Seek Second Opinions
03 Aug 2020
Your doctor is an important figure in your life. However, they should not be your be-all and end-all source of medical advice.
If you were renovating your house, you would probably get quotes from two or three contractors to make sure the one you choose fits your budget, timeline and quality expectations. Don’t show your house more respect than you show your health.
Before jumping at your doctor’s suggestions, especially for substantial medical procedures, consider consulting the expertise of others. Nutritionists, wellness coaches, or even other physicians are good places to start. It can never hurt to get someone else’s perspective.
