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

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

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.

I took a video of my serve (60 FPS) and it took 0.4 seconds from my racket to the service line. How fast would you say my serve was?

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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
