text: A common reason that people ask several people for advice is different knowledge or education. Let's say you feel sick at school, so you go to the school clinic. The small office you walk into smells like Lysol wipes and empty dreams. after taking your temperature, the nurse gives you a ice pack, says you have a cold and tells you to ask your parent to buy cold medicine. You feel very sick though and you know it isn't from a cold. You decide to get a second opinion, when you get home, you ask your mom to drive you to the doctor. She drives you to the doctor's office and when you get inside you wait in the waiting room for about twenty minutes. When your name is called, the doctor asks you questions about how you feel and then she looks in your eyes, ears, throat and nose. Then she takes your temperature and listens to your breath. She diagnoses you with pneumonia and you go home with a antibiotic. If you hadn't gotten a second opinion you could have gotten very sick, and even spread it to others at school. Because of the second opinion you got from someone with a better education in the medical field, you were able to be cured and stop yourself from going to school and getting classmates sick.
