    It’s admittedly psychiatric care not emergency medical, but I’ve been impressed by Norway this year.

    After a decade or so of chaos after leaving high school, I had realised earlier this year that I had some issue and sought help.

    Start to finish, from GP appointment -> psychiatric evaluation -> tests -> specialist -> testing meds -> follow up, took 6 months, and I’m $275 out of pocket, and meds for 1 month cost $6.5.

    Two things worth noting are that they absolutely nailed identifying my issue first go, and that I responded well to the first thing they prescribed me, neither of which necessarily happen for everyone.
