Limits and advantages of the written Second Opinion
In this pandemic period of COVID-19, it was decided to activate the written Second Opinion service.
The service is aimed at patients residing abroad and for Italian patients, coming from Italian regions far from the outpatient clinic of the "Per gli Infermi" Hospital in Faenza (RA) in Emilia-Romagna - Italy, to avoid the risks of travel and limitations to travel.
This Second Opinion service can serve in particular as a screening to identify patients who may indicate to undergo a neurosurgical visit to evaluate the possibility of surgical therapy, especially for infrequent pathologies.
It must be borne in mind that in most cases, the data obtained from the outpatient medical examination are those that complete the evaluation of the clinical case and allow to express conclusive diagnostic and therapeutic opinions. During the outpatient neurosurgical visit, the need for diagnostic completion with appropriate tests may be found. After undergoing the required examinations, the patient can choose whether to return to a subsequent outpatient visit to the "Per gli Infermi" Hospital in Faenza (RA) or send the reports and images of the required examinations by mail or via the internet.

The service
provided through the Second Opinion of Vanni VERONESI MD differs from
the diagnostic services offered by a physician on-site.
When the
physician gives a Second Opinion, they will not be privy to some information
that would usually be gained through an on-site examination of your physical
condition.
This limitation
may impact the physician’s opinion of your diagnosis.
Thus our
physician’s recommendations will be shared with your local physician to
minimize potential risks to your health.
When agreeing to
use our service, you acknowledge this limitation and agree to assume the
associated risk.
Consequently, you
are aware that a requested Second Opinion is provided based on the medical
records you provide us with, and you agree that the Vanni VERONESI MD bears no
responsibility for the quality and content of these external documents.
When receiving a Second Opinion, you herewith consent that:
·
Your involvement
in the Second Opinion will be carried out in writing;
·
The Second Opinion will be based on the medical reports / radiological images provide;
·
The Second Opinion is informative and does not aim to replace a full medical evaluation or
an on-site visit with a physician;
·
The Second Opinion does not provide relevant information usually obtained during an
out-patient examination, thereby limiting the diagnosis of a condition,
disease, or injury;
·
The
recommendations resulting from a second opinion will be provided to your
referring physician.

evaluation of Medical History, medical reports,
medical records, and clinical symptoms questionnaire and neuroradiological images.
It allows me to be able to provide indications on the basis of a lot of information, including previous diagnoses and interpretations of neuroradiological tests. There are no limits to the number of tests (MRI, CT, and X-ray), which, however, must be connected to the current clinical situation.
If then I suggest other neuroradiological tests, these always fall into the COMPLEX second opinion.
