RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 01/24/18 > Incompetence abounds in my world…..
Oy... This is a troubling story indeed, and somehow not surprising... Makes me wonder if I should always be getting the opinion of multiple doctors. In this case it is clearly incompetence, but in other situations a second look could reveal something entirely different... Though you would think maybe they would distribute the weight of a diagnosis to begin with.
Like I told Denise in the above comment there are only three vet clinics in the Houston area that specialize in exotic pets so getting a second opinion isn't as easy as one would expect. As far as for a human second opinions are generally easier to get but be prepared for a lot of out of pocket expenses. Now it seems every doctor wants to run a whole battery of tests each time they see a patient for even the smallest thing and most insurance companies will only cover one set of tests, and most doctors won't except test results from other doctors tests that they had ordered. We have gone through that scenario plenty times in the past with the kids.
