Although this is an irrelevant question in one respect (i.e., an OBGYN outranks a pediatrician in determining which pelvic masses should be surgically removed), still, it is asked to explore how you might approach a legitimate professional disagreement with a colleague or consultant when the stakes are high.

"This would simply require a frank discussion in which we each list the relevant points contributing to our rationales. If disagreement continued, as the patient's primary physician I would ask for another opinion by consulting another pediatrician and another GYN surgeon."
