Have you ever asked your doctor, psychiatrist or therapist for a second opinion?
Would this be too confrontational?
How easy would this be for you?

You don't tell them you are getting a second opinion, you just make an appointment with another person and get the second opinion.
No need to tell your original doctor.

Its your choice to tell them you are getting (or got) a second opinion. If you like the second person better, why not just stay with them though? Generally I don't see a point in telling the original doctor about a second opinion.
However, I can be very confrontational when I don't think I'm being cared for correctly. Lol so I don't think it'd be hard for me. The relationship with any doctor is professional not personal anyhow.

That's a normal procedure, you have the right to get all the answers you need from your doctor, as part of the ethics in their profession. The pacient has the right to get all the answers that satisfy his/her needs of information plenty. So go on and ask all the questions you need, if you don't get them change your doctor, he isn't probably the proper doctor for you.

Why would I ask my doctor for a second opinion? I'd just go and get it.

You don't need to ask for a second opinion, just go and
see another doctor. They are not all the same.

It bugs the hell out of me when second guess doctors! they didn't go to med school for like ten years for nothing! and i don't think you went to med school or even know half of the things your doctor is talking about. so shut the **** up and stop trying to be an insufferable little know it all!
