second-opinion-request
Get a second medical opinion without torching the first relationship — when it's warranted, how to raise it with the current doctor, the records package the consulting doctor needs, and how to weigh two opinions that disagree. Use when asked should I get a second opinion, how do I ask for a second opinion without offending my doctor, what records do I send, or the two doctors disagree now what. Produces the warranted-or-not framing, the raising-it scripts, the records checklist, and the disagreement-weighing framework.

The friction is social and logistical, not medical: how to say it to the current doctor, what to actually send, and what to do when the opinions differ. This skill handles exactly those three, and stays out of the medicine itself. ## What This Skill Produces - **The warranted check** — the situations where second opinions earn their cost, honestly framed (and the ones where they mostly add delay) - **The scripts** — raising it with the current doctor, requesting the consult, and the insurance-coverage question - **The records package checklist** — what the consulting physician needs, so the visit reviews the case instead of restarting it - **The disagreement framework** — how to structure the follow-up questions when opinions differ, without playing referee on medicine ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The situation** — the diagnosis or recommended treatment, in the user's words; the stakes (surgery, long-term medication, serious
