Second opinion /another opinion
From patients and relatives perspective the words like surgery, procedure, treatment invokes a strong emotional response in the form of anxiety, fear and apprehension.
The most important of all is
- Whether this treatment is really required for me?
- Am I being advised to have a treatment which is not in my best interest?
- Is this the only available treatment option?
- Am I being a victim of commercialisation of health care.
- Am I doing the right thing for my parents?

Since I started my medical practice almost 20 years ago, this has been my common observation. Especially, in our country where healthcare is perceived as a business. We’re always wondering if this is the right choice for me and my loved one.
Patient feels stressed out when he has to make decisions of great consequence with limited explanation and in a short period of time.
