Why Get a Second Opinion?

let’s talk about getting a second opinion  whether it’s for some type of medical condition or whatever an effective treatment solution  to a medical problem should not give you another health problem there are always  risks involved or side effects so you really want to make sure you’re getting the  correct solution to your problem so getting a second or third or fourth opinion is really  just expanding the amount of data that you have so you can evaluate more effectively  now there’s two things i want to mention when you evaluate you have to have good data you  can’t have false data you also have to have all the data to evaluate you can’t have missing  data and i want to relate this to a recent situation that i ran into with a friend who had  this condition called spondylolisthesis which is a a fracture in the lower back a lot of  people actually have this condition where the vertebra like the lumbar vertebra  should be aligned but what’s happening it’s shifted forward because the back part is  fractured so then the spinal cord can pinch in the back part it’s called spondylolisthesis and so  um he got it from a an old injury he fell on his tailbone and apparently created a fracture  didn’t know it then later in life he had back pain he didn’t know what it was he had an x-ray  and sure enough he had this condition um you have to realize that there’s a lot of ligaments  and tendons and muscles that hold that in place and so there are certain levels or grades of  having this condition from from grade one to three or four when it gets really really severe and so  anyway he had this condition he went to the doctor and uh he wanted a second opinion from me  i looked at his x-rays it was a grade one it was not majorly severe and he had some mild  symptoms and he was going to physical therapy and the doctor said you better get the surgery or  you’re going to be a cripple he said the surgery is totally safe and the physical therapy is  not really long lasting so that was the data he had to evaluate and so when you evaluate you  need to have all the information available and the problem is with you doing research you might  google it but you might not find it in the first five pages you have to dig deep because  sometimes this data is buried but here are some of the missing data that i told him  number one um just from experience working with you know tens of thousands of people i’ve ran into  quite a few people with this condition and there are certain exercises that can majorly help this  condition which by the way i will do a separate video on and these exercises can stabilize that  condition to the point where the person could literally be without pain now it is true that  the complications from surgery is rare however there are other things that could definitely  increase the risk of getting these complications number one if you’re a smoker well guess what he’s  a chain smoker number two if you have arthritis well guess what he has massive arthritis through  this entire spine so the risk of some of these complications are definitely higher now the other  piece of information that i gave him so he can correctly evaluate what the doctor told him as  far as success level well in my book doesn’t seem to be that successful or effective  but when you actually look at the studies it was 73% successful so what does that mean you  have a 73 percent of having a successful surgery what about the other percentage what  happens with that is there permanent damage what type of side effects is it really going to  be safe enough not to give you another problem could there be any accident  where the person is permanently paralyzed that was the question i want to know  and that potentially could happen too so a 73 success rate especially when he’s getting therapy  and he’s almost pain-free just does not make sense i also told him this anytime a doctor is  using fear to motivate you that’s not a good motivating factor you should just give that  patient all the data so they can truly evaluate based on true information and having all of  the data there now i want to mention one more point when you evaluate something sometimes the  patient is invalidated or made wrong for looking at another viewpoint or another opinion i think  that’s definitely not okay as well so let’s say they want to look at alternative care or nutrition  or different diet that is sometimes invalidated as something that’s quackery or it has no scientific  basis or the science is settled and you shouldn’t look at that or even consider that and i say  that because when you start to really look at research and how much corruption there is i  mean it’s incredible the problem is most people cannot comprehend the research and so they’re  always getting second hand information by getting some interpretation or an opinion from the actual  research because i mean when i even read certain research on keto for example and you find out the  research was an observational study based on a questionnaire or that the so-called ketogenic diet  really wasn’t a ketogenic diet it was actually a high carb diet with high fat so you really have  to have all the data make sure it’s factual make sure that there’s nothing missing in order  to make the best decision all right thanks for watching hey before you go real quick i have a  course entitled how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course i want you to take it  and here’s why here’s you here is your environment everyone is focused on this over here  avoiding your environment but
