Where in the US did you have to wait months? There seems to be an MRI/imaging location in every other shopping center in the US right now. I've never had a problem getting a same day MRI when needed. Perhaps you were waiting for the 'free' one your insurance would accept?

Why wouldn't you wait for one your insurance would approve? You're probably paying them thousands every month.

Pittsburgh / UPMC.

Now try to schedule a colonoscopy. It'll probably take two or three months.
