I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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

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

When a black man and a white woman have a child, does the child become white? If a white man and a black woman have a child, does the child become black?

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.

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

remember this is all out of area

Do you think a lot of sociopaths' parents kill themselves for having brought such disgusting evil into the world? How much shame and disgust must they carry?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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

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.

What is the degree of influence of Saudi Wahhabism on the modern Muslim world?

seems good to me.

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

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

Why do trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

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

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.
