seems good to me.

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

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

Why are people so terrified or bothered that a person has original creative ideas, hobbies or unique interests?

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

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 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.

Can you simply make an efficient DIY red light therapy mask at home using a plastic mask and red LED diodes attached inside? How good is that, or does a medical mask have its specifications?

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

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

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