seems good to me.

After around 30mins I was called by a nurse who checked my nose. She then went to get a Dr to look further. This Dr then got another Dr to check and confer with.

They concluded I needed to be referred to the hospital in the next city (40 miles away) and booked an appointment for me for the next day.

What was your best unexpected reunion with your childhood best friend?

I saw 4 Drs, 1 of whom was a specialist, and supporting staff. I had a small surgery.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

I went to the hospital the next day, paid 400 Sek ($40 ish) and went to the ENT department.

Why do people keep complaining about how some people copy and paste the question before answering it? To me, it's very disturbing and makes me want to block and mute them as annoying whiners.

After an examination by a junior doctor, and a consultation with the consultant. I had a small surgical procedure, and went home.

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

I walked into the local health centre and explained my problem and asked if I could see someone.

How do great movie moments influence how people handle real-life moral dilemmas?

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

I was told they were busy but would fit me in when they could but likely it would be 2–3 hours, especially since I was out of area, and not one of their patients. If I remember correctly I paid 200Sek ($20 approx) and sat and waited.

remember this is all out of area

What are some fun/kinky things to do with your partner?

I was leaving the hospital less than 24 hours from first walking into the health centre.

Most answers seem to be from the UK, so I will relate my experience here in Sweden.
