My coworker fell in Costa Rica, hurt her knee and came back and had an MRI the same week. I saw my doctor in mid-March and she ordered an MRI on my neck, it's scheduled for next week. Do some people wait 6 months... yes, those that can wait 6 months are asked to wait 6 months. Those that need it quickly, get it quickly. It's the triage method.
I also had the option to book a private MRI and get it next day. It would have been $650CAD or $483USD. I happen to be in LA when my issue came up and I looked at private MRI. It was way more expensive than the Canadian alternative (however, it could have been LA/Hollywood pricing).
