REQUEST 2nd
Opinion |
|
|
Why is it that when you automobile has failing brakes,
you'll take it to 3 repair shops and get another 4 estimates
before beginning work, yet we often allow only one
opinion for our medical care. Medicine is as much
an art as it is a science and quality of care can vary
greatly. Empowered Patients demand to have a second opinion
when faced with major medical decisions. PRINT-OUT
a copy of our Patients Are Powerful "Get a Second
Opinion" Sample Letter... use it as a guide to
write your own. Although most states have laws allowing
second opinions, a brief, well stated letter will be effective
in moving the process along. Final Note: ensure your second
opinion comes from someone outside the medical group……this
way you'll be sure to get a more objective second opinion.
