All appointments are triaged. Some people get them 2 minutes after seeing a doctor, some people wait 6 months. It all depends on need. Source - work in a hospital, have an MRI scheduled next week. Sure it would be nice that everyone gets an MRI when they need it, but they are expensive pieces of equipment, requiring a very specialized room and staff.
