Second Opinions
At least once in a patient’s life, a difficult medical decision needs to be made, especially in cases where a conservative versus an invasive strategy are both reasonable options. Unfortunately up to 70% of patients do not seek a second opinion.
Uneasiness about requesting one from their primary provider, perhaps fearing repercussions, should not prevent a patient from obtaining a second opinion. A prudent caring physician should welcome and even encourage a patient’s request, providing all pertinent medical records. Most insurers support second opinions.
A second opinion is also important in that a patient may voice personal priorities such as surgical and medication complications and side effects, recovery time, need and length of rehabilitation, time to return to work, short and long term physical and cognitive limitations and long term outcomes of a conservative versus an invasive approach.
When seeking a second opinion, it is ideal to consult with a provider that does not work for the same corporate medical institution or the same group. In today’s medical system, eliminating a bias and or an economic incentive is imperative.
In cardiovascular disease second opinions should be routine and I encourage patients to feel comfortable in seeking another provider’s input!

Orwell’s Hospital
In the fictional Orwell’s Hospital, he brings to life a town’s changing medical system that all too often neglects the ones it is intended to care for. The town of Greenwell was about to experience a shift in healthcare. When two, well-respected country doctors suggested to the town elite that there was a need for a hospital in order to care for patients beyond the scope of their modest clinic, a golden opportunity was recognized. The Founders, as they came to be known, quickly went to work planning and politicking, recruiting the best, brightest and most shrewd of partners to make the hospital dream become a reality.
The story of Orwell’s Hospital takes the reader on a fictitious journey with very real consequences. Experience the ups and downs of the healthcare timeline as our characters, each with different intentions and motives, set about to mold the medical industry into their own image.
“A Tale of Two Farms
A Tale of Two Farms” is a story about two adjacent farms in the Town of Greenwell, both growing organic crops and healthy animals, who enter their top pigs at the yearly town fair. When one farm’s animals keeps winning the coveted 1st Prize, the other farm changes the diet of the animals to the brand new scientifically produced “Hungry Animal” brand that boasts as its secret ingredient the “White Glitter”. When that farm’s pig suddenly starts to win, a golden opportunity is recognized by the local entrepreneurs, owners of the new animal food, to partner up and expand to various businesses including a fast food chain, a soda company and a government subsidized refinery.
“A Tale of Two Farms” is s fable that takes the reader on a metaphorical journey over the very real consequences of the changing landscape in the way we have come to eat over the last 100 years with the all too often catastrophic impact on our health.
Experience the different motivations of the various characters and single handed stubbornness by one farm and it’s animals to remain true to the father of modern organic agriculture!
This story provides young parents a fun and great opportunity to teach their children about nutrition!
A Note From Dr. Federico Maese
To expand a little bit more about me, I enjoy having a cup of coffee with friends, allowing the conversations to take us on interesting journeys where we all learn something new about each other and ourselves.
I also love spending time in the kitchen, cooking healthy meals for friends and family. Speaking of health, I like to stay fit by cycling on trails, or playing tennis and basketball on the courts. When I need to exercise my mental muscles, I love to play chess.
Above all else, I love spending time with my four children, either hanging out at home, telling jokes and watching interesting shows, or taking them out to discover new healthy hole-in-the-wall restaurants around town
Each of my kids is extremely talented, one of which is an amazing artist who illustrates my fun, nutritional children’s book series. Another is following in her father’s footsteps and pursuing a future career in medicine.
When it comes to my patients’ health and medicine in general, my genuine commitment is to build a trusting connection with each person I help through hard work and persistence which will ultimately result in the individual’s long and healthier life.
