Hi Rachel ~ I'm sorry I didn't see your question before now. The biggest reason another doctor won't operate on a previous doctor's "work" is due to the possibility of a lawsuit. The 2nd doctor doesn't want to be included in it, if the first doctor did something wrong -- which is why the 2nd doctor would have been pulled into the case in the first place!

You can't really blame them. If the first doc screwed up, and the 2nd doc had to "fix" it, chances are only the first doc will be sued, but who knows?? They just don't want to get involved!

Can't say as I blame them. Hugs, Lee
