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)?

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.

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

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

What are the basic human needs according to psychology? What are the consequences of not meeting these needs?

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

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

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

How do you respond to "I don't like you anymore"?

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

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

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

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.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

remember this is all out of area

What is a fun psychological trick to try on someone?

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.
