The wait times in the US are currently consistently problematic. An orthopedic is like a 2 month wait, a psychiatrist is a wait-list if you even manage to find one accepting new patients to begin with.
Even with an MRI showing that my mom's breast cancer has likely metastasized to her spine, she has to wait 2 weeks to see the Orthopedist. Just for the consultation, not 2 weeks for surgery. America is fucking bonkers on wait times. Imagine being in debilitating pain with tens of lesions in your spine and being told you have to just deal with it for 2 weeks before you even know what it is for sure.
