That depends on the hospital and the waiting list and what has been ordered.

A lawyer may be able to get the judge or the doctor to do the evaluation sooner or get her into the facility and out of jail sooner or it may just have to wait until a bed is available but it would not cost much to try.

An attorney can file a motion and bring the issue before the appropriate judge and ask that the process be expedited.

Maybe. The lawyer may be able to arrange for a private doctor to go in and evaluate her, and perhaps get her moved to a private hospital if you have insurance to cover it.
