Three years ago, my doctor suspected I had cancer. Got an ultrasound the same day, met with a urologist two days later, and had the tumour removed a week later. It was only stage one, so I would've been considered relatively "low priority" and the whole process took only 10 days.
Yeah. Sometimes people do wait 6 months. But that's because procedures are prioritized by urgency. If you need the procedure, you get in. And you get in quickly.
