My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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

Do you want to have an XXX chat?

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.

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

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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

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.

Are there girls here who like group sex?

remember this is all out of area

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.
