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

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

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

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.

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.

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.

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.

remember this is all out of area

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
