Second Opinions Common For Athletes

If you’re injured and receive a diagnosis from a medical professional your next step should be to seek a second opinion. Professional athletes do it all the time because an injury can sideline them for the season or potentially ruin a career.

Recently New York Yankees Carlos Beltran received a second opinion for a right elbow injury. Pain in the left elbow sent Nationals minor league left hander Matt Purke for a second opinion.  For pitchers with elbow injuries, a second opinion often serves as a precursor to ligament replacement surgery.

Baseball players aren’t the only athletes lining up for second opinions. Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee got one for a torn ACL. It looks like his injury will keep him on the bench through the 2014 season.
