@bengalady I too would want to know why. I would definitely seek another opinion. I really don't think it matters if you tell the new doctor that you want another opinion, unless the new doctor is in the same medical facility or area as the other doctors. In that case, I think they often do not want to contradict colleagues.
I hope you get some answers. Have you made an appointment yet? I know, it tends to take forever to get an appointment with highly regarded doctors. I am waiting for an appointment with a doctor for my osteoporosis and it's not until January! He was booking in February but my transplant doctor put a word in for me. I am hoping I will get in sooner, I am on the waiting list.
