Second Opinion
A second opinion may clarify things
Or possibly cause some confusion,
For doctors who do not agree will, no doubt,
Arrive at a different conclusion.
A patient must therefore decide who to trust
And to follow that recommendation,
Though when two so-called “experts” have differing views,
It makes sense to feel some hesitation.
It’s better, I guess, to have choices to make
And some down time before a decision,
For it helps to feel good with the doctor you choose
Way before you’re prepped for an incision.
