Waiting sucks and with today's technology we shouldn't have to without a good reason so I would ask. Make sure it's a good reason. When my ENT did a FNA on my neck node he said, "I'll pull some strings and get it back ASAP". Two weeks to the day I got a phone call to come in to see him AFTER he was finished with the day's appointments. I knew it wasn't going to be good news.
When they put me under to find my Primary, my wife had the results before I even woke up. That's the way it should be.
