You should always be getting a second or third opinion from real doctors for matters like surgeries, radiology, etc.

One doctor diagnosis + LLM is gonna throw you off. You need more datapoints.

In the US, this is standard advice. I note that the OP is in Germany. Maybe they do things differently, there.

In Germany we get zero-th opinion because you can't even get an appointment within the next 8 months.

And when you meet them, if you're unlucky they don't want to hear your medical history and want you out of the door in two minutes.

The OP describes getting injected with a homeopathic botanical formulation and receiving another type of therapy that wasn’t indicated for his condition.

I wonder if this person was going to a traditional doctor or if they were visiting some type of specialty clinic as a second opinion. For most conditions you can find specialty clinics that will prescribe and administer (and bill for) a lot of non-indicated treatments, but some patients like being in the care of doctors who take action and do things after being recommended more conservative treatments by primary doctors.
