There isn’t a doctor who knows everything, which is why patients can seek a second opinion if they consult a doctor who realises he is not familiar with the problem, and refers them to a specialist, said Dr Soh Jian Yi from NUS Medicine’s Department of Paediatrics in a commentary.

However, patients should not get a second opinion just to prove that they are right, especially when different doctors point to a similar diagnosis.
