🐘🐘 Humpleupagus 🐘🐘 on Nostr: Getting a second opinion doesn't entail the you have any right to refuse treatment ...
Getting a second opinion doesn't entail the you have any right to refuse treatment whatsoever. It just means you get a second opinion. Whether it agrees with the first may determine care, but that is left to the doctors. This is easily established when you consider the situation in which they agree on treatment. Thus, if the right is not explicitly stated, the right to a second opinion doesn't entail the right to refuse treatment.
