In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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.

Why do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

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

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

Why does my crush make me jealous about having a girlfriend?

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

seems good to me.

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.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

remember this is all out of area

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

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

Why do many women in Turkey prefer to date blacks as a lover?

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.

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