Medical Second Opinion - Research based studies

Two recent studies have shown that seeking a second medical opinion may result in changing the course of treatment; or getting a different diagnosis. In a University of Michigan study of breast cancer patients, more than 50% of them changed their treatment plan after getting a second opinion on their diagnosis from a “tumour board” of oncologists, surgeons and radiation therapists. In a Johns Hopkins University study of around 6,000 cancer patients, researchers found that one to two percent patients who sought a second opinion after a tumour biopsy had received a misdiagnosis.

When i consulted a psychiatrist with depression symptoms the doctor kept me on anti depressants and i put on so much weight, but there is no recovery. I have taken online psychiatrist second opinion at bestdoctor.com and the doctor advised me that the symptoms may mimic depression but they could be due to hypothyroidism and he recommended a blood test. Strangely he is right. Now working on my weight that i gained unnecessarily and the hypothyroid issue.

After my EUS with biopsy, I was diagnosed with esophageal tear 2.5mm at GE junction and we were really horrified to learn this and unable to sit calm.

When i had my routine tests, my cardiologist mentioned mild leaky valves. This team helped me to understand many things. Its always good to have a second opinion.

My right arm got weak and floppy and I could not move my leg where I wanted it to go. My doctor diagnosed it as spinal stenosis with cervical myelopathy. The surgeon’s treatment recommendation was a cervical spine fusion which is a major surgery involving a long hospital stay and several screws and plates in the neck. My daughter insisted me on getting a second opinion. I went online to request the second opinion. I submitted the case on bestdoctor.com with the needed reports and images. I got a second opinion report from an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spine cases which was very timely and helpful. The doctor confirmed the cervical spinal stenosis diagnosis, but did not see any evidence of the spinal compression that is indicative of cervical myelopathy. He indicated that surgery was not needed at that point in time. I was able to send two more follow-up questions which helped to further clarify his decision to delay the neck fusion. Also, my symptoms have continued to improve. The entire team couldn’t have been kinder or more understanding of my condition and helpful throughout the process.

I would like to thank the entire team for making this possible. You made it instant and affordable to get pulmonology second opinion online. Your medical second opinion online service is awesome! Great going Guys!
