After
returning
from
Vietnam
I
came
to
Helsa,
my
closest
vårdcentral,
to
get
stitches
out.
I
had
gotten
stitches
in
Malaysia
after
a
road
accident
and
they
were
due
to
come
out
while
I
was
in
Vietnam.
The
hospital
the
hotel
sent
me
to
looked
way
too
dirty
for
me
to
feel
comfortable,
so
I
decided
to
wait
a
few
more
days
to
get
them
out
back
in
Sweden.
I
tried
to
call
Helsa
many
times
while
I
was
in
Vietnam
to
book
a
time.
But
like
other
people
say,
they
never
*ever*
answer
the
phone.
By
the
time
I
got
to
Helsa,
the
removal
of
the
stitches
was
a
week
overdue.
The
woman
at
the
desk
refused
to
help
me.
She
told
me
nothing
could
be
done
without
booking
a
time
before
I
came.
Despite
the
fact
that
this
proved
impossible
multiple
times.
She
offered
me
a
time
in
three
weeks.
Which,
of
course,
was
not
acceptable
as
it
was
unsafe.
The
stitches
needed
to
come
out.
They
were
already
a
week
late.
They
told
me
go
to
hospital.
Isn’t
this
what
vårdcentral
are
for?
Aren’t
they
supposed
to
help
keep
the
queues
in
the
hospitals
short
for
real
emergencies
by
dealing
with
the
small
things?
Unhelpful
attitudes
like
this
are
what
is
contributing
to
problems
when
people
have
real
emergencies.
In
the
end,
another
vårdcentral
in
the
city
helped
me
out
straight
away,
with
no
questions
or
problems,
nice
staff,
positive
attitudes
and
all
done
in
five
minutes.
That’s
what
healthcare
is.
Helsa
is
a
disaster
of
a
place.
The
state
funds
it
in
order
for
them
to
be
able
to
help
people.
They
don’t
do
that,
so
they
really
don’t
deserve
to
receive
state-funding.
In
short,
it
should
be
made
to
close
or
survive
as
a
fully
private
affair.
