Second opinions -SOURCE: American Cancer Society, Yale-New Haven Hospital


Should you seek a second opinion? It might be a good idea if:

* You're having major surgery

* You want to be sure you have explored all options

* You think your doctor underestimates the seriousness of your illness

* You're having trouble communicating with your doctor

* You're not seeing your condition improve

* Your doctor doesn't know what is wrong with you

* You are diagnosed with a life-threatening condition

* You are told a second surgery is recommended

* You suffer from multiple medical problems

* Your insurance plan requires it
