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)?

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

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

remember this is all out of area

What are the best self-care practices to improve mental health?

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.

seems good to me.

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

Why is my vagina swollen, it’s very itchy. I had sex we used protection, but day after it felt like my insides had a heartbeat as well as itching, the pulsing has went away but it is still itchy and my discharge is yellow, i'm 15, what could it be?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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.

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

Why do men prefer women below the age of 30?

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

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

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

Why is the French way to say please is "S'il te plaît" and not "Pour Favour" like Spanish and Portuguese "Per Favor" and Italian "Per Favore" in the Romance languages group?

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.

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