Remote second opinion - outside the USA
Hi! Does anyone know if remote second opinion an option for somebody abroad? A friend of mine from Romania contacted me regarding a 21 year old diagnosed with Leukemia. The family would like a second opinion from the United States. They have all the information reports and lab work in English available from the Romanian hospital.
Thank you!

Hello @katalinb and welcome to Mayo Connect. How very kind of you to be helping your friend in Romania.
If your friend would be interested in obtaining a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, here is a link to appointment information, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63. As she follows that link she can get more information about the types of appointments available for individuals who reside outside of the U.S. As you can see, there is a section in this appointment link that discusses international patients. If she calls she will probably be able to speak with someone who can assist her.

offers a free second opinion.
Most of the major hospitals offer second opinions; they can be costly.
Warm thoughts to you for reaching out for your friend.
