I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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

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

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

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

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.

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

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

Isn't it ironic people always talk about how much women hate Donald Trump, when almost any of them would marry him if they could? What he said in the 2005 Billy Bush video, almost every woman would share the sentiment if it got them his lifestyle.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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.

seems good to me.
