In Scandinavia they have a policy to minimize the use of antibiotics, even on people, to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Which has two sides to it. It is very hard to get antibiotics unless there is a clear sign of a specific infection going on, e.g. after a tick bite those red circles on the skin.
In any other case just having high fever for a bit does not prompt doctors to check for bacterial infections. Instead they ask you how long you got that fever and if you say anything lower than 6/7 days they simply tell you to come back after 6/7 days if the fever isn't gone still. Only then they run a blood test and prescribe antibiotics, should you have a bacterial infection.
I understand the idea but you could probably test much earlier and give the antibiotics, if useful, earlier so that people can avoid feeling miserable for just a few days instead of a whole week. It also just prompts people to lie about how long they've been sick, just in case.
I mean I'm not sure I see anything wrong with what you've described.
My friends not in Scandinavia used to have slight fever for a couple of months before going to a doctor to find out it was pneumonia. I wonder, how Scandinavian doctors react to slight fever, not a bad fever, and if they send you back home then this an example of what's wrong. Other than that it's likely a good idea to try to make one's body heal itself, if the immune system is not compromised
I mean having a slight fever for a while is not something to be concerned about or honestly often not something to go to a doctor for, unless it lasts or worsens. Though if your friend waited a couple of months then your friend might be a bit stupid.
Oh, yeah. Exaggerating your symptoms is the only way to make doctors take your condition seriously. Unless you are a pregnant woman, or a cancer patient. Nordic healthcare is sometimes frustrating in small ways.
Still sounds leaps and bounds better than the US system that my family and I have been ground through for these past several decades.

Sure, but that wasn't the question here.
