My thoughts are that your doctor seems to think that he is an attorney and is twisting the facts and words. Of course only the patient requests the second opinion, and the "requesting" physician is bearing only the burden of a gatekeeper, certifying that your medical records are correct and that his planned treatment is not 100% guaranteed. I've seen this type of pseudo legalistic analysis often, using in tax protestors' briefs.
Ask the chief medical officer of the hospital where this guy has privileges if he would sign it. Also involve the Patient Advocate. Sorry to hear about this. Charm
PS: I've been a lawyer for 40 years now and started off in medical malpractice so I've seen this terrible behavior before.
