good day all,

here in Sweden we generally seem to be quite blessed with a good number of 
staff, but this country uses to run on half steam during the eight weeks 
from just before midsummer -  everybody is garanteed 4 weeks vacation 
during this time. so now there are reported problems in the relatively 
densely populated southernmost part.

here in Skövde -  a rather small place, although the hospital is not, we 
serve people within 80 to 100km from here -  we are specially spoiled, we 
hardly ever have to refuse patients because of lack of staff or room.

and: people are nice, at least respectful to each other, so many Germans, 
like me, have come here to work (even though the pay is no better, rather 
a little less).

best regards,
