How do I get a 2ND opinion from a doctor?

Answer:
You go to a different doctor, bring your tests results if you have any, describe your symptoms, and see what that doctor's opinion is. Ask each one what they think of the other's opinion, and that should help you decide on your course of action.

No, they don't mind if you do this. It's *your* health, after all.

Generally, the best way to go about this is to simply thank your doctor and let him/her know that you would like to get a second opinion. If you're in an HMO, you might need to get a referral by your primary physician to visit another doctor for that opinion, but otherwise, you should simply be able to go to another doctor and get checked out.

If something comes up different, make sure to discuss that with the first doctor, or put the doctors in touch with eachother.
