> It seems to be a universal truth that getting a CT/MRI comes with a long wait time.

I wonder if this is regional. I was able to get an MRI scheduled within a couple weeks when I needed one for my non-urgent condition. This was in Chicago, so maybe we're just blessed with a surplus of MRI machines.

I was able to get one for my head once on the same day. One of the symptoms must have raised some major red flags, I guess. This was in Heidelberg, they have a huge medschool. For my knees I waited for weeks, if not months, though.

Just outside Washington, DC my MRIs were scheduled within 4 days.
