Doctor 1 is suggesting drug X for treating condition A.
Doctor 2 suggests a different way of treating condition A and points out that whilst safe, drug X isn't licenced to treat condition A ( but is fine for condition Z - which is unrelated and that I don't have).
What does this mean about Doctor 1's plan? Is it experimental / a new approach / something else? Should Doctor 1 have told me about this (I only got a 2nd opinion because I didn't like the sound of the treatment not because I felt it was unsuitable). It's the only option Doctor 1 put on the table (although acknowledged there were other treatments that could be available privately but that Doctor 1 couldn't couldn't advise on).
