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 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.

I'm a 27 year old male currently but I am going through going through gender dysphoria. Why do some transgender people (specifically transgender women since I see that the most) call themselves trannies or shemales? Aren't those offensive words?

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.

remember this is all out of area

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

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

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.

seems good to me.

How can I stop overthinking and take action more quickly?

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

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.
