A second opinion

[optimistic pessimist]

Hi teachers!

I'd like to be more familiar with the use of "a second opinion".

I know it is used used in a context related to medicine like below.

"He went to see another doctor seeking a second opinion."

Is this phrase used to refer to something that has nothing to do with medical opinions? Like in " The architect says this bridge will collapse within a few years, but we should ask for a second opinion before making a reconstracting plan"?

Thanks

It means to seek another person's view of a situation, preferably from someone not involved in the original discussions. There is no reason why is cannot be applied to anything about which there is a doubt.

Thank you, Anglika. I appreciate your reply.

So, does the the sentence I made up below show a correct use?

"The math teacher taught Nancy a solution to a difficult math problem, but she didn't agree with him. So, she asked another teacher for a second opinion"

It is fine.
