I would definitely ask about the MRI. Does the Dr. know you are a nurse? My kids pediatrician knows that I am an RN and is very open to my input, as a nurse and as a mom. I think most good pediatricians would, and should, be open to all questions and input from parents, you know your child better than anyone.

as far as I'm aware that is a Dr, NP, or Pa's area.

you did what was right. you can't make the Dr do anything else. the only other thing I would add is to notify the nursing supervisor at your hospital. Had a situation once with a pt. who had a ruptured appy, the Dr wasn't going to take her for emergent surgery, so we called the supervisor. The patient ended up with a new Dr and surgery after all.
