Second Consultation / Second opinion

Second Consultation or Second opinions can offer valuable information. Second opinions are a common practice in any area of medicine that is complex and that has multiple treatment options available. Your doctor should not be offended if you want a second opinion. In fact, many physicians routinely provide this kind of advice, especially in the world of surgery, cancer & complex medical treatment. It should always be considered after a diagnosis of serious illness or after recommendation for recommendation for surgery. These decisions can have major consequences on your future health. If you get conflicting information, you may need a third opinion. A second opinion provides the opportunity to get information from someone other than the physician who will be directing treatment, which is usually the main source of information. The more you can learn about your diagnosis and your treatment options, the better chance you have of receiving the most appropriate treatment. Second opinions are more likely to be comprehensive, or inclusive of every possible perspective

The consultant who will be giving second opinion will review the following:
              • Case Summary
              • Diagnostic Reports
              • The extent of disease
And he will advise you the proposed line of treatment.
