asking for a second opinion ( which isn't a legal right in England )
Obviously there are reasonable limits placed on this to avoid wasting time, resources and money (as in: there's no disputing this series of XRays, all showing a massive tumor) but you can get a second opinion.

See the BMA's explanation here and a more 'chatty' explanation here.
Someting from the BMA page:
Quote:
However, although it is generally acknowledged that patients do not have an automatic right to a further opinion, doctors should always respect a patient's wish to obtain one unless there are justifiable reasons for refusal, e.g. it is perceived that the patient might come to harm as a result.
