Second Opinion

When in doubt, it is always good to get a second opinion so that you have an accurate diagnosis and know what the best treatment options are. A decent doctor will never get offended if you are willing to get a second opinion.

Ensure that you provide the exact details of your diagnosis and treatment to the doctor with whom you are seeking the second opinion. While consulting for a second opinion, keep the following information/reports ready:

• Copies of test reports and findings
• If you have a history of surgery, then a copy of the postoperative report
• The discharge summary, if you were hospitalized before
• A detailed summary of your current treatment regimen
• Details of your present medication and dosage schedule
