What happens when you get sick in a country with universal healthcare? What's the process like?

If it’s something that a doctor need to take a look at I would call my doctor’s office and get an appointment. I could also just go down there and wait. The local health centre has a time for drop-in in the morning. I would usually get an appointment the same day. If it’s nothing serious he/she might subscribe some antibiotics or whatever and it ends there. If there’s a need for more tests or a specialist need to have a look he/she will write a referral. The cost for a visit in Stockholm is 275 SEK (about 27 USD) while phone consultation is free.

If it’s something really serious, like broken bone, massive bleeding, chest pain et.c. You would either call an ambulance or go to the hospital by yourself. The cost for a visit is either 375 (local emergency centre) or 400 SEK (hospital). For Stockholm ambulances is free, but other may charge something like 300 SEK. The stay at the hospital costs 130 SEK/day including everything.

If I get just a minor cold I tell my closest boss that I’ll be working from home to avoid infecting others. Hopefully I’ll have my work laptop at home.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

If it’s a more serious cold, influenza or something then I call in sick. Unless you have a deal to get higher you get 80% of your salary.

It would be different depending on county and of course how sick you are. There are also many variations. You may for instance choose to use the app, phone in or go there in person. In Sweden the cost may have some variations as it’s set by the country.
