I think most people can tell if they need a second opinion on any diagnosis from a doctor. Most doctors are hurried and see 1000s of patients with similar common problems and sometimes do not listen to their complaints, often because people can be very ignorant and full of misinformation. I think if a doctor listens and your problem is within their scope of practice you are fine 99.9% of the time. However, if they don't listen to you, are not <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-0><SPAN>familiar</SPAN></SPAN> with your medical issues, or are a worker's comp. doctor, you should get a second opinion. I think many worker's comp. doctors <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-1><SPAN>intentionally</SPAN></SPAN>
misdiagnose people so the insurance companies keep sending them more victims. </SPAN></div>

<DIV>Do you never get a second opinion when you go to the doc? All I can say is that on day-to-day stuff, probably not, but if its something huge and potentially life-altering, darn right I do, and there's a good chance I'm going to do some research of my own.<BR><BR>DC</DIV>
