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 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.

I went to the hospital the next day, paid 400 Sek ($40 ish) and went to the ENT department.

seems good to me.
