I spoke with my GP in the US who asked me to go to the emegency room in Oslo to rule out a blood clot. I was very impressed with the care and respect I was given, especially as a foreigner. The entire atmosphere felt so calming and peaceful, so unlike the emergency rooms I have experienced in the US. Everything was set up to be so humane, and everyone I encountered was so kind. It was also reassuring that every staff person spoke English and I could easily communicate. When I left, they showed me the way out and never presented me with a bill. Other than the taxi ride, my visit was free of charge.

She immediately referred me to the Oslo University TSS Sykehus Ulleval Hospital and even called a taxi to take me there. She saved my life. For all of this exceptional service, I received a bill for 210 kroner -- about $25 American!

Thank god for Volvat. Maybe I am just used to better health care and nicer doctors having grown up…read morein the states, but jesus, it seems like the "fastleger" in Norway just don't give a shit and only became doctors for the money. If you have a problem that takes more than 10 minutes to figure out, tough luck. Make yourself another appointment for the next available time, which might be in a month from now if you are lucky. But then there is Volvat. Yes, I have had to shell out a few thousand a year just to pay for the care I want, but it's worth it. Every time I go to a doctor in this country, I get nervous that they are going to scold me for something that has nothing to do with my health except when I go to Volvat. I know they are going to listen to me and my concerns even if they dont agree with them. I know they are going to explain to me whats going on English if need be. I know I am not going to be rushed to get through eveything in 10 mins or less. If I need an appointment that day, I can just show up and be seen within 20 minutes (I am a member so this goes faster for me). I have had a couple of bad experiences with a coupld of doctors. For my first annual check up, I felt the doctor concentrated solely on checking my boobs and telling me I was overweight and needed to go on a no carb diet and cut out all fruit even though I was perfectly healthy and could run 10km in less than an hour. But when I complained about him, there was actually someone there that took my complaint and I believed them when they said they would look into it. Where do you go to complain about a fastlege and then get the feeling your complaint was taken seriously? I never have seen him there again. I just cant say enough about this place and am so thankful that it is here. They really have saved my life a couple of times. When I just cant take the stress of going to my fastlege, I know I can go to Volvat and get the treatment that anyone should expect from their doctor. Now, if Norway could just figure out a way to get fastleger to behave the way the doctors do at Volvat.
