like if I advise someone how we should sue someone, then they go to Firm B, firm B will almost certainly say my plan is screwed up. any evidence of that popping up in med circles?
* my entire knowledge base is the sopranos where Junior's surgeon really wanted to cut him, but he got a second opinion from an oncologist, which was the better advice.

You'll get different points of view, but docs are pretty good about being more concerned about what they think is the best option for the patient than necessarily getting to do it themselves. You'll run into ego more than anything else.
