If you want to see a doctor here in Sweden, you do what the Swedes do: call at 8am to the Vårdcentral. Then say whatever you have is urgent (akut). You get a time the same day, 90% of the time. Otherwise, most vårdcentral have "akuttider" (emergency times) when you can just drop in.

I went to the vårdcentral drop in that morning, saw a nurse who said "come back in 4 weeks if you still have an issue" they decided me suddenly having ringing in my ears that has not stopped was not an urgent issue or a problem

There's also a few 'apps' - "kry", which are cheap and give you an immediate time. The docs on those apps can give you a referral.

That's bad luck. I agree it's a crap system, designed to keep costs down. If you live in Stockholm, you can pay 500kr and go to cityakuten.
