remember this is all out of area

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

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

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.

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

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.

seems good to me.

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

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.
