Liver disease decisions are high-stakes and irreversible.
Small errors in:

Transplant timing
Cancer eligibility
➡ Can change survival, quality of life, and costs dramatically.
When You Should Seek a Second Opinion
Conflicting advice about transplant
Told “nothing more can be done”
Advised urgent transplant without explanation
Rapid change in treatment plans
International patients unsure of next steps
