Opinions on second opinions

From The Panel, 4:40 pm on 7 May 2019

A piece on Newsroom looks at second opinions in the medical world. Dr Lisa Sanders from the Yale School of Medicine explains that second opinions play an important role in medicine but the process is neither straightforward nor infallible and should be approached with caution.

We ask Dr Kate Baddock, Chair of NZMA and GP, about whether she thinks about patients seeking second opinions and what they should expect.
