Galveston County Daily News, Nov. 4, 2008 Dr. Michael Warren, in his weekly health care column, offers advice on obtaining a second opinion when your health and well-being are at stake. "Definitely get another opinion if treatment involves a risk or great expense; if there is some confusion in the diagnosis or when you do not understand your medical problem; when your physician admits he or she is unsure; or at any time you wish. You can ask your doctor to recommend someone. And don't be afraid he or she will only pick someone who agrees with him or her. Doctors know such an action would be unethical."
