ego. That makes a doctor 100% more trustworthy in my opinion!

my daughters lung doctor ran many tests and procedures to help figure out her problems. I love him for the fact that after all he did he pulled us aside and said ive exhausted everything I know how to do. I dont want to give you the wrong diagnosis. you should get a second opinion and if you want I can call colleges and help find someone comfortable moving forward. we still see him because of the willingness to do that and the honesty. he even read up on her diagnosis she did eventually receive so he can help.manage closer to home.

I got a second opinion and the second doctor said exactly the same thing. Still definitely worth it because it put my mind at ease and gave me confidence in the treatment plan

I had to get a 2nd opinion & found out I wasn’t crazy for 2 years! This neurologist listened to me & diagnosed me with trigeminal neuralgia. I’ve been lucky, so far, medication has been helping!

It’s amazing how offended some providers get when you tell them you want to get a second opinion. It’s so sad and harmful when their ego’s get in the way. We’ve learned the good Dr’s are the ones who encourage a 2nd opinion.

It took two second opinions to diagnose my then 3 week old child. The first doctor said it was only noisy breathing, the second said my newborn was “having a fit” The third was a former respiratory therapist who diagnosed him with Larygomalacia and had us transferred to a childrens hospital where he ended up getting surgery. I trust that last doctor with my life and my childs. She is a damn hero and Im so mad that we had to go through all that because we were being dismissed so much.

And if they are two totally different opinions, try a third opinion.

One of my doctors was attending a conference the following day at the UN. He presented my case to others in his field and they all agreed with him. Was a really perfect way to get a second opinion.

Demanding a second opinion saved my sons life when he had a clot in his femoral artery following OHS. First provider was adamant that he was just cold. His foot was nearly black. I said “it’s interesting only one foot is cold huh” then pushed for a second opinion and US before agreeing to discharge. We ended up staying an additional two weeks.

How do you get a second opinion? When you need your primary doctor to give you a referral. If he already gave you a referral to let’s say a rheumatologist. Would he give you a
