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

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

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

I’ve often wondered why fans aren’t deployed on GBBO during warm weather? I’ve seen too many desserts melt (and bakers too…). (I live in Pompano Beach and we try to use fans in lieu of AC as much as possible).

seems good to me.

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

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

Why does Africa have all mineral resources but she is suffering economically?

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 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.

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

How can one translate "You're welcome" from English to French using formal language? Are there any other ways to say this phrase in a more polite manner?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

remember this is all out of area

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

What were some things that the ancient Greeks excelled at compared to the Romans?

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.

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