Yeah, again, it depends on your condition normally.. I live in a very densely populated area here, so i think that if there was someone who could answer the question, it would probably be myself.. If i woke up tomorrow morning, and wanted a CAT scan done, i'd call my doctor, and they'd schedule me probably by the end of the week to see me, considering it's not considered a "sick visit".. If it was a "sick visit", then if i call early enough in the day when they first open, I'd normally be able to get in by the end of the day.. So anyway, i get the appointment (the non-sick visit) by the end of the week, lets say friday.. I go in, tell him i want a CAT scan, if he agrees, then he writes me out a sheet and with something like a CAT scan, it doesn't take long so i can usually just go at my earliest convenience.. i could wait a few weeks if i wanted, or i could go on my way home..

Not the long ago, i broke my toe, and the Doctor wanted me to get an x-ray just to make sure that there were no problem with the joints or something because it could require surgery if that were the case or something.. so he wrote me out a sheet saying which toe on which foot i needed x-ray'd and then i drove down the street to the lab, and they did it for me on the spot..
