Where are you located? E.g. the average wait times for CT scans and MRIs in Canada is weeks: https://canjhealthtechnol.ca/index.php/cjht/article/download.... UK NHS is 6-18 weeks. Here in suburban Maryland I’ve never had to wait more than a day or two for anything.
I’ve never had anything that available (outside of urgent care which imo is not very good). None of this had an immediate need.
MRI a few years ago had a month and a half wait (not urgent but recommended).
Pediatrician? At least 3 months and thats IF they take new patients.
Allergist, 6 month waiting list.
My last PCP I had to book out 2 months in advance (the practice I wanted to go to was booked 6 months out).
We are also suburbs of a big city.
