00:08 Yeah, yeah definitely.

00:15 one on the same day, anyone who's had like difficulties like that? Have you heard about?

00:23 or trying to get through 111 and ending up going through A&E or the urgent care centre

00:28 and that kind of thing when they probably could have just seen the GP if there were

00:32 more GPs available and things like that.

00:36 Found it lately, sort of getting doctor's appointments, any sort of medical stuff,

00:39 have you been finding it more difficult, sort of having to wait longer,

00:42 any sort of experiences with that lately?

00:44 I mean I haven't had to get one in a little while but I'm with the uni health centre and

00:48 they are normally quite good if you ring them up on the day they try and find you in Sweden

00:52 because it's possible so yeah, I've come to it.

00:55 Are you happy to sort of be with them and maybe not having to fight with everyone to

01:00 get appointments?

01:01 Yeah like they are quite good, I'm a bit worried for when I graduate and then I'm

01:05 not with them anymore, how I'm going to sort that out but yeah for the time being yeah.

01:10 Great yeah, you get there, you get there when you get there.
