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

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.
