maccapacca Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 A right to a second opinion involves a second opinion from the same speciality. In this case that would be another GP. For many conditions where pain is the presenting complaint a GP would be unlikely to refer to 2ry care unless the patient was compliant with basic analgesia.

maccapacca Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 You're making the assumption that any and every part of a GPs job could be done better and more efficiently by the at least one vareity of hospital based specialist. Many conditions and presentations never get anywhere near a hospital because they're managed appropriately in primary care. I object to the attitiude that a GP is someone you have to blag past to get to a real Dr in a big hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
