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)?

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

seems good to me.

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

When a dog smells another dog’s poo or wee, do they then remember that scent for when they smell it again, or even further know which dog they are smelling if they know the dog?

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

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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

Is the water safe to drink in England like here in America or is it necessary to bring tablets to prevent any cholera when in London?

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.

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

Relocating to Sweden to save money. I got a job offer of 47000SEK before tax, visas sponsored for my wife & my mother (with a laryngectomy). My wife, a general medicine graduate, wants to specialize in Sweden. Can we live well and save 4000€ monthly?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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

remember this is all out of area

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