As a physician, I say most doctors would enthusiastically welcome it. With today's constant threat of litigation, practically all doctors are getting second opinions on every diagnosis anyway to help defend their actions in case something goes wrong. If they can say "Watson agreed with my diagnosis" instead of "Dr. Jones agreed with my diagnosis", work gets done quicker. Waiting for second opinions is hugely annoying and a big time waster in a doctor's day.
