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)?

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.

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

Why are perceived or real slights interpreted as rejections and reality by pwBPD?

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

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

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

Why cant I sleep even tho I am sleepy? I am not anxious or worried but my body just doesn't want to. I've been awake for almost 2 days and feel sleepy but I cant sleep. My doctor said its anxiety related but its not. Is this normal?

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.

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

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

Why did I move on so fast from a relationship that was my whole life and I was so attached, I moved on by 2 months?

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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

seems good to me.

What is your review of working in EY?

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.
