Isn't this scary?
Question:
Answer:
"The Art of Medicine" is a cliche for a reason.
Seriously, I got a second opinion on a diagnosis from my veterinarian a couple of years ago. The first vet recommended surgery totalling over $6,000, and said it was imperative that we do it. The second vet agreed that surgery was needed, but not the exact same surgery, and the expected cost was $700.
The first vet drove a BMW, and the second one drove a Honda. We had the surgery with the Honda-driving vet, and our cat is fine now.
So my advice... Get a third opinion and take a walk around each of their parking lots. Good luck!
yes very scary !
Well you need to somehow get doctor B to talk to doctor A about the situation, so they can decide what best for you, without two separate opinions.
this is a typical example of seeking second openion regarding a surgery.
the risk of your vision getting worse is present with either technique. the second surgeon may simply have been trying to persuade you to go with the laser technique for other reasons- maybe he charges more for it, or maybe he's not that good at the standard technique.
