The awkward art of asking for a second medical opinion
Original: The sometimes-awkward art of asking for a second opinion
Patients are being reminded that requesting a second opinion from another doctor is normal and often wise, even though many feel awkward or fear offending their physician. Doctors themselves say a good practitioner welcomes the practice, and clearer guidance on how and when to seek another view could help patients make better-informed decisions about serious diagnoses and treatments.
Why now: Ongoing public interest in patient advocacy and navigating healthcare decisions.
