To those people in the world who have access to universal healthcare, what experiences could you share with Americans in order for us to understand how it affects your life (positively or negatively)?

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

seems good to me.

Why do ugly men flirt with girls that are really hot?

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.

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

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.

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

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

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

Controversial BTS opinions?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

Every time I brush my hair when it’s dry it poofs up like a poof ball. But if I don’t brush it looks tangled and messy. I know I have some sort of curl or wavy hair, ive tried gels to define curls but it makes my hair frizzy and messy. What do I do?

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.
