> > I'm deliberately not going to the pdoc he recommended b/c I am trying to cut down on the potential of them discussing me. You'd think I'd want them to so I could have a team working on this, but I'm just not comfortable with that at all. I guess I am also intellectually curious what a true second opinion will be like.
Actually, if you don't give permission for them to confer, in writing, they would be violating HIPAA laws if they did. Same holds for whomever you end up seeing.
Interesting, my new pdoc showed absolutely no interest in conferring with my T. You would think that someone who has known me for a year would be able to provide valuable outside observations about my symptom presentation, but I guess she does not feel she needs that.
Good luck!
