I would absolutely and positively call the Dr's office and DEMAND an appointment the same day and if they don't comply then you DEMAND to speak with the Dr. via phone to find out exactly what is going on. If that doesn't work, then set up an appointment with another physician (a neurologist would be good) ASAP and request that the MRI/EEG results be sent to this new Dr. right away.

I have worked in the medical profession for many years, and for the Dr. to say there is something "abnormal" and not be able to see you for several days is bullshit. Patients and parents have rights and remember that the Dr. is working for YOU and your daughter. You demand some answers or go elsewhere to find them. I'm sure you're stressed out about this and are thinking the worse...and that is unfair to you and to your daughter who is ill.

Remember, the squeeky wheel gets greased, so make a lot of noise and get some answers. Physicians always stress about malpractice/lawsuits so if you are loud enough, this Dr. will listen or risk a lawsuit. Good luck!
