    Brazil:

    Call an Uber, go to the hospital, grab a ticket, pass thru triage, called by name, show my id, triage decide which specialist to see, go to specialist waiting room and wait to be called by name.

    Doctor examines me, ask for exams, maybe prescribe medication, do the exams, wait for result.

    Back to doctor, prescribe medication, hospital provides medication (unless is something very uncommon, if so go to the pharmacy and buy it).

    Call Uber, go home.

    Total cost: Uber fare, usually about 6 dollars total.
