Getting a second opinion is standard medical practice these days. Many people are now seeking second opinions, especially when it comes to elective surgery procedures. Also some insurance companies are encouraging second opinions for surgical procedures and more people than ever are beginning to take an active role in their health care options. Most physicians are also on board, encouraging second and even third opinions. So the next time you plan to go under the knife, talk to your doctor and then talk to another and maybe even another. After all, it’s your body and you have a right to know.
Believe it or not, flu season is not over yet. In fact, doctors are just now seeing a number of flu cases. The good news is it’s not to late to get a flu shot. So St. John’s is helping you out and encouraging four-staters to get vaccinated. Flu shots are still available at our Expresscare location, at 13th and Rangeline in Joplin. For more information, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000.
