demanding to see a specialist
4 Answers
hiya im asking this question on behalf of my cousin whos little boy aged 3 is having 'funny turns' when he hurts himself. Basically whenever he falls he blacks out and stops breathing, his eyes roll to the back of his head and it takes a few minutes to come round, which is extremely distressing and worrying to see. He's been doing this for 2 years now. He has had brain scans, tests on his heart and blood test and all of these have concluded nothing. The hospital told them that they dont know whats causing this and sent them on a course to learn recussiation and told also that this is something that they will have to learn to live with and that they should be prepared for the fact that one day he may not come round! We as a family find this absolutley shocking, there is obviously something wrong with him and what we want to know is can you DEMAND to be refered to a specialist, even if its in another place in the country? Is there anyone else who has had the same problem?
