It reminds people that the world is not the US. 30+ comments above and nobody pointed out the unspoken assumption.

  The OP mentioned the doctor firewall. I don’t live in the US and have the same firewall. It’s not a uniquely American issue.

    If you don't tell us where you live, it's not such a useful feedback item. In many (most) places in Asia, you can walk into any clinic and order whatever tests you want if they are reasonable and exist. For alot of tests the results could be available later that day. You do pay, but the cost is usually minimal compared to say the US.

      Canada. And sure, I could ask my doctor and he’d say “sure, if you pay for it”. So just like the US.

    ...and in many other places there isn't.
