if i demand a GP's appointment tomorrow?

I spent all day and most of last night in A&E at my local hospital with ds 4.5 years old. He was having difficultity breathing and had to be given a nebuliser, oxygen and steriods. Also x-ray taken of chest, which showed he had shadows on his lungs.

Dr has given me a letter to take my GP asking her to refer to chest specialist. Now i know when i phone for appointment, she will be fully booked for days. I think a referral for something like this, is an emergency and i should be able to see her immediately?

I will be demanding anyway, but just wondered what your thoughts were?

Thanks Charleeinchains. In about the last 4 months, i have taken ds to hospital about 4 times because he has had difficulty breathing. They usually just give him some nebulisers and some steriods and he is fine.

The Dr at hospital did ask me whether he had been screened for Cystic Fibrosis. He also looked at his fingertips and felt his stomach. He also had to have oxygen this time. They had not done any of this previously.

I suppose its just a case of doing all you can and sitting back and waiting, very worry all the same.
