So you see your doctor and they tell you some things that you don’t want to head. The information that you have a life threatening disease can really hurt you and your family. There is no doubt that the doctor made this in their best opinion and that they have a treatment idea in place. However, just because they tell you one thing doesn’t mean that it is the right opinion or that it is totally true. There are different versions to many diagnoses. So here is what you should be doing with your diagnonsis.
The number one thing to do is to talk to another doctor about your condition. Now, the foolish thing to do would be to go to the same doctor in the same practice or the same hospital. It’s not that a doctor would ever lie to you, but you always want an opinion with someone who won’t be afraid to say something the other doctor isn’t. What this means is that the guy who is in the same practice might not want to go against a fellow doctors opinion.
When you go to the second doctor make sure you are bringing along with you any medical records that you can as well as the results of any tests they took. You want them to have all the same information that the other doctor had so they can make the best choice possible. It’s always best to have a second opinion. It will keep you in line to get the right treatment for yourself.
