That's what happened to me when I had pneumonia, too. (for self-diagnosis- no cough for days, high fever, stabbing pain in back, sounds like Rice Krispies when you open your mouth- don't even have to be breathing!) I toughed it out Thursday and Friday, then it was the weekend and too hard to go to the doc, then Monday, after a whole weekend of 104 fever, I finally called, and they couldn't get me in until the next day! I'm like, well, I hope I don't _die_ first...

Just be insistant.
