Do doctors need a doctor?

Question

and if they do what if he/she disagrees with diagnosis of ther doctor

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

They do need other doctors, such as dentists.  I guess if they disagree they would find another doctor.

Answer 4

Interesting

Guessing they do quite a lot of self-diagnosis, but there would be some things you couldn't do yourself

They'd probably get a doctor they know is skilled for those things

Answer 5

I'm sure they do but that's what friends are for.  A lot of dr's also have friends that are dr's that they can call on.  If they don't agree I would assume they are like anyone else and would ask a different dr for another opinion.

Answer 6

s.They do...

Answer 7

A doctor can not operate on himself. <}:-})

Answer 8

YES DOCTORS NEED A DOCTOR TOO.

Answer 9

yes i think doctors do need a doctor because they can't give them selfs a check up very accurately

it's like a dentist needs a dentist

Answer 10

depends on his/her illness. if the illness only needs medicine then no. if the illness needs an operation then yes.

if the doctor disagrees? he/shell just go or listen to the other doc's opinion.

Answer 11

Yes they do need a doctor because 1. They cant write prescriptions for themselves and 2. if you try to diagnos yourself, you have everything lol ;)

Answer 12

They do that .

Answer 13

lol dats funny

Answer 14

If a doctor cannot always accurately diagnose himself. For example how would he carry out his own inner ear inspection?!

Answer 15

Well if a doctor is sick he can treat him or herself. But they do need to be examined by doctors in their yearly checkups.  

Answer 16

By law, I think most doctors actually do need to get a prescription from another doctor.  That being said, I'm sure most doctors have peers/friends that are doctors and will write them whatever prescription they want.

Answer 17

Yup b.c my mom is a doctor and she goes to a doctor too when she has a physical and stuff :)

She sometimes prescribes my brother and I medicine... i think its so awesome hahaaha!

Answer 18

I would assume so yes. A lot of doctors specialize in one area, so say they thought they had a heart problem, but they are a orthopedic surgeon, it would probably not be in their best interest to diagnose themselves! And if they went to a doctor, and disagreed with the diagnosis, they would probably get a second opinion from another doctor, and if that doctor agrees with the first doctor...chances are, youre wrong.

Answer 19

yes they do, if they disagree with the diagnosis then they go to another doctor to get more than one opinion, just what everyone else does!

Answer 20

Of course they do.

They are human too!!

If they disagree with a diagnosis, just like anyone else.... they should seek a second opinion.
