HELP TALKS - Mr.Kishore Kuvawala on Laughter Therapy For Common Man
What if the Second Opinion differs from the First?
What course of action should the patient adopt if the second opinion differs from the first? Such a situation can be very confusing. Consequently, the patient needs to do a good deal more homework before making a decision. It would be worthwhile to get a family physician (preferably one who has no vested interest in the matter) to advise you. It would also be prudent to discuss the differences in the two opinions with the concerned doctors, so that they can explain and justify the reasons for the discrepancies in their diagnoses or plan of treatment. Remember that it's your body which has to bear the consequences and you need to make your own decisions intelligently. It would be highly sensible to ascertain your options in advance, rather than to burn your fingers and then regret your actions later on!

Dr.Malpani says:
I always encourage my patients to get a second opinion. As I explain to them: If two different doctors happen to reach the same conclusion, at least you know you are on the right track! However, don't always assume that just because the opinions of both doctors are identical, you are safe. For example, if you have angina and you consult a cardiac surgeon, there is a high likelihood that he will advise you to undergo bypass surgery. A second cardiac surgeon is also likely to recommend the same; after all, it's just simple financial common sense from the surgeons' viewpoint! Therefore, getting a second opinion from a non-surgical specialist (in this case, a cardiologist) can be helpful in preventing unnecessary surgery.

Consulting a second doctor individually
It may be difficult to get an unbiased opinion from a second doctor who is a member of the staff in the same hospital as your doctor. If at all possible, you should consult an independent doctor in another hospital for a second opinion. Most medical insurance policies that cover consultation fees will pay for this. In case of disagreement between two specialists, a third opinion could prove helpful. In the present age of the telecommunication revolution, the 'magic' of telemedicine enables one to get a second opinion from a leading medical authority in any part of the world. The procedure usually consists of sending such an authority your clinical findings and medical reports through the Internet, so that you can get an unbiased opinion usually in as short a period as two days. Many clinics in India now offer this service in collaboration with leading hospitals from all over the world.

Second Opinion: Needed for Patient or Gain for Doctor?
Often, many patients tend to become sceptical or dissatisfied if their doctor suggests that they seek a second opinion, because they feel that such a suggestion indicates that their doctor is not competent. However, one should not forget that medicine is a highly complex science in which rapid advances are the order of the day and it is not humanly possible for one doctor to keep abreast of all developments in all fields. Consequently, a second opinion proves very useful for those patients afflicted with rare or complex problems. Unfortunately, some doctors tend to refer patients unnecessarily to other members of their fraternity. Also, doctors will often cross refer patients to each other for personal financial gain. In hospitals, especially, specialist consultation is often automatic and mandatory, and this process is inevitably overused. The upshot is that the patients’ bill shoots up! Thus, a hospitalized patient should ask the family physician (who should act as your medical manager) to intervene if the number of specialists involved in the treatment seems excessive.
Tuesday, July 26, 2011
Second Opinion
At present, getting a second opinion has become a common practice among doctors; in fact, the American Medical Association advises that 'physicians should seek consultation upon request; and in doubtful or difficult cases'. That is why family physicians often consult with specialists, and specialists, in turn, consult other specialists - and superspecialists. (Sometimes, though, the process could be misused, and the patient may feel that he is stuck on a non-stop merry-go-round of consulting a wide variety of specialists!)

Raising a happy, healthy child is one of the most challenging jobs a parent can have - and one of the most rewarding.Good parenting involves lots of patience and concentration towards children by putting some effort with good strategy.
For your good parenting to materialize in your children, the first thing you should do is to gradually make your children feel, think or behave in the exact way that you want.Another method you can use in good parenting is your way of communication with your children. Be positive in your mode of speaking when talking to your children.
Patient Community Meeting - 9th July 2011 - How to research your medical problem
Dear Patient Community Members,
Following are points of discussion and url links of the video recording of The Patient Community @ HELP – Meeting held on 9th July, 2011
Patient Story: Mr.Hosi Daruwala shared his experience on helping poor and needy cancer patients. Funding for cancer treatment is a major constraint in getting good treatment. He explained the procedure needed to be followed when applying to charitable trusts. It is important that the patients receive timely help. Mr.Daruwala also gave tips on how to make wheat grass juice at home as he believes that wheat grass juice helps one’s system to cope with the high doses of medication.
The patient story session was followed by a presentation by HELP Library on How To Research Your Medical Problem. It was agreed by all that books are the best source of information for looking up your medical problems and a medical/health library are a great places to have access to encyclopedia and books. In addition to books, libraries and internet, the media like newspapers, television and radio channels can be important sources of information – especially for general health problems. For need-based information the internet has now become an important source of information. The members expressed concern on how can the poor have access to internet? The solution comes in the form of hospitals and doctors making an effort to provide evidence-based and researched information available on their website. Their patients can have access to information and at the same time the hospital derives good will for having been able to provide this information.
We also discussed how incorporating Information Prescription and a Patient Education Center in each hospital into the system of providing good quality treatment will go a long way in developing a healthy doctor-patient relationship.
We also discussed the importance of one’s doctor’s contribution in providing high quality treatment. This will always remain the best source of information – if only the doctors had more time !
