Grey's Anatomy - I saw what I saw

In order to get a good diagnosis, doctors have to constantly change their perspective.

We start by getting the patient's point of view, though they often don't have a clue what's going on.

So we look at the patient from every possible angle. We rule things out; we uncover new information, trying to get to what's actually wrong.

We're asked for second opinions, hoping we'll see something others might have missed.

For the patient, a fresh perspective can mean the difference between living and dying. For the doctor, it can mean you're picking a fight with everyone who got there before you.

When we're headed toward an outcome that's too horrible to face, that's when we go looking for a second opinion. And sometimes, the answer we get just confirms our worst fears. But sometimes, it can shed new light on the problem, make you see it in a whole new way. After all the opinions have been heard, and every point of view has been considered, you finally find, what you were after, the truth. But the truth isn't where it ends, that's just where you begin again, with a whole new set of questions.
