Thats good, and important....after my bike wreck 2 weeks out of the hospital (I was there over 2) I had a bike I was building up vintage rare, and slow but cool....but 3 skull fractures, and all the other mess I put myself in I was wanting to get out and test. I did, broken ribs still hurting, and all the stupid crap. I still cant believe I did, and well....it was a total and absolute lack of judgment. I was so jumped on adrenaline I actually rode the thing like a beast, my Girlfriend at the time, she kept "egging me" "get back on" , "you love it , its who you are" yada....I guess a P.H.D dosent come with a dose of common sense in her case. (hence the Ex thing) I was lucky getting as tired as I did, and hurting as bad as I did for as long as I did afterward, litteraly 2 weeks, it was good it kept me "honest" with myself for quite sometime, into the winter.
I dono a couple months after a major ticker event dosent sound too bad to me.
My Dads Doc ok'd him and the NHRA agreed but hes only got cancer (that what he says) and well, its not going to cause an "instant" issue.
Second opinions are funny, and easy take if from someone who has too much experience with my son my father, myself.
You can ALWAYS shop for the opinion you want and you WILL find it. But is it the "right" opinion ? There are doctors who know and doctors who dont, if he is well respected and considered "top notch" then Id say Id take what he says as important and get him to explain his reasoning, if he isnt willing , able or has time to....well then a second opinion may be in order not because of his lack of understanding of racing but for his lack of understanding its important for a paitent to understand why he is being cared for in what manner.
