Do you perform interviews on potential doctors or lawyers you may choose to use? If you trust credentialing bodies for such important services why the distrust for something non-lifethreatening like an employee?


Yes? Of course I do? Do you seriously think that doctors are a commodity with no difference in skills between them?

The phrase "get a second opinion" is so intrinsically tied to medicine that it's a little weird that you'd imply that any doctor will do.


A second opinion comes after services are rendered. I don't think you put your doctor through a ringer like an employment candidate, was the point I was making.


No I do though, although the context is of course different since I don't know a bunch about medicine.

I ask a ton of questions and I've found that good doctors a) welcome the questions and b) do a good job of explaining. If q doctor doesn't really give me good answers then I'll go elsewhere. A lot of doctors appointments are ahead of some bigger procedure or an ongoing relationship, so the first meeting definitely is evaluative for me.
