Patientenrecht Zweitmeinung: Einfach und verständlich erklärt (German Edition) (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Volker Nürnberg, Marie-Theres Meier
In this patient guide, all essential aspects of the medical second opinion are summarized clearly and informatively. With the Care Strengthening Act, important patient rights for additional doctor’s opinions were expressly laid down in the law. Patients can refer to this law if they want to get a second opinion for upcoming therapies or interventions. The book explains the advantages and disadvantages of such a medical second opinion: When does it make sense for a patient to get a second opinion and how does it work at all away? What do you have to consider and how to act in situations with different opinions? Who bears the costs of the second medical opinion? The topics are rounded off with a comparison of the most important second opinion portals. Furthermore, contact persons and advice centers as well as the possibility of obtaining a third-party opinion are described. This clear information and practical tips make it possible to actively and responsibly participate in decision-making processes in the healthcare system and in this way to achieve more transparency and therapy quality for yourself as a patient.
