First, I didn't say same day and specifically caveated for the MRI. That said, the CT was either same-day or next-day, I forget which. It was for hyponatremia and was in the Washington, DC region. My primary point was comparative - wait times are considerably longer for the NHS than in the US.

If you go to A&E you'll be seen very quickly in the UK, but unless you're lucky with which hospital you pay to get into you could be waiting quite a while in the US.

So we're talking about a situation where a doctor thought a patient required an MRI-- using your word-- "immediately." In the NHS when a doctor requests a patient get an immediate MRI, what are you claiming is the average wait time? Edit: clarification
