I was away from home in another region of Sweden

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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.

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