INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need a miter saw to cut the trim at an angle and form a corner. Miter saws have adjustable bases you set to the angle you wish to cut. For the initial angle, turn the base clockwise until the saw points to the 45-degree angle mark, which you can see on the angle gauge beneath the base. Then, position the edge of the trim to the left of the saw blade, holding it firmly against the built-in metal fence for stability as you cut. This piece will typically fit on the left-hand side. All of the trim around windows and doors forms outside corners. Think of a picture frame. Some baseboard and crown molding installation involves outside corners as well. Outside corners generally consist of single pieces of trim connected together. For long walls, you can glue or nail longer pieces of trim to the corner pieces you cut. To create the mating piece of trim, the angle gauge needs to point to the exact opposite angle from what you used earlier. If you look on the gauge, you should see a second "45" to the right. Turn the saw to point to it, hold the trim to the right of the blade, then cut through it. This piece will typically fit on the right-hand side. For trim with multiple corners, such as the top and bottom pieces framing a window, cut the opposite end of the original trim. When you push the mitered edges together, they will connect seamlessly. To get a better sense of this, hold the trim up against the wall corner where you plan on installing them. Then, redo the miter cuts as needed to create the perfect corner angle. The cut edges should fall exactly on the corner of your wall, door, or window. You can quickly cut the trim down to size by making a square cut with a miter saw. Use the 0-degree setting on the miter to slice through the ends of the trim opposite of the miter cuts. Then, install the trim and fill the gaps with caulk. You can apply caulk with a caulk gun. Place the nozzle near the gap you need to fill, then gradually move the it along the gap while holding down the gun's trigger. You can also nail the boards in place for additional stability. Position 2.5in (6.4cm) finish nails about every 16in (41cm) along the trim. If the boards don't connect cleanly or rest flat against the wall, caulk can cover up the imperfections. You can paint caulk the same color as the trim so anyone who comes into your home is hard-pressed to spot the flaws in the miter cut.

SUMMARY: Slice a trim board at a 45-degree angle. Rotate the saw to slice the second piece of trim. Test the mitered pieces by connecting them. Trim the pieces to length and fill in gaps with paintable silicone caulk.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your doctor is firmly unsupportive of trying treatment options other than the one that you are uncomfortable with, explain that you want to find a second opinion first. A good doctor will be supportive of you looking for other opinions. They may even be able to recommend some other specialists. Getting a second opinion is sometimes required by insurances for surgeries. Sometimes the second doctor doesn't agree with the first regarding treatment, and sometimes they do. If the 2 doctors do not agree, it's best to seek a third opinion to help you decide. The doctor giving you a second opinion will need all your medical information and records. Ask in person before leaving the appointment with your first doctor, or call the office later by phone, to ask that your records are given to another office. You may have to sign a confidentiality waiver about sharing your medical records. Therefore, it can be most convenient to ask your first doctor's office staff about sending the records before you leave. When you go to the second doctor, briefly summarize your condition and explain why you are there seeking another opinion. Tell them all the reasons you are not sure you want to follow the treatment recommendation that your first doctor is advocating for. This doctor will hopefully give you some more information about the procedure or treatment that was not given to you before, helping you to decide what to do. Or, they may have alternative approaches that they have used that you feel more comfortable with trying. If you have tried various approaches with your doctor and you still feel that they don't value your input, or that they make you feel foolish for asking questions, this is not a healthy doctor-patient relationship. Find another doctor in your area that you can have a better working relationship with. Other signs that it may be time to leave your doctor include your doctor not coordinating well with other physicians, their office is disorganized, or your doctor is so rarely available that you usually see assistants or nurse practitioners instead. If your doctor is often rude to you, even if they seem knowledgeable overall, find another provider. This is not a beneficial dynamic. A quality doctor should be knowledgeable, but they should also be kind, supportive, and attentive to your questions and needs. If the number of doctors in your area is limited, seek advice from trusted family members, friends, or medical assistance agencies about the problem you're having. They may be able to recommend other doctors to you, or help you travel farther distances to see a doctor that is more compatible with you.

SUMMARY: Tell your doctor you want a second opinion before committing. Ask your doctor office to send records to the second doctor. Bring a list of concerns and questions to the second doctor appointment. Leave your doctor completely if you don't trust them despite your efforts.
