Anything less than 24 hours would be a miracle. It basically depends on how busy the centre holding the record is at the time, and how important your request is perceived to be. You should expect to wait a few days from fillling the request to receipt of records; a week at most.

Added: (in the US) In addition to the above - it may also depend on WHO it is that is requesting to see the medical record. Unless previously granted access by the patient themselves, the HIPAA Act prohibits access to anyone else's medical records except by court order.
