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

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

Has a psychic ever made a crazy prediction that turned out to be true?

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

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

Why did McLaren hope that the Ferrari pair would pit twice during the Italian Grand Prix?

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

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

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.

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.

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.
