Should I seek a second opinion?

Has anyone had experience with getting a second opinion after an initial diagnosis?

  1. I’m a firm believer in second opinions and sometimes a third. If you get one , get it from a doctor who is not affiliated with your existing medical doctors or their computer system. That ensures a true second opinion.

    1. 100%!! I love how you said to be vocal in your healthcare. Self advocating is so important and helps you to have a say in your care plan!! -Kim (heart-failure.net team member)

    2. I agree, I did that and it was a totally different diagnose.
