Before many people buy a car, a television or a washing machine, they shop around for the best deal. Yet, when some of these people find themselves in a position in which a second medical opinion is a good idea — when facing a difficult operation, for example, — they are unwilling to go further. Sometimes it doesn’t matter. But sometimes it can lead to the wrong treatment, even death.
A number of psychological roadblocks get in the way of second medical opinions, but one of the most common is the fear of hurting the feelings of the doctors, and the possible result of that. People may think that in bringing up that they want to get a second opinion they’re questioning the doctor’s ability, so in the interest of not hurting the feeling of him they don’t suggest it.
Another reason people avoid getting a second opinion is fear of the second doctor giving them worse news than the first. Says Balyk: "You fear that if you go for, say, an ingrown toenail, he’ll tell you that the toe must come off. " The most important consideration is that it’s in your self interest to get another opinion — and it may not be worse.
Then, most people trust, even give great respect to their doctors, and regard them as with godlike qualities. So they trust their doctor is right, and don’t ask for a second opinion. In fact, it doesn’t even occur to them that they should. But you should remember that the doctor is a human being — just like you.
And sometimes, when people are sick, they become childlike. They put all types of good feelings onto the doctor and just let him take over. At other times, obtaining that second opinion just seems like too much work.
But remember, sometimes getting that second medical opinion can mean the difference between life and death.
From both the first and the last paragraphs we can infer that the author may want to suggest that______.
