FWIW, my understanding of doctor shopping vs. second opinions is this:
If you get medical advice from your primary physician that requires some sort of risky or serious procedure, it is wise to see at least one more doc to get confirmation of the diagnosis or proposed treatment. If the two doctors disagree, then it would be wise to see a third. That is just being prudent.
BUT if you get the same diagnosis/prognosis/treatment plan from two or three or six or a dozen doctors, but you do not wish to comply and keep seeking out new opinions in the hopes of finding one that you accept -- even when it seems obvious to anyone else that all the previous opinions are in sync and correct -- then you are doctor shopping. And that is just being stubborn and possibly risking a very bad outcome.
Also, you cannot tell from photos or videos how many people have attended an event. It's hard to tell even if you were there. I know that for major events in Washington, the park police will not even issue estimates.
