“Medical situations can in so many ways be scary,” acknowledges Dr. Jerry M. Foster.  A medical practitioner for over thirty years in the fields of Oncology and Internal Medicine, Dr. Foster believes in third party consultation.  “When a patient has been diagnosed with a serious illness, an objective third party can assist them in numerous ways,” asserts Dr. Foster.  A graduate of North Carolina State University and with Doctoral work completed at both Duke University and Vanderbilt Medical Center, Dr. Jerry M. Foster understands the value of a third party consultant.

The first benefit of a third party consultant during a medical situation is the obvious – information.  “One cannot let fear overshadow other decisions,” says Dr. Jerry M. Foster.  And during medical situations, a third party consultant can give an additional second opinion as well as other information, states Dr. Jerry M. Foster.  According to Dr. Foster, after a second opinion deems the first diagnosis correct, the consultant can offer information and pathways maybe not previously discussed.

The second benefit of employing a third party consultant, says Dr. Foster is the care.  “Families and patients undergoing major medical situations need a calming voice of care,” states Dr. Jerry M. Foster.  A third party consultant can provide that moment of needed care.

Finally, according to Dr. Jerry M. Foster, a third and final benefit of third party consultation during a medical situation is cost savings.  “Most often, a doctor is going to encourage a patient to receive a second opinion,” explains Dr. Foster.  However, a third party consultation can be given over the Internet, thereby saving a patient valuable dollars.  “The second opinion and follow-up information can be given quickly without the costs of office visits and travel,” concludes Dr. Jerry M. Foster.
