Re: healthcare, you won’t realise how good you have it until you try to go to a Swedish hospital with a torn ACL only for a nurse to diagnose you with a cramp, direct you to take paracetamol and refuse to let you see a doctor. Or when you try to have a blood test done and realise it’s not a 24 hour turn around, but a 24 day turn around if you’re lucky with 1-2 years minimum to see a specialist.
