Australia checking in and agreeing, usually same day or even within a few hours for MRI, x-ray and ultrasound. Next day for CAT. Centralised records so each practitioner can see the full history.

Oh and blood tests done with max 30 minute wait and then results in 48h

Same and I'm American.

Although as an American, I always struggle with blanket statements because we have wildly different standards for literally everything depending on where you are. I live in a major city that isn't LA or NYC or something like that. all of my medical records are digitized too. All my doctors can look at everything an urgent care, hospital, regular doctor did. But also my sister who lives in nowhere, USA has to deal with paper everything and long delays. The US is both 1st and 3rd world depending on what area you're talking about.
