Ok I see. I’m from Italy and I know what medications my grandfather takes, that my grandma had cryosurgery for a malignant mole, and when my father goes to the proctologist.

Also: families usually go to the same doctor so even if you don’t personally know something, your doctor probably will.

Ah, yeah, definite difference. Even when I was a child, we didn't go to the same doctor as my parents. My parents went to doctors that specialized in adults and wouldn't take patients under 18 - and it has been some time since I lived in the same town as my parents. Heck, it has been nearly a decade since I lived in the same country.

As far as I can tell, the US and Norway are similar - but heck, I'm an immigrant and haven't actually looked into this.
