    When a Doctor’s prognosis is bad, we want to seek a second opinion. But when a prognosis is good we’re somehow okay with it.

        @neiltyson I need a second opinion on this tweet. It's not very positive.

        @neiltyson My husband ended up with bladder cancer because he wouldn't get a second opinion (his doc: "normal for you").

        @neiltyson That's odd, I'm the opposite. If the prognosis is good (and I chose to go to the doctor for an issue), I get a 2nd opinion.

        @neiltyson Same applies with the @Comcast rep who insists he can't lower my monthly internet bill. I'm calling corporate tomorrow.
