I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

Why did Obito, a supposed "bad person," do good things for Kakashi?

seems good to me.

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

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

Why are liberals so bad at grasping alternative facts? For example, if something doesn’t happen the exact same way Trump described it, liberals dismiss it as false; while conservatives are able to fully understand the underlying principle.

remember this is all out of area

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

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.

What do you think are the real reasons Matt Gaetz just withdrew his name for Attorney General in the upcoming Trump administration?

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

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

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

Why do you write?

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

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.
