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

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

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

Orchestral Music: How well synchronised in time do musicians have to be to sound as if they are playing together?

remember this is all out of area

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.

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

Why do people have polyamorous relationships?

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

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.

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.

Do opposites attract? How often do you see weird couples like a guy/girl dating someone who is boring with no sense of humor ?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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.

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

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

seems good to me.
