In this conversation

We talk through what we have learned about Norwegian healthcare: the misunderstandings, surprises, paperwork, appointments and cultural differences we wish we had understood when we arrived. We share the details of our own care… perhaps a few too many. 😂

We look back at the cultural differences and little surprises in our medical care, with the perspective and humour of people who have learned along the way.

A conversation about our experience, what we misunderstood and what we wish we had known on arrival.
