I love it when there are those from "the rest of the world" who make general statements about Americans -- meaning those from the United States -- the most diverse country in the world. They typically just show how little they know.

Our daughter had "just a fever" and my wife and I delayed doing much about it. When we did contact the pediatrician, he was not particularly alarmed and proceeded with caution when it came to treatment. This attitude almost cost our daughter permanent hearing loss.

So, yes, by all means ... get extra opinions. And if you get the extra opinions in the USA or in our great neighbor to the north, diversity will be built in.

And get the opinions from doctors, not a naive foreigner who views 300 million people with diverse backgrounds and heritages as one.
