Need an ultra sound? Wait for 3-4 weeks. Want an MRI? Wait for 2-3 months.
Why can't I get immediate care when I need it without having to step on the emergency room and pay (probably) thousand(s) USD?
When I lived in Canada I waited 8 months to see a Neurologist for a slipped disk in my neck. During my visit he asked how long I waited because it had healed on its own, I told him 8 months and he shook his head and apologized.
Your mileage varies everywhere.
