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

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.

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.

Why do doctors refuse HRT to menopausal women but hand them out to trans people?

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

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.

What do you love to do at night when you’re alone?

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

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

seems good to me.

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.
