Not much fun, you still go to hospital.

Well, it's something less to worry about

>>75762895
>he has to pay when he is in hospital

>>75762895
Can't really judge as I've never been to a hospital which charged me.

I don't know, I live a healthy lifestyle so I don't have to go to the hospital, but I know what it feels like to lose a good chunk of my hard-earned income to pay for the all degenerates who don't take care of themselves.

>>75762895
you have a very ugly arm

Terrible. Wouldn't recommend. I pay every time.

>>75762895
Feels normal

>>75763980

>living in a shit city

Lmoa.

>>75762895
I do pay, an expensive health insurance.

>>75762895
What are you in for?

>>75763250
Isn't that only true for Irish people with the medical card? How do people who don't qualify for the medical card cope? What if you still make shit money but aren't poor enough for the medical card but then also need to see a psychiatrist weekly or something? Doesn't that fuck you over? I thought all Europeans had free health care

>>75762895
No clue.

My last visit cost me about 20 dollars in total (that my job covered) for some mind bending pain killers and all the medical procedures.
>first aid, bleeding prevention
>x-ray
>surgery to fix broken thumb and torn tendon
>38 sutures to fix internal and external wound
>cast
>painkillers
>physical therapy
Now I'm as good as new. I wonder huw much that would have cost in Burgerland.
Oh yeah, also a massive insurance settlement for me as well.

Never thought of that but going to the dentist is expensive as fuck since it's not covered

>>75769225
what happened?

>>75769326
>what happened?
A drill broke at work. Drill snapped, launched into my hand (I was standing several meters away) and it went through my work glove, pierced my hand, broke the bone and ripped off the tendon.

>>75762895
I haven't been to a hospital since... fuck, I don't even remember

>>75762895
Good

>>75762895
Cool but I would still thank a doctor with a bottle of cognac and some money, it's a kind of tradition. Also I may pay money to have a better conditions in a hospital.
Also what's happened? Are you okay? Hope you get healthy soon.

>>75769381
You're lucky m8, it could strike you in the chest or head.

>>75769453
Yep, that would have been bad.
But the insurance company paid me a great sum for it so at least something good came from it.

>>75769424
>Cool but I would still thank a doctor with a bottle of cognac and some money, it's a kind of tradition.
When the current government was in power back in 2005-2010 doctors were absolutely terrified to accept such gift.

You take a bottle of expensive alcohol from your patient and the next week CBA (Central Anticorruption Bureau) storms your house and charges you with bribery lol.

You can imagine how happy physicians were with the outcome of our last elections kek.

>>75769531
It's retarded, low tier bribery is okay, it's nothing compared to billions being stolen by Putin's friend. Giving money to doctors and traffic police is absolutely okay and should be persecuted imho

>>75769582
*should not be persecuted
Fix

I heard some Americans just don't pay and the hospital doesn't really do anything about it. Is that true?

>>75769582
>>75769598
Dura lex sed lex.

>>75769225
Fuarck.

>>75762895
If you don't pay then how do they doctors get their salary?

>>75769225
I had almost same on my leg and the hospital was free )

>>75762895
bad. help is very slow, sometimes even dismissed because of priorities.
Pay for the workers are shit as well, not enough for the stress they are put through.

>>75773008
>Pay for the workers are shit as well, not enough for the stress they are put through.
Learn about supply and demand, nigger. They get paid exactly what they deserve. If less people would put up with the stress then the demand for workers would increase and salaries would go up. It's just a bunch of fucking whining, no different to what you see in other jobs.

>>75773211
>Laws of the free market apply to government controlled market
Swedish education everyone.

>>75769624
yes, there's really not a whole lot the hospital can do if you go and just decide to not pay afterwards. It really fucks up your credit score though

>>75762895
Its FREEDOM

>>75773761
Nobody's keeping them on a ball and chain, they can leave any fucking moment if they find that they're getting paid too little. If they decide to stay then clearly they're being paid enough, you monkey nigger brain.

>>75769225
Wow wtf

>>75769490
>take this money so you won't sue us for more money than this

>>75774283
Is it really worth not being able to gain employment in said sector ever again?

>>75774560
This. Had I sued (not that it's a thing in Sweden anyways...) I would never have been able to work construction again and all my years of experience would have been flushed down the shitter..
Rather take my simple but large insurance payout.

I wouldn't know.

>>75762895
dunno

i always go to private hospitals and have priv health

It's great depending on where in Sweden you live.
North =fast, reliable and effective medical treatment
South = short on staff, long waiting periods, over crowded.
I live in the north.
Always get to see a doctor fast. Within 20 minutes fast.
Little thing that happened last year.
>be out snowboarding
>crook a turn and smash into a tree
>snap my femur in half
>buddy calls for help while I scream
>15 minutes before the helicopter arrived, got me secured (on a steep hillside) and flew me to the nearest hospital. Took under 45 minutes before I was taking x-rays.
3 days in the hospital, two surgeries and later physical therapy.
Cost? Zero.
Thank Odin for that.
>pic related, what I got to ride in

>>75769381
What kind of fucking drill was that?

>>75778380
>What kind of fucking drill was that?
22 mm concrete drill. We were pulling electrical cables.

>>75762895
What were you in for?

>>75762895
It's chill. But I was exempt from moderation fees because I was disabled for a long time.

This is meant to keep people from clogging the waiting rooms to have every little thing checked out.

>>75769381
hissssssssssss

>>75777480
how much was it

>>75773761
>Supply and demand can be legislated out of existence by the government
So this is the effect of 50 years of communism

>7 week hospital stay last year
>3 major surgeries in 4 years
>Medication that costs American's thousands of dollars a month
Feels really good.
