Always do your best to find doctors (and if necessary and possible, specialists) that you trust, but if something just doesn’t feel right, it could save your life.

I completely agree! I still don’t think if something feels off to you, that it hurts to seek other opinions from medical professionals. It doesn’t mean you have to abandon the doctor that gave the first opinions. A good doctor should be fine with someone getting a second opinion even if to only *confirm their diagnosis and treatment. I feel like that’s just good science?
