Red face Opinions

This is a problem sometimes. I think it is up to us to keep pushing until we get second and even third opinions. We need to be proactive and assertive. Most of the time docs want to do the "standard" care backed up by some research, but if we read about something else we want to know about it is our right to find a way to get the information we want. It is also our right to refuse the "standard" care, but we must also be willing to take responsibility for our decisions. It is a tough call.
