Do you get a 3rd opinion and go with the consensus? Genuinely curious what people think.

Between November 2024 and January 2025, I visited liver surgeons at 4 different hospitals in 4 different states and got 3 different opinions on what was the correct next step for my cancer treatment.

I don’t regret it.

I broke my leg at the edge of the Fibula bone. 4 Orthopedic specialists gave me 3.5 different opinions with different and conflicting recommendations for treatment.

So, unless the first two opinions are completely identical - yeah, definitely get the third. Better to go for people with slightly different specializations if relevant.
