Nocam,
Read what Brian has to say several times--lots of good information. I've just got to say I don't care what my situation is I am just stubborn enough that if I ran up against a doctor who indicated he/she would not sign a request for a second consultation (I've never heard of that form) I would say, "Oh, yeah . . ," and start walking out the door. "Sorry buddy, it's my life, my body, not yours."
I'm not saying Emory is all bad, but lots of folks from Atlanta are in the ENT waiting room at MD Anderson, I can tell you that for certain.
